Group 7-day waking average?

6.1 today.

I went to the doctor the other day and told him I had chronic insomnia.
He said "Try lying on the edge of your bed, you'll soon drop off"

Have a great Saturday everyone!

Safely back home in gloriously sunny Berkshire after a lovely week on the Isle of Wight, and a 5.8 on the meter this morning.

Thought for the day - Always tell the truth, then you'll never have to remember what you said.

So true.

Martin.
Love the thought. Especially when your head is full of mince
 
11.1 this morning, but out to Italian restaurant for meal last night so left Waggon home so less distance to fall off. Busy weekend then last day to work, yippidy doo dah. (Dancing emoji). Have a good, safe weekend all
 
08:44 BS 6.4. 🙂 Not waking though as I’m going to bed soon! 😱:confused:

Tried sleeping all night & couldn’t: too excited; gave up & been awake since 05:05. o_O I finished my opening round of golf yesterday & got my best ever, bearing in mind I’ve only been in 3, tournament opening round scorecard of -20 for 18 holes. Played 13 holes on Thursday & had 5 to finish yesterday. Finished around 14:40 despite feeling rough in bed & finished at 32 & I thought I had a fair chance of staying in the top half of 50 out of 100 for the final weekend round today & tomorrow to play 18 holes. When I tried going to bed after Midnight Levemir I’d slipped down to 39 with 13 people left to finish their rounds. I was too nervously excited to do any more than lightly doze at intervals without actually falling asleep. I gave up after 5am. & kept nervously checking the leaderboard as each person finished their rounds & I stayed at 39 the time. I was getting more excited. Knew when the round finished at 07:45 that I was through at 39 but, had to wait until 8am. for the official result. I’m through at 39. I’m now in a group of 100 at number 70 & we all get finalist medals regardless of where, or even if we don’t play, numbered from 100 to 4 then, bronze, silver & gold for the top three. No medal until Monday when it’s over! I’m SO, wired, tired & happy that after 3 tournaments, & that CRAZY frenzied qualifying round, I made it to the final weekend! Whoo who! :D😛

Now, I’ll get a few hours of sleep before my lunchtime meds. :confused:o_O

Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉 It’s the weekend again & time to go wild! I’ll be playing golf, once I’m up again! :D😛😎

Hey! Someone else is making up & verbalising their own emojis! :D😛

New admin, whoever you are, please note there are not enough official emojis for use on this forum! :D🙄😉

Rather late chaps. Mr Eggy has been reading a book on MY iPad and, like the laundry, he thinks we have a magic fairy that does all the menial things like putting things on to charge! Anyways enough of that rant. A rather mundane 6.4, to go with the rather mundane day, warm but dull. Quite good gardening weather so will venture out after doing my rather mundane chores. Have a good ‘un. 🙂

I hope you have managed a good night Ted 🙂
 
5.9 happy with that. Little dull at present on the coast, off to car boot soon. Had blood test Friday so awaiting results, bit nervous as to what they will be. Fingers crossed they have come down a little. Review in 10 days. I have increased carbs as directed by dietician due to weight loss so depending on result may need a re-think, hope not. Have a lovely day whatever you are doing. Keep well xx
 
Morning folks! 🙂

5.9 for me this morning

Absolutely sweltering here already so windows are as far open as we can have them with Bubbles here

Hope you all have a lovely day! :D
