Group 7-day waking average?

Filling done 🙂 lets just say dinner was well erm interesting 🙄 filling was on the side I usually eat on!

Was offered the broken tooth out today but declined as at least next week the denture will be going in straight after so I should be able to vape without worrying about sucking the clots out and risking dry socket

Had a wax mould of the denture with the teeth that are already missing and have to say it looks pretty good! :D

Just got here at the hospital & checked in: loads of people; I’ll bet early like me because of public transport! Receptionist didn’t even bat an eyelash! 🙄

Just got called in at 10:50am just as I was composing what’s above. Always worth checking in straight away as they’ll fit you in if they can because you’re there! Got out at 11:05 just in time for the hospital mini bus to the station at 11:08. 😛:D

It’s only Monday, & the practice rounds started yesterday, & it’s MADNESS out there! It was only my local bus service, more or less at my front door 750 steps down the lane to the main road, that has changed their timetable. All the other bus services have loads of extra services. There’s a whole brand new fleet of double decker air conditioned buses & I got the Belfast Express back from the bus station. Had to get a taxi back from the town centre so, not quite so convenient. Traffic is chock a block & LOADS of visitors, even in my little town off the beaten track. 😱😳:D😛😎

I’ve seen GOT madness these 5-8 years but, this tops that by ten times! It was 168 years ago since The Open was at Portrush & it’s a mad house! It’ll go completely mental if Rory McIlroy wins it! 😱😛:D😎

So, I’m back earlier than if I’d taken the normal local bus at 12:40 getting there at 13:10! Who’d thought it! 🙄

Good afternoon,
Flatish 3.0 out of bed. The low carb has abolished daytime spikes, overnight Levemir still needs tweeking.
Postman delivered results from latest eye exam, back ground retinopathy level 1. A great result, as no sign of maculopathy and next appointment extended back to 12 months.
A good start to the week.

Great news about the eyes 🙂
 
Hi folks kept it a bit high after a couple of days around twoish, not nice but controllable.🙂 Just been to the loo, sat down, noticed my boxer shorts was missing of definitive article said undoable buttons.:( On reflection and under scrutiny, said buttons was in reverse no wonder the piles are playing up.:D Well 8.7 this morning back down to 5.8 now, have to renew my passport tomorrow as off to France in a couple of weeks. Still a bit weak to reply to posts so forgive me for not responding except for @Carolg, happy retirement welcome too the club.🙂

Sleep tight my friends time to trawl the forum.🙂
 
Morning bumble bees, a round 7 today. 8 working days to go before I have 15 glorious days of freedom, so mark my words get your wellies and waterproofs out, every single year thus far the rain has set in the day before I have leave and generally leaves the day I go back to work. Perhaps it’s nature’s way of trying to rid me from this green and pleasant isle 😛
 
Morning all, on yet another glorious day, I’m getting quite suspicious about this, I live in the Lake District, do they not know we need rain to keep our lakes filled to supply Manchester with water? I’m not bothered really, it’s great, long may it last! Anyways, digression again, 6.2 today. It’ll have to do as @Hazel hasn’t yet sent me her meter. Well done @Northerner on the HS. I’m not jealous at all! 🙄 Another day of gardening/pond building awaits, after the ironing. :( Have a tremendous Tuesday. 🙂
 
Good morning folks! 🙂

Well first treatment at the dentist since I was diagnosed and have heard folk suffering with levels after anaesthetic but I did not too bad with a high of 8 at tea time, not too bad considering I woke to a 7.3, lets hope they behave just as well next week!

It's a 6.6 this morning and off out in an hour to go sign on, can I make it hypo free this time? only time will tell lol

Hope you all have a great day! :D

Morning all, a 7.8 for me today. Libre sensors ordered ready for going to Dorset in a few weeks time.
 
Another late check in for me. Temporary reprieve from my insomnia!
5.3 for me this morning,

A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet.
He tells the vet, "My dog's cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?"
"Well," says the vet, "let's have a look at him"
So, he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth.
Finally, he says "I'm going to have to put him down."
"What? Because he's cross-eyed? "
"No, because he's really heavy"

Have a great day, everyone.

Dez

Took ages to get to sleep last night due to noisy hedgehog courtship in the back garden.

I'd advise them to try the missionary position, much less painful! 😛😱:D
 
Half a night sleep. Awake till well after 2am snack so 9.1 this morning.
Had a lovely last day at work, with lots of nice pressies and best of all a huge card made by our customers we support. Brain mashed now ‍♀️

Lots of cuddles and good wishes and funny to see all the staff I interviewed when recruited over the years.
A wee bit apprehensive about no more work, but mostly happy happy
 
Good morning folks🙂

I woke up on a rather shameful 8.5. No excuse, just carelessness. Yesterday late afternoon had a score of 2.2, probably due to unusual exertion. Overcorrected that, then had a curry, and misjudged a bolus. Just part of the game, no big deal. I blame post hypo brain fog, plus Tramadol brain fog. Wish I was healthy, I could just get blotto. I know how to manage with that:D

Speaking of being blotto, I see the victorious English cricket team were invited to number 10 to be congratulated by Mrs May (who was at the game). In 2005 when England won back the Ashes, the team turned up at number 10 completely off their faces, hilariously so. The current lot were obviously sober as a judge. How times change.🙄

Still, Winston Churchill led the country to triumph in WWII without being sober from 1940 to 1945. What that proves, I don’t know.

Anyway, this afternoon a telly engineer is coming to scope out fixing a wall bracket for a new telly in the man cave. That’ll be me sorted ready for the Ashes in a few weeks. Il just be seeing Mrs B for morning coffee, lunch and dinner. Just like Uni, but with less conjugation.:confused:

Have a good day, everyone. Tomorrow is time to start winding down for the weekend🙂
