Group 7-day waking average?

6.5 for me this morning, off out to Lidl's today to get my own bits and pieces but also picking up rooster tatties for them 3 for Christmas and my tatties as well, this will be fun 🙄

Have a nice day folks
xx
 
Morning all, 6.1 for me this morning which I’m very pleased with after stew and dumplings last night. Our neighbour pointed out last week that two tiles had come off our roof and we have had a leak, caught by a bucket, in the loft. It has to be done as it has done nothing but pour with rain all week and floods all over the place so our son has managed to get roofer to come Monday - £150 aargh!! What can you do it has to be done and can’t risk hubby clambering up to the chimney stack to repair them, all we need just before Christmas.
@KARNAK hope you are ok @Northerner are you ok, I haven’t seen you posting. @eggyg hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday, look forward to seeing some photos.
Have a good Sunday everyone x
 
Good morning all. I’ll get the formalities out of the way first. A, not unexpected, 7.4 today. Not long been up as was 1.30am when I got to bed. We had an amazing time at out daughter’s wedding yesterday. It was dry and bright for the important bits, leaving the house, photos after ceremony. She looked stunning, as did the bridesmaids, my other two daughters and three granddaughters, so I may be a bit biased, and groom’s two nieces. It was a lovely relaxed day, very informal, fantastic food, and a great evening party with live music. The high heels lasted three hours before the flats came out. I even danced, not with my usual exuberance unfortunately. My back injury doesn’t feel any the worse for it today. Eggyg....powered by codeine! :D In my oh so naive mind, today was going to be a totally chilled out day, but I’d “ forgotten” that 5 bridesmaids, 2 flower girls, a bride and her parents were all getting ready in our very average sized house yesterday morning. We also had makeup and hair professionals and the photographer there too. My house looks like a bomb has hit it. So after my breakfast I’m going to tackle it all, it looks worse than it is, and relax later. Thank you for all your good wishes, I’ll get some photos to you in the next day or two. Have a wonderful day.

Just dropped in here to find out how it went. So glad you had a fantastic day, and that your back is no worse for the heels and the dancing. We are chilling over a slow breakfast/brunch (with a happy 6.5) listening to The Archers before the wedding this afternoon. Heels (well only just) and flats ready.
 
Hi all. Just done the last bit of shopping....2 days to relax with a couple of books.
Well no work + no thought of work = 5.2 🙂

New sensor applied yesterday is playing well matches finger pricks. They’ve been pretty good for the last 4 or 5 to be fair to them!

Have a lovely day all
 
Morning all you sleepy heads. Haven’t you any last minute shopping to do or are you waiting until tomorrow? A 6.4 for me today, I’m off to pick up my pre ordered turkey from our local butchers, it opens at 7am, and all other meaty requirements. Then across the road to Tesco for the veg. Then I’m not planning on leaving the house until at least the 27th! We always have a Twixmas fell walk but that won’t happen this year unfortunately. Ended up in quite a lot of pain last night, obviously the extra codeine I had taken on Saturday to get me through the wedding masked it. Hence early morning, been awake since 4, had some paracetamols but they haven’t touched the pain yet. Haematoma has reduced but I do still have a discernible lump in the area and according to Mr Eggy, some fresh bruising has appeared. I’ll hobble through the festive season and see what the New Year brings and if no improvement I’ll hobble to the GPs! Have a great day. 🙂
 
No reading for me today, off to work to see how many people want referrals before Christmas, sadly they won’t go anywhere, could be quiet could be busy, I’m betting on the busy. Hope you all have everything in order for Christmas as I wouldn’t like to tackle the shops today.
@eggyg sorry you are still hurting but glad you got through the day, take things nice and easy x
 
it's a 6.6 from me this morning , Hope everyone has a good day
 
A very respectable 5.3 this morning, last day of work before Christmas, all my 17 Christmas cakes have been decorated, pics will follow in the off subject thread. Just a Tunis cake, frangipange mince pies, chocolate orange mince pies and chocolate orange melt in the middle puddings to make, only making 8 of each type of mince pies as not everyone eats them and I don't want loads left over to tempt me, oh and vacuuming the house, and putting all the cake decorating stuff away, luckily hubby and son are both off today and tomorrow to help me. I'll let hubby have Christmas Day off as he is back as work Boxing Day at 6am, today and tomorrow were his rota days off, warehouse is shut Christmas Day and then back to normal shifts Boxing Day.

Gentle hug, I hope the paracetamol kicks in soon.

Last few bits of food shopping are being delivered today. No turkey will be harmed in this house over Christmas a bit of cow will be though, some veggies are shaking with fear, the mince pies rich fruit cake and Christmas pud are tucked away in a nice dark cupboard and I think really believe they are safe no such luck lol.

Morning all, 3.8 here, according to my Libre, but it does read a tad low. Off to pick up the goose, buy some cheese and veg, and then I'm pulling up the drawbridge for the week. (well, I will allow my kids in).

Have a good day with whatever you are doing!

Good morning everyone. 4.8 at 8.30 after having two small cans of sugary Coke for a 4.0 at 4am. All I seem to be doing at the moment is reducing my basal but still either having hypos or very close to them.
