Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning folks. Not a waking reading as I haven’t managed to get any kip. It was 6.4 when I finally gave in and got up.
I think I will be needing RSJs to keep my eyes open later , oh yes, I’m retired so I can have a nap this afternoon YAY.

I think my body has suddenly realised the season is changing again, my insulin needs are increasing.
 
Good morning

Digestive biscuit induced 5.4 for me this morning, my grandad is complaining as the panty were making people wipe there hands with wipes yesterday, he said she doesn't know I didnt do mine 🙄 his back of hygiene has gotten to me for years as he just doesn't care but what can I do, he doesn't listen so theres not much i can do

Anyways I'm off to try and chill although Bubbles is playing up big time and has already attacked Bruce and knocked stuff over in the living room :(

Have a fab day everyone
Xx
 
Good morning. Hmm something is going wrong as I was 10 this morning whilst not having much to eat yesterday. There's no rhyme or reason but then again with D there never was. Walk in the campo now with the dogs and try and walk it off.
 
Morning all,
6.5 this morning...
Celebrated my sons big 40 birthday yesterday with a trip to the Harvester...
Tricky to choose from the menu although the salad is a bit more controllable
I banned myself from all puddings but 'had' to have a sliver of chocolate birthday cake later

Oh, also cut the grass which is hilarious as it's pouring now!

Blessings Snowwy
 
Scary 11.4, retested on other hand 7.1, double checked after washing hands 6.7, that’s better phew! Shelves are empty down here, some people must barely be able to move in their kitchens with stockpiling, I couldn’t even find a tin of corned beef, dont want the rice or pasta obviously. Hey ho let’s hope I can at least get the dog food as that is seriously depleted too.
Have a good weekend x

its getting ridiculous, Lidl was picked clean yesterday apparently, seen people are even trying to stockpile prescription medication, just calm down already 🙄 xx
 
5.5 this morning. 🙂
Might go panic buying later on. 😛
I'm glad I don't eat rice, pasta or bread anymore.
As long as people don't start hoarding caulis or courgettes, I'll be OK. 😎
Mind you we won't be recycling the local newspapers for a while, just in case the current run on loo rolls continues. 😱

Stay safe and well.

I agree, my friend works as an online picker at Sainsbury’s who said she had never seen anything like it in 15 years she has worked there, not even Christmas. People getting cross with the staff as well and buying complete trays of tinned foods. Madness and so greedy.

My mother in law is the same. She’s nearly 83 and we have explained she must stay home instead of getting on the bus and wandering around the town every other day, and she must wash hands every time she’s been out. Her response, “ it doesn’t matter if I get it I never see anyone anyways” that’s strange as Mr Eggy goes around twice a week as do his two brothers. She goes to church without fail every Sunday, coffee mornings, Tuesday, bingo, Wednesday. In town with her sister all the time. But apart from them she doesn’t see anyone! Mr Eggy put her right about spreading it to him and me plus another son who also has heart problems, never mind the fact she could become very ill. We despair of her.

I was texting a friend yesterday in England who said he'd had pretty much a wasted trip to Aldi as basically everything had been picked clean, out of things he was needing he'd only managed to get milk, a loaf and some cheese, he mentioned it to the girl on the till just as general chit chat and she nearly burst into tears, when he said don't worry I'm not about to have a go at you she then told him 6 people had since she started at lunch time and this was just after 3pm I was talking to him, he does piercings and I've been having trouble trying to find antiseptic wipes so he was lovely enough to offer me the chance of him ordering me 100 from the supplier he uses for his piercing stuff xx

He goes to the pantry Monday and Fridays, the other town via bus at least 4 times a week, the Salvation Army Sunday service, bible studies, lunch club, helps at the toddler group etc, he's 88 this year but just doesn't give a stuff, neither does Bruce and we actually argued about it this morning, he's now relying on buses to get to work, not using sanitiser gel, rarely washing his hands, bites his nails, rubs at his eyes constantly and coughs and sneezes basically all the time anyway, he says he doesn't have time to wash his hands when he gets to work as he's got a living to make 🙄 xx
 
Morning all. Back to the sixes today, 6.8. Have had a lie in as we have friends coming tonight and we always end up having a Northern Soul disco ( Mr Eggy still has all his vinyl records and a turntable) and a late night. But tonight we are moving on a wee bit and going for a Seventies disco. We have dozens of twelve inch singles, mostly funk and soul. Should be a good night. I may be late tomorrow reporting in. Have a smashing Saturday ( night fever)! :D

I popped to Asda yesterday for Burgen and potatoes. As I walked in a woman walked out with 5 packs of 24 rolls of Asda’s own loo roll. I thought there was a limit imposed, obviously not. The shelves were quite bare of everything. Plenty of Burgen though, thanks goodness.
 
Happy weekend fellow wage slaves. Happy 6th day of the week / next day retired people!
Not posted for a few days as it’s been manic at work ..... planning for possibilities of closures, the little darlings will need loads and loads of work to do If they are told not to go to school.

Any way very pleased it’s the weekend.

A 4.9 this morning.

Have a good day all.

Good morning HS today, :D finally got my Basal under control will have to reduce it a bit 1 unit at a time to keep it in the guide lines.🙂 Thanks for all your concerns and telling offs honestly it only happens when ladies are about,😉 I agree there is no need for panic buying so I hope the ones buying cheap loo paper in bulk get their two fingers worth.😳:D

Not much else to report hope you all have a good safe day, take care.🙂
 
Good morning self isolators🙂

I woke on 5.9, after a nice flatfish, which was amazing considering I was fuming. Takes a lot to make me fume. Over and above being grumpy, of course.

On Wednesday, I ordered a prescription for collection yesterday. When I phoned, I asked for Levemir and a couple of other things, including paracetamol, which I use for the muscle aches and pains that come with PLS. “Sorry” the lady said “we don’t prescribe paracetamol because you can buy it.”

“What, so if I have a few bad days I have to go out every two days in my wheelchair to buy it? You can’t nip into the corner shop to buy 100”.

“Oh, well, I’ll have to check with the doctor. I’ll ring you back”

So she did, and said that that the paracetamol would be with the other stuff I ordered. As I’m self isolating, my son-in-law went to pick it up from the pharmacy after his jury duty. He phoned me from the pharmacy and said there was no insulin in the prescription. Only paracetamol. By this time, the surgery was closed, but after some negotiation in the pharmacy, I did get my insulin.

So who was at fault? The surgery or the pharmacy? Well, I found out this morning. The stupid woman had got so het up about the paracetamol she forgot to send the rest of the prescription to the pharmacy next door. So after speaking to the pharmacy, I’ve got a five day supply of my other medication, and I have to ring the surgery on Monday to sort it all out.

Anyway, that’s why I’m fuming. I’ll be fuming on Monday, as well. No football all weekend. At least there’s snooker to watch. We aren’t at the National Origami Championship on Sky Main Event yet, but I don’t doubt we will. 🙄

Have a good day folks, get out for a lonely walk and studiously avoid the rest of humanity. And specially no unprotected sex. A Hazmat suit at the very least.😉
