Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. Reporting a 5.9 today. Pleased with myself as been totally in target for 95% of last 24 hours. This is a good sensor!

Hope everyone is ok in the current situation. I sort of agree with you @Kaylz I’m limiting myself to 1pm news and Boris’ press conference or what ever he’s calling it.

Very interesting and uncertain times for the nations children. Really feel for the GCSE and A-Level students. I know students have worked so so so hard. Hope Gavin Williamson does them justice.

Stay safe and more importantly occupied
 
5.5 this morning so still keeping in the 5's!

yes - long conversation with my 15 year old grandson this morning who has been really pulling the stops out on GCSE revision, and feels as if the rugs been pulled from under him. His Mum's concern is how to keep him motivated and stop him doing damage to his younger brother in the weeks ahead with them both at home, and away from their friends!

Still these are all problems that can be coped with, unlike the much more difficult situations that many people face.
 
Good morning 5.3🙂 another grey day with an easterly wind,:( hope you are all coping as best as you can under the present conditions. No point worrying about the government rules regarding the virus and the economy because it changes every day, just look after yourselves and your families as best as you can.🙂 I won`t mention the subject on this thread anymore because it upsets too many people, plenty of other threads dealing with the subject.🙂

I have to go to Lidl`s in a mo. my neighbour needs some groceries she`s 80y.o. that's if anything is left,🙄 take care folks don`t forget Mothering Sunday even if you can`t get to see her that card/flowers etc. will mean the world, stay safe folks.🙂
 
Morning all, a lovely bright sunny day here in Sale.

7.9 @ 5.37am but then I went back to bed till gone 10! I didn't know I was tired.

Re Mother's Day, according to the programmes last night you're not supposed to go anywhere near older folks. Plus if we give cards/prezzies, we need to wipe them before and they need to wipe them before accepting! :( Good grief.

How do you make porridge as I can't seem to get eggs? I tried 350 water and 2 packets instant porridge but will get the loose kind when I can. It made a nice porridge but exploded in the microwave. What a mess. I ate what was left in the bowl!

The secret is to use a really big bowl, much bigger than you think you could possibly need. the porridge tends to bubble up and over the top of a reasonable sized one.(I say this from experience, having had to clean out the microwave on more than one occasion)
 
Morning on this, not quite as frosty as yesterday morning, morning! A reasonable 6.4, which was exactly what I went to bed on. Now what should I do today? I know. Another countryside walk, but I expect it to become harder and harder to find somewhere deserted as it’s the only thing we are allowed to do. Have a different Saturday everyone. 🙂
 
Good morning

@Ditto Not sure where you heard the wiping thing as Royal Mail aren't giving that information and saying the chances of catching it off parcels and letters isnt very likely, regarding porridge it should give instructions on the packet, I use Quaker jumbo oats everyday and I do 45g oats to 150ml unsweetened almond milk and use a small systema pot and heat for 2 minutes 10 seconds and have never had a problem with it bubbling over

5.6 for me, Bruce getting even more stressed cause as of Monday buses are running a sunday service timetable, he can get to the other town and someone has agreed to pick him up there to get him to work but if he cant find help to get home he'll finish at 4:30 and have to stand in the cold in the middle of nowhere until 5:52 waiting for a bus then get off in the other town to wait on a bus to get him here

Have a nice relaxing day guys
Xx
 
Morning all , My reading for today was a little high 7.7 this morning so for the week average is 6.4 which is 0.4 lower then last week hope everyone is safe and well as can be
 
Morning all, 8.5 for me today. Work was a nightmare yesterday. Some people are so rude! The vast majority of customers were great. I went shopping after work came home with hardly anything. Struggling to get fruit and veg. Going to try local green grocer this morning.
 
Morning all,
6.2 this morning, lovely and bright out!
Tried a new 'soggy' exercise regime yesterday, 3 hours jetwashing the drive!
May need to go for a forage for a few bits later, stay safe everyone.

Blessings Snowwy
 
@Stitch147 it's ridiculous, Tesco in the other town had no butter whatsoever, only a few packs green beans so Bruce got 2 and we've trimmed them and weighed them into portions and popped them in the freezer, I bagged up 6 portions of raspberries and popped them in the freezer yesterday, 3 different towns tried and we're still without loo roll! My grandad isn't wanting to stop going to the other town for the shopping so the only thing we can do is limit it so he's been cut to 2 times a week, the half 7 bus he gets through isn't busy at the best of times and even less now but he's still standing out at the gate through the day even though we've asked him to reduce it 🙄 hope you have luck local, unfortunately we don't have a fish shop anymore and the 1 butcher and 1 greengrocers we have charge extortionate prices, I know its quality stuff but our budget doesn't allow it xx

We called in at a Sainsbury's Local on our way from a walk, the only veg they had was one bag of onions, and our Tesco Express had no Fruit or Veg either. Other half went for milk.
 
Morning all and 5.7 for me.

Nice and bright out there.
Can't say I am caring much for this working from home lark but hey ho needs must and we still have weekends off!

Enjoy your day the best you can.
 
@Kaylz it's crazy! I work in a supermarket and still can't get the bits I need. They are trying to put something in place to allow staff to get stuff, but it's not easy to organise.
 
5.9 this morning. 🙂
Grey and cloudy skies today - but I don't have to go out. :D
Stay safe and well.

I know, the manager of Savers in the next town can't even get toilet roll from her own shop, she was on her last roll and her cat went and shredded it 😱 xx
