Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 7.1 on another fabulous day,🙂 caretaker is walking around in his Hazmat suit spraying everything that doesn`t move.🙄:D Wait for the news on Prince Charles on another thread perhaps.😱

Nice one @Flower congratulations on HS.🙂

I must admit @MeeTooTeeTwo I like @Northerner picked up on that word (unprecedented) it made I smile very loudly.😛

Take care folks and a mighty thanks to all our key workers, stay safe.🙂
Ted and everybody else, we can show our support for those NHS heroes here

I'm glad to see they used "something that has never been seen ever before. " rather than that other word. :D

Well that's Bruce here, he phoned the health & safety guy to see about getting a lift last night and he advised him not to go in, there's no point in him not coming here as he's been here since he was last in contact with anyone and mum's still going out to the shops obviously so yeah xx
 
Afternoon all. 8.3 @ 7.08am. Getting higher but eating too much as usual. I feel quite ill. Me and Mum never shook off the sniffles from last time (which I think was the virus) and now everything has flared up again, sniffles, sneezing, sore throat, headache, hurty and now I feel horrible inside like I've taken Cocodamol but I haven't. Yuck. I'm okay though because I still want to eat egg and chips. That's the measure. I will know if I'm really ill if I lose my appetite. :D Going out for exercise this morning was good. I could get across the road. So quiet. Beautiful day too. Have a good day all.

I don't feel so bad now. I will lie down in a mo while Mum watches Gone With The Wind again. :D
 
Thanks @MeeTooTeeTwo what a horrific tale about Michelle ordered 4 alarms for the family, take care my friend.
 
Morning all, a 6.1 this morning.
After a 6 hour episode of 'atrial flutter' yesterday which I had not had for months, I am hoping for a calmer day!

6.7 today. Got a call from one of the GP’s at work yesterday asking if I was willing to come back as there are 18 people off and virtually no secretarial cover. Of course I said yes, but have to wait for them to set up a ‘hub’ for those of us that are classed as ‘vulnerable’. Think it will be better for my mental health as had a really bad unexpected day yesterday feeling dreadful. If I have something to do that is helpful I’m sure I will feel better and I’m fed up with cleaning now. Have a good day all and stay safe x
 
Morning all. A pleasant enough 6.2, just like the day. I woke to sad news, had a message from my eldest daughter, her father in law dies last night. He had recently gone into a care home, he had vascular dementia. Unfortunately, like all care homes, it had been closed to visitors for two weeks so the family hadn’t been able to visit him and it was too late, he died 3 minutes after arriving at the hospital. So sad. And on that somber note, stay well and stay safe everyone.
 
morning all it's a 7.0 from me this morning , hope everyone is safe and well
 
Morning

@eggyg So sorry to hear your sad news

6.6 for me, got 1kg mince, sprouts, fine beans, butter and the gold dust....toilet roll all from Lidl yesterday! Bruce's mum was going to take him to Tesco in Montrose but as they had already been stopping cars and his mum said she'd been to Lidl in the morning and it was quite well stocked we decided to would be best to try there, shame it's the only supermarket in our town as makes this a little more difficult at this time

Xx
 
Good morning 🙂 6.3 for me today 🙂 I've decided that I have a solar-powered pancreas that is seasonally activated 😱 Last week, when we were still in Winter, I was using 28-29 units of insulin per day. Since we have moved into Spring I have had to drastically reduce the insulin, and yesterday I used 11 units - and still needed to top up with some unscheduled custard creams in the afternoon and evening! 😱 Type Weird, that's me! 😱 🙂

I hope everyone has a good day 🙂

Sorry to hear your sad news @eggyg, that is such a shame they weren't able to say goodbye :(
 
5.4 this morning.🙂

Stay safe and well.

Dez
 
Morning all, a rare excursion into the 5s with a 5.4 here. Must have been the walk yesterday. Signs of Spring, the larks were twittering away in the sunshine....and a farmer was slurrying his fields. At least it proves I haven’t lost my sense of smell!
 
5.1 this morning
Like @Northerner I think there must be some sunshine influence going on - be interesting to see what happens next week when the weather forecast is cold and gloomy again.
My old Dad used to predict rainfall quite accurately by a pain in his leg - may be blood test results can do the same. 😎
 
An improved 5.9 this morning, however eyes are a bit blurry, but I have had that before and settles after a while..

@eggyg so sorry to hear your sad news,

@Ditto hope you start to feel better soon, just rest as much as you can while looking after mum.

Everyone stay as safe as you can, and I truly mean this, this forum has kept me sane and I love you all. When we can whether later this year or even next we should do as large meet ups as we can, I can bring @Stitch147 with me as she is only about 30 mins drive away.
