Group 7-day waking average?

Morning folks, a 6.1 today which is good but I did test before getting out of bed, always better readings that way lol! Started a 1000 jigsaw of cats yesterday which I’ve had for years, got bored after doing the edges, came down this morning to find hubby has nearly completed it. Managed to get a flask yesterday for work which was good and then washed all the paintwork, doors, skirting boards etc down in the hall, my hands are really sore even though I keep creaming them, must try and get some E45. Anyway have a good day all. Happy anniversary @Bloden dont do anything I wouldn’t, fat chance hey 🙂 🙄 Enjoy your day as best you can everyone x
 
I'll put the tub they are in into one of the drawers next time I'm in the kitchen! I didn't think yesterday and set it on my laptop for 10 minutes and had rather soft chocolate at one end 😱 won't be making that mistake again! Next move I want to try a mint or orange club! xx
Ooh orange club, yum yum yum 😛😛
 
It’s our wedding anniversary today - 24 years. We thought we’d be whacky and stay in and do nothing to mark the event - crazy, right? Happy Anti-versary to us!
Happy anniversary, don't go too overboard with the celebrations 😱 hope you guys can do something a little better to celebrate it soon xx
 
5.7 for me this morning, so ok with that,

@Kaylz, sorry your dad is being such an arse, my family are going out of their way to make sure my mum and dad have food supplies, and keep each other going with a family group chat.

@Northerner - congrats on your HS.

@Bloden - happy anniversary.

@ColinUK - how are you feeling now?

Take care everyone and sending my love.
 
5.3 this morning
Good neighbourhood turn-out for the NHS clapping again last night.
I found it quite a morale booster to just see more people, and most of them smiling and cheering.

He took over 72 hours to even respond to me yet Bruce's mum couldn't be better, phoning me from the shops etc, wouldnt be that if it was him needing help and I didn't do as was wanted! Ah well now I know how it is I won't be going out of my way for him xx
 
Glad to see you’re back in the 6s @SB2015. There must be a combined word for cycling and shopping. :D

Morning all.🙂 6.0 for me...snap @eggyg.

Happy Anniversary! 🙂
 
Morning all. A big, fat round 6. Happy with that, as had pasta last night and not wholemeal, just had to take what I was given. It’s our eldest daughter’s 36th birthday today and not only is she unable to celebrate it with us, she is attending her father in law’s funeral. Not a happy day. Only 10 allowed, no church service, just a graveside service. Very, very sad times. We’ll FaveSkype/ Whatstime her later and she can have the pleasure of looking up our nostrils for a few minutes. That should cheer her up! Hope your day is better. 🙂
A day of very mixed emotions for you all :( I hope she is able to have a great Unbirthday when we are through all this 🙂

May I suggest "cycshopling" :D
5.4 this morning.

Stay safe and well.

Morning all it’s a 4.0 today 🙂 Arm and neck muscles are co-operating this morning !

Happy anniversary @Bloden, nice HS work @Northerner , good KitKat experiment @Kaylz🙂

A tough day for your family @eggyg:(

Go for the cheese @Robin it’s Friday - I think! 🙂

I hope it’s going as well as it can for you all🙂

My dad was an arse too! I washed my hands of him eventually, what a weight off my shoulders that was.

Pretty close to that myself to be honest, he left my mum and me when i was 9 months old (affair), at about 13 he stopped talking to me for a couple of years because I developed a fear of flying so wouldn't go to Spain with them, he stopped talking to me again about 2011 and only started speaking again cause his dad died (they barely spoke to each other either) yet he'd drop everything for his dear darling god son and run to the rescue! xx
 
Morning all, 9.3 for me today. And managed to stay in bed until just before 8am. I've got the next 3 days off work, should have been going to London for trevs birthday.
 
Morning

First Superdrug order (mouthwash & micellar water) has been shipped

Asked my dad if he could help me out a little bit by picking stuff up at Asda for me and dropping it off when he’s passing my town EVERY morning, his reply was he didn’t have time, it would take him 5 minutes to come off the dual carriageway and in town, drop my stuff off at the door and then another 5 minutes to get back up on to it, feel so broken hearted that he can’t spare me 10 minutes to see me through with supplies, never mind though times like these really do show who cares and is there to help as Bruce’s mum called me from Tesco yesterday to see if I was needing anything so she got a few things for me

Called the eye department regarding my check up on the 14th to be informed it’s been cancelled and rescheduling may take up to 6 months, 20 minutes later the letter telling me it had been cancelled arrived

Anyways 5.6 for me, braved a change in food and beat my demon a little yesterday, had a 2 finger dark chocolate kit kat with dinner and it didn’t go too badly at all

Pretty chuffed just hoping it wasny a fluke!

I am envious Kaylz, not just the superb graph but also the dark chocolate fingers.
Take care.

How about shycling?
Congratulations on your anniversary. Are you going to dress for dinner tonight.
I hope you have a bottle of bubbles in the store cupboard.

I'd send you some if I could but was hard enough to find them as it was! lol, MIL to the rescue though :D

5.4 this morning. Basal now down to 120%, so whatever it was is going away. Very happy with that.

Impressive graphs from @Northerner and @Kaylz.

What a difficult day for your daughter today @eggyg. Glad that you will have a stance to share nostril views this evening. Perhaps there can be two gatherings after all this. An unbirthday, and a chance to share happy memories of your daughter’s father-in-law.
