Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning all well it's that time of week again I think so today's reading is 6.3 It looks like at last I'm back in the 6's with an average of 8.0 for the week
 
Morning all, chilly morning, up early to let the dog out who did her business and then came in and was promptly sick all over the hall - not a great start to the day. Washed hands AGAIN, they are getting sore despite all the hand cream. Went to Sainsbury’s yesterday, huge long queue and lots of things still missing inside, thought they had got their supplies sorted, never mind.
Hubby’s 70th birthday today but of course no great celebration. I am cooking him a gammon roast with all the trimmings and managed to get him some of his favourite chocolates and a Billy Connolly book so he will be pleased with those. Also got a gift voucher for the x-box store for my step grandson (16) so that he can order a new game, he’s finding it the most difficult in our family about not going out but does understand the importance of not doing so. Apart from cooking said meal I think I will attempt the front garden today. Oh and a 6.2 for me today which is a miracle considering the carbs I have been consuming. Have a good day all and stay safe x
@Michael12421 glad you are feeling a touch better
@ColinUK hope you start feeling better very soon
@Kaylz im sorry about your dad, sad to say some people just don’t appreciate what they have. My daughter in law has a mum and dad who couldn’t give two hoots about her and it breaks my heart, she is so lovely and it truly is their loss. She has turned her back on them now for her own sanity and I have to agree with her. Take good care x
 
Awful nights sleep last night and that’s reflected in the 10.7 this morning I’m assuming.

If this doesn’t settle down this week I’ll contact the GP to ask about doubling the metformin temporarily.
 
Morning

Biscuit induced 5.5 for me today, mums off up.to Lidl today, Bruce's mum bringing more supplies from top of the town

Haven't slept well in days, lower back is agony.on occasions so generally just feeling fed up
Xx

Good morning . 6.3 on the finger. I have just applied a new sensor I hope this one is as good as the last one.
I am in total shock, I’ve only managed to nab a Sainsburys shopping delivery slot for next week 🙂
I’ve not read any posts yet ,so I hope all is well with you all.

I’m in shock too, as I got the last Tesco click and collect for the whole of next week! It’s at 8-10am on Monday. I’m assuming someone must have cancelled as I logged on. I wonder if I’ll get everything? I’ve ordered loo rolls! Still can’t get tomato purée!

Happy birthday Mr EK. I hope he has the best day possibly. I’m 60 in two weeks and obviously the celebrations are curtailed too, but as long as the family are well that will be the best birthday present for me. 🙂
 
Morning all. Been up a while but was busy with my surprise Tesco click and collect spot! Isn’t it funny what things excite us at the moment! I digress, 6,4 on the finger. That’ll do me as it’s exactly what I went to bed on. Groundhog Day again. Eat, walk, sleep, repeat! Have a good ‘un, if you can. 🙂
 
Morning all, 4.6 here, and needed jelly babies in the night despite dropping basal. Must be all the spring cleaning yesterday, I even got to clean on top of the kitchen wall cupboards, (having weighed up the risk of climbing on to the worktop to reach them, I read on the news that injuries caused by DIY are up, not what the NHS needs right now)
 
Morning all. 🙂 5.6 here.

Thank you for all the anti-versary best wishes!:D Hubby cooked up a storm and we finished off with a chocolate cheesecake...oh yeah. Then we watched a programme on country music, which I knew nothing about. Perfect!😛
 
Morning all and 5.7 for me on this bright Saturday morning.

The DF seems to have taken up residence chez khskel as things are interesting on the blood sugar level front at the moment. Nothing too dramatic just a bit more challenging than usual.

On a brighter note it looks like my band has a record deal, no large sums involved but so what. Better get writing some more songs so we can hit the studio when this is all over.

Have a good day everyone.
 
5.4 for me this morning.

@SueEK - hope hubby has a nice day for his birthday. my son, daughter and daughter in law have all had lockdown birthdays this year.

@ColinUK - I really hope you start to feel better soon.

@Kaylz - focus on the family that care about you, those are the ones that count.

daughter in law went shopping yesterday, she is trying to shop for her mum who is in her 70s, her sister who has not long finished cancer treatment, an elderly neighbour and of course herself and the 3 kids. She spent 5 hours in total, with queueing, walking to shops, back around delivering to her mum and sister, but she got everything she needed. Thankfully as her oldest daughter is 17 it meant she didn't have to take the 4 and 7 year old out with her. But doing it this way she keeps the shopping trip to once a week.
 
5.9 this morning. 🙂
In our last supermarket delivery, as expected, there were a lots of substitutions, well you have to make do in these times. One was not our usual washing powder. I've developed an itchy rash on my back. 😡
The same thing happened back in the eighties when we tried out one of those new biological detergents everybody was raving about. 🙄
Oh well, I'll just have to dig out the stored away summer clothes until we can get our usual brand.

Stay safe and well, and above all stay in as much as possible.

Morning all, 9.4 for me today. Haven't got much planned for today. Hope everyone is staying safe and well.

Have you tried Eco Eggs?
I’ve got one and really find it good. Plant based, perfume free, hypoallergenic.
I’ve now got a washer drier so haven’t been using it since moving homes recently.
I’ve got spare pellets and could easily post it to you 🙂
 
@ColinUK 🙂
Just googled those, they look very interesting. Might give them a try when this is all over. We should be able to get our usual brand next delivery. The itch is a lot better today, thanks to a couple of applications of E45 or was it WD40? 😛

Thanks so much for your very kind offer. It's thoughtful acts of kindness like yours that let us all know that we will get through this thing despite the selfish thoughtless actions of a small minority.

Hope you're feeling better and those levels get back in line soon. 🙂

Stay safe and well, and above all stay at home.

That is so sad. :(

LOL.

G'day all. A 9 for me which is dire. Lots washing on the line, blowing nicely and the dark clouds have gone so it's sunny and bright. Mum's up and settled, late today as it was a bit all go with bro-in-law coming to pick up my son's groceries for this week. I got him too much really, but once in the routine I'll get organised with it. He needs to do me a list. Bro-in-law wearing a new snazzy heavy duty mask they gave him at the town hall this morning. Better late than never! Town hall is shut really, dunno why they are there.

I luvs hunter gathering, it's my raison d'etre at the minute, I'm shopping for four peoples. I was out before 8 to the big shops and it was all very civilised with markers where to stand and a q for Aldi and a longer one for Sainsbury's but moving fast. I was in and out really but then had to wait ages for the bus home, my headache went really bad, had a lot of headaches lately. The only thing I couldn't get today was Brillos and tinned prunes, but Mum isn't desperate for that last as we have a tin in the cupboard. Ages since I've been on a bus. It was mostly empty and also they've done away with the 'no oap's before 9.30am' rule. Yay! I came back with a headache due to other proles being all jolly and chatty.

My friend sent this:

I'd have put the cough as one of the main symptoms, absolutely horrendous if it was C that we had. Also, aches and pains, that funnypec pain that I had made me call the doctor. I never call the doctor!

I feel quite accomplished so will now chill with Bookworm...forgot to say Mum got her letter, she's now on 12 week lock-down and a fat lot of difference that'll make to us! She wants to know does she get a bag of groceries like them people on the news?

Hi Ditto, long time no speak.

Your mum needs to register here to get one of those free bags of groceries;
