Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

5.4 after 2 dogestives last night, no idea what is going on with me atm 🙄 text dads gf yesterday with my list, I'll be waiting to hear what she hasn't been able to get

Porridge container has been dispatched though and I think I'll try and pop a wee superdrug order in, also popped a wee sports direct order in last night as need new undies lol

Have a nice, relaxing safe day my lovelies
Xx
 
5.1 this morning, which I pleased with as a sausage plait last night and ate the pastry, which was good even if I do say so myself. I nearly broke and had another bag of hubby's mini eggs, got the small packet out of the larger pack, walked out the kitchen and then turned around and put them back.

@Ditto, please be kind to yourself, what I am doing and you may all laugh but it is helping me, I now have a sticker chart, actually it is a sticker calendar, each sticker is worth £1, I give myselfa sticker if I do proper exercise, as in a run around the garden or exercise dvd, and I give myself a sticker for everyday that I eat reasonably well, which really means if I don't give into eating anything sweet or carby snacks, so yesterday despite eating the pastry because I put the mini eggs back I gave myself a sticker. Then at some point in the future I am going to treat myself to something indulgent I wouldn't normally buy. I am being honest as well, there were 3 days over Easter with no stickers.

@SueEK - thanks for the tip.

@Kaylz - I use Carex antibacterial hand wash, same one I have used for years, but all the extra hand washing, every time a parcel or post arrives, think I washed them 5 or 6 times while putting shopping away yesterday, and loads more when preparing food, normally with food, I would wash before I start, again after handling raw meat, then before dishing up/eating, now I am washing every few minutes. So if you could also recommend some soap I can get online as well.

Stay safe everyone, love to you all and your families.
 
5.7 this morning even although there was a few 'indulgences'
Did a lot more exercise than usual though, so may be that balanced it up a bit.

My Zumba class is now on line via ZOOM, and although there are a few techy issues it works fine. It is so good to see and chat to some familiar faces, almost made me feel as if I was back in the outside world again.

5.6 this morning, a little up on where I've been the last few days but OK. I've never been able to get my head around the way it varies day-to-day.

Read an online newspaper article yesterday about how important it is for those with diabetes to maintain good BG levels during the pandemic. Don't we try and do that all the time anyway?

Not such a nice day here so far and thundery showers coming our way later. If so it'll save me having to get the hose out again.

Have a safe day, everyone.

Martin,
You are right, those with diabetes do try to keep control of BG, but I wonder how many more will HAVE diabetes when this madness is over...
And perhaps on a positive note, those with it get themselves in remission!

Ah well, off to watch 'Spring Harvest at home', the last morning of 5 days of joy and encouragement !

Blessings Snowwy.
 
Good Morning folks...

Its been a while since my last confession :D

Shock horror this moring when I tested at 12.5 ! - that can't be right I said to myself and retested after 2 mins on another finger, relief when 2nd test showed at 5.7 - I am believing the latter rather than the former :D

Wonder why that happens sometimes..

Have a good day everyone.
 
Good morning on a not very nice day 7.1 for my troubles.🙄 Glorious day yesterday spent a couple of hours going through posts but the sun was beckoning me so went and sat outside and forgot to post my morning figure which was 4.7.:(:DSuntan is coming along nicely scalp`s still peeling other than that the rest is as The Dave Clark Five sang (and I`m feeling brown all over) except for the white bits.😱😳:D

So sorry to hear about your job loss @ColinUK .

Congratulations on HS yesterday @Snowwy.🙂

Good turnout in the evening for NHS and front line workers, take care folks stay safe.🙂

I am ‘rather late’ in posting. 4.6 this morning after a wobbly night.

@Bloden and @eggyg I remember when I was cooking my mother in law asked if I made the custard from scratch. I said yes, in that I had used custard powder rather than buying ready made. I have no idea how to make it from scratch.

Mr Eggy made it, he’s quite the expert. I’ve only ever made it from Birds custard powder, I was always a bit disconcerted when you mixed the powder and it turned pink! It’s a very rare treat these days.

cream, milk, egg yolks, cornflour, caster sugar and vanilla extract. I used to make it as a teenager but haven't made any since me and Bruce have been together so in over 10 years since I last made any 😱 xx
 
Thanks @Kaylz and @Robin .
But perhaps I will continue to buy the cartons!! I am very much a beginner cook, having had OH cook for me for over 30 years. That sounds like a step too far starting from scratch!
 
Good morning all well it a 5.4 for me today another one in the 5's and that makes my weekly average of 6.1 this week . hope everyone stay safe and well
 
Morning

Well I think there may be success, I don’t want to speak too soon as I wont know for sure until I have the shopping but dad’s GF said she managed to get everything except my Moser Roth as she said she only goes to Lidl, Bruce’s mum isn’t driving just now so she won’t be able to get it either but I may have some luck as a friend of mine in the DIY Eliquid scene has said he’d send me some if need be, total star he is!

Anyways 5.7 for me

Haxe a chilled safe day my lovelies
Xx
