Group 7-day waking average?

If it’s any comfort I’m currently at 11.1 having misery eaten a large bar of Dairy Milk because it’s currently blowing a hooley and raining INSIDE the sitting room.
Raining inside is not good. Sometimes chocolate is the only answer. We had a few years of umbrellas and buckets indoors before we had our roof fixed. (Now it’s confined to the garage, which for some reason was built with the floor at a lower level than the surrounding ground. Had some good exercise baling out this afternoon.)
 
I might try and order some crunchy with my next Morrisons order as I'm down to only having 2 jars and my MIL forgot to pick it up at Lidl and went to Asda instead yesterday :( xx

I’ve just discovered Skippy peanut butter ..... by far the best! No idea how much it costs etc as I’ve passed food shop firmly over to husband. He’s managed for 22 weeks so he may as we’ll continue! 🙂 It is nice though not salty as I find some peanut butters to be

Higher carb than others and more expensive, £2.40 for a 340g jar/tub, Lidl's is 85p for the same size and just added Morrisons own 700g to my shopping for £2.35, Skippy isn't worth the extra price tag lol xx

I’m not sure why this rings a bell. I’ve just googled it and it’s made in the USA and China! The last jar I bought is Kellogg’s. I usually buy Sainsbury’s own label.
 
Anyone for peanut butter and golden syrup sarnies? 😱 😱😱
 
Lounge like black hole of Calcutta! I'm refusing to put the big light on yet!
Yup, days noticeably drawing in :(
 
Catching up. 7.4 this morning, as with yesterday, although now 90% in range so not too worried.

What a downpour today. We were at a garden centre when the worst hit. Suddenly we became a lot more interested in looking at more plants, cushions, ... It soon stopped and the sun came out, and then rain, then sun, then rain, ... Tomorrow should be a drier day.

@Michael I am glad the drops have warn off. Take care
@SueEK congratulations.
Congrats on HS @HenryBennett

I hope that you have all had a good day.
 
And it’s a 5.6 for me. A very dull and overcast morning.
 
Morning All,

Done my first of my weekly readings and it come out at 4.5 for me , Hope every one is good
 
Morning all,

So close!

Blessings Snowwy

Whole Earth crunchy peanut butter is my fave. Not the organic one, that’s yuk for some reason.
 
Morning all my fellow Bank Holiday Bloodletters. Another 6.4 for little old me. We had a beautiful sunset last night and have been rewarded by a beautiful morning. Fresh but sunny, a bit like me! Nothing exciting planned, when you’re lucky enough to be retired every weekend is a Bank Holiday, but without the crowds. So we’re staying put! Gardening, ironing and probably some sort of perambulation will be the order of the weekend. Have a good one whatever you are planning. 🙂
 
Skippy peanut butter.

How about Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. I’ve never been one for celebrity crushes, so called supermodels, slebs etc, but as a youngster I did really fancy Liza Goddard. Showing my age?

True story!
We’re off to Ballymoney to spend the day with my sister in law (& husband) which we always enjoy as we all get on famously. I’m working out how to fit in an hour’s walk before we go and considering the weather forecast.
 
Morning

Been awake since 4:30am but just lay in bed until 5:40, mum away on the 6:35 bus to work, hope everything will remain ok here

I've currently got very sore, red and pretty sure missing a few layers of skin hands, filled the sink to wash my hands and dipped them in as normal forgetting mum had put the heating on when she left meaning the water instantly comes through hot and I shouldn't have pre run it like I usually do 🙄

Morrisons order booked for Monday, mostly c**p for Bruce (ready meals, raspberry mini rolls, microwave burgers, custard slices and milk whereas all I have is some more almond milk, a bottle of diluting, a packet of pens and cat food! Oh and @freesia 2 jars of crunchy peanut butter haha, Oh not forgetting mums miniature jars of blackberry jelly/jam)

Anyways enough rambling (sorry not used to being on my own so early these days!) its a 4.9 for me, new sensor to start later and only hoping its as good as the last one, fingers crossed!

Have a nice day and stay safe my lovelies
xx
