To think after midnight is a bit late to be trawling mumsnet?

[royaljelly]

Ok so it's after midnight. but the teen and the toddler are finally asleep. Washing and ironing are done. I have Pink's greatest hits playing and a glass of wine. Is it a bit too late to be trawling Mumsnet for gossip, sedition, etc.

[JoySzasz]

Are you not tired?

[OrdinaryJo]

YABVVU.

I am too.

[AuntiePickleBottom]

oh fuck i didn't even realise the time, think i better log off and go to bed ready for the school run thanks for the post

[GrimmaTheNome]

Yes, its too late. No-one's here.

[izzywhizzyletsgetbusy]

Of course not.

The night is young, and I do some of my best trawling in the early hours aided by a glass or 2 of .

However, you ABU for stealth boasting that your laundry's done while mine is waiting to take a twirl .

If you find any particularly salacious gossip or audacious sedition I do hope you'll come back and point me in the right direction.

Hiya....

[SpringchickenGoldBrass]

I'm usually around at this time of night, even though I have school run in the morning

[reelingintheyears]

I'm so glad i have no school runs anymore.

[startail]

I am, but I shouldn't be I said bed at 12.30 to DH (took forever to get DDs to bed, teenage dd1 may be asleep)

[madhattershouse]

It's the best time to be here..child free and most of the trolls numpties are gone too!

[royaljelly]

Not boasting too much, washing and ironing may be done but they are still sat on dining table and probably will be for 2 days till I can be arsed to put them away, by which time of cousre they will need ironing again. BTW I don't iron my own stuff.

[ThatVikRinA22]

Well I'm still here, am on nights and it's v quiet! Loving the iPhone app!

[TakeMeDrunkImHome]

I'm usually here late!

[royaljelly]

It's just so wonderful this time of night...no-one shouting muuuum, no-one wanting a drink / snack. No phone going off, No TV blaring, No BF/ Husband etc wanting attention, No knock at the door, no parents calling 'for a chat' 2hrs later, no nappies to change, no washing up to do, no clothes to clean, no playgroup full of whingy kids, no neighbours to inanely chat to, no shopkeeper calling you 'love'.

Is it any wonder I only seem to be energised at this time?

Must admit will be going to bed in next half hour.... but what a wonderful half hour that will be.

[caramelwaffle]

Lot's of Vampires Night Owls on at this time of night.

You really need the Living Overseas section..

[reelingintheyears]

Why people waste their lives ironing has always escaped me....

I honestly never iron anything.

When DD was small i ironed her summer dresses for school.

I have not had the iron out for about a year.

[manicinsomniac]

Depends on whether or not you can sleep.

I hate lying awake knowing sleep is going to evade me. So internet surfing it is!

[madhattershouse]

Have a ..I know I am! Love my "adult time" if that's what you can call trawling round the net for want of adult conversation!!

[tigercametotea]

Yes it is quite late considering I will have to wake up early tomorrow. But even before I had kids, I've always been a night owl since about the age of 14 (I've got the unattractive dark circles around my eyes to prove it), so if I go to bed anytime before 1 am I'd consider it an early night

[madhattershouse]

reeling I have just had to buy a iron after 7 years without...oldest dc needs his shirts to look crease free...at least for the first hour of wearing

[tigercametotea]

I don't iron, I just hang the clothes out from the washing machine in a certain way so it dries reasonably crease-free. Or I just buy clothes that don't need ironing. Problem solved.

[5DollarShake]

Nooooooo, it's not to late - the more posting at this time the better for me!!

I am in NZ, recently moved back and this is my connection with Blighty.

[royaljelly]

tigercametotea I use toche eclait (spelling). Being an insomniac I dread the day I open the door to the postman 'a la zombie'!

[Iteotwawki]

After midnight where? Lunchtime here :)

All times are good for trawling, posting, chatting, even working. Which I should get back to!

[tigercametotea]

royaljelly, yes I used to always use concealer. Have heard great things about touche eclait but never used it as the Ruby & Millie concealer duo blended in perfectly with skin tone. If the postman rings though, I answer in my dark-rimmed specs which makes me look very nerdy but it does take all the focus away from the dark eye circles .
