Thinking of a chippy tea with some fruit ciders, switching to wine as the night goes on. I’ll be parked in front of the TV until I fall asleep, probably. DP will join but will go to bed normal time he says.

I'll be a Presiding Officer at a polling station all day, then stay up for a while when I'm back, go to bed, set an alarm for about 3am, have an assess of the situation, then nap with all breaking news alerts on and am off so will watch all day on Friday! It's one of my most favourite things!

I want to get my family round for champagne. What time could it run to ?

Breastfeeding and burping, most likely... DD seems to be a night bird.

I'm going to make my seats per party predictions and feed my newborn all night watching the news. I wonder if 2024 will be as wild as 2015!

I am going to be a polling station inspector, so I will be popping into my 4 stations (with chocolates for those poor buggers that will have been there since 6.30am).

I’ll be staying up all night. Might have a power nap after the exit poll. Champagne on ice, red bull if I start to flag.

Power Nap after exit poll is a great idea. God, I hate the exit poll … gives me anxiety.

We plan to pull an all nighter, but my DH always falls asleep.

I’m planning to stay up all night. I’ve already booked the next day off work! Just need to make sure the kids get off to school on time….

Same as every other Thursday I guess. I have yoga at 8pm, late dinner and then read for a while.
