Weekend Staffroom: Is insomnia contagious?

WTF???

Up at 3.45 because I cannot sleep. I was lying in bed thinking about a friend's DH's pending redundancy, the disasterous state of my paperwork, the fact that my ear plugs and a pillow over my head still does not block out DH's snoring and wondering what possessed me to set my alarm for 5.30am so that I can update my policies??????

Off to sort out the paperwork. I cannot do anything else about the rest.

WARNING - TMI

Can't believe it, had planned for ages to do my paperwork TODAY and I've got diahorea! Really hope that's the end of it now so I can get on with my paperwork in a bit. (dd's staying with pil so not doing anything until they go at about 1pm)

Morning all [yawn]. Im tired too as I woke up around 2am, let me dog out for a wee, then couldnt get back to sleep for a couple of hours.

DS1 off to football, so me and DS2/3 are going to town shopping. (When I finally get dressed )

Have a good day.

Oh and if you are still looking for something to clean Mumsanutter, you can visit me. My house will keep you going for a few hours .

I sure that there is a virus going around with not sleeping as I have just started sleeping again after about 2 weeks of 3 hours sleep a night!

Morning all,

No4 - go and lay down or at least make sure you have a rest today.

SB - have a good day at the christmas fair - ours is next week.

Well ds4 woke the mums house at 5am, and I mangaed to contain him upstairs until about 6. We have been downstairs, and while ds4 was munching a crackerbread, ds3 and scrubed the dining room floor (well I scrubed and he followed with the mop ), I have emptied the dishwasher and it is now cleaning with white vinegar, I have descaled my coffee machine - so fresh, lovely coffees for everyone , and am waiting for ds2 to come home from a sleppover so that I can start the washing.

Have a good day everyone, mums wanders off to see what else she can clean........

No 4 I can't believe you got up at that time or that you set your alarm for 5.30am to do policies, that's crazy

I'm spending the day on my paperwork today (boring!!)

Hope you get some rest and SB I hope the fair is fun x

Goodness No4, that doesn't sound good. Will you get the chance to have a rest later as I have a feeling you might need it.

I actually slept well for once as dd didn't wake up until after I had woken up. She still usually wakes up in the night as apparently she 'doesn't like being on her own'!! So for her to go 11 straight hours makes my sleeping so much better too!

We are off to a Christmas fair today Seems rather early to me but I suppose dd's school must have a reason for it Then taking dd swimmming. finally got around to sorting out swimming lessons for her. She loves swimming and can do quite well, but needs someone to actually tell her what to do that isn't me or dh as she doesn't like to listen to us

Hey hum, they housework for me. Really should do some paperwork, but as always, I will find something else that I can do instead
