hmmmm. maybe setting the alarm for 4am might be better than trying to stay up aaaaaaalllll night?

I could stay up til 1am then get up at 4am.
Or I could just sleep on the sofa and have the telly on all night.

A bit nervous and jolly excited. Seems like we've waited forever for this election.

I have my cheese biscuits and port all ready

(spect I'll be feeling sick come friday)

I am nervous, more than I have ever been. I feel the opposite to how I did in 1997, then it was all hope, now I am depressed. I don't know who to vote for, do I follow head or heart?
I have taken friday off too, probably good as I have already had a cry today, I am going to be a mess come friday.

Me too - would love to stay up all night but I am usually asleep by 9.30. My DD 10 is also quite interested as she is just beginning to take an interest in the political process - and of course has only ever known a labour government - bless.

I am ridiculously excited, and nervous. DH and I are planning to stay up and watch for as long as we can - he has taken the day off on Friday!

I'm pretty excited

Just don't do anything the same time as me, I have very bad form watching election coverage.

Most recently I managed to miss Barack Obama's moment of glory as I was in the loo, for example.

I am both excited and nervous! Looking forward to staying up a bit (with a bottle of red of course ) and seeing what's going on. Working from home on Friday too, so that helps!

NoahAndTheWhale · 05/05/2010 16:26

I am nervous but also a bit excited. Am planning to stay up v late tomorrow night and see things as they are happening.

My memories of the 1997 election are doing my finals and it being sunny.

Disenchanted3 · 05/05/2010 16:24

I'm feeling very nervous.

Am battling with trying to accept what I think will happena nd that little voice that holds a bit of hope!

Am also excited about voting (ashamed to say its my first time!)

I feel quite nervous, i don't cope very well with change.

Floopy21 · 05/05/2010 15:48

I've been feeling a bit nervous all day! I too am wondering when to get up on Friday, V. early doors?

Chil1234 · 05/05/2010 14:21

To paraphrase Victoria Wood, I'm so tense you could attach jump-leads to my earrings and run the ceiling fan off them....

AvaGoOnTheSwingometer · 05/05/2010 14:21

I'm excited! I feel like I did in 1997

I'm already planning on the best time to get up Friday, not sure there will be a clear result till quite late this time round and don't want to stop up all night.

Anyone want to text me when it's all over and I'll get up?
