It's my birthday and my turn for a lie in...

...and I've been wide awake since 6am. And, just to highlight that I'm getting older, I can't lay in bed much longer as my lower back is killing meBlush

I have a three year old and days when it's my turn to get up with him, I could sleep until midday easily.

Should I text my DH to bring me some coffee, sit up and watch crap on tv? If so what shall I watch?

And for this lower back pain rubbish...do I need better mattress? Better pillows? (Really hoping not mattress, only just spent 800 on a new one!)

Happy birthday. Did you get to pick what you want for dinner ?
That is the tradition in our family.
Also must have separate gifts for December babies.

Thank you Smile

Yes, and after a week of eating crap and takeaways, I have decided that I want to make bruschetta (the tomato, red onion and basil variety) followed by a chicken salad ha!

And I want to make it. I want to be in the kitchen sipping wine whilst DH plays with DS ... it's been a long ten days with no nursery and I really do not want to play any more firefighters or police men games!

Happy birthday! Try sleeping with a pillow between your knees, my back gets really sore now if I don't.
Have a lovely day!

Happy birthday
Definitely a hide away and watch crap TV sort of a morning whilst Dh does childcare

I have always had lower back pain if I stay in bed long after waking up. Makes no difference when had a new mattress, or different bed on holiday etc.

Twenty minutes of yoga from an app a day sorted out my lower back pain (I’m currently lying in bed with coffee and TV and MN!)

Happy birthday!

Thank you both

Annoyingly I already sleep with a pillow between my legs.

Have given up and am up. Regretting it already

Kitty - I've never tried yoga, def worth a shot. Do you have an app you would recommend?

A birthday treat to go out alone and have a long coffee and read a newspaper. You will be back by 10 to be greeted with great excitement as they will have had a chance to get everything ready for you!

Dinner sounds lovely.
Bath bomb and book after dinner?

All I've been greeted to so far is DH and DS arguing Hmm

DS is just being a typical 3 year old who has been away for ten days (visiting family) and is very excited to be home.

Bath bomb sounds like a very good idea!
