Anyone else awake at this ridiculous hour? I'm up watching Naked Gun 33 1/3 with a sore throat from hell. Feeling very sorry for myself

Why are you up?

Hey I'll join you....
Am up as autistic four year old has decided it's morning and a great time to play her piano Hmm
Hope your throat improves!

GoldenHoops · 19/01/2019 02:05

I'm watching you tube, a woman talking about her shopping in Aldi , she keeps pointing to a drinking cup with the word " fancy" on it and then saying "faaaannncy" in a silly voice! She 8s now cooking Tacos and making a salad.
I bet you wished you hadn't asked 🤣

WakeUpFromYourDreamAndScream · 19/01/2019 02:08

@doubleshotespresso oh no, not a good time for piano playing! Will she be distracted by anything else? Thank you, hate sore throats I'm a big baby when it comes to one

@GoldenHoops bizarre! 😂 amazing what you can find on you tube! My DD (2) likes to watch people paint their fingers different colours!

I hope your throat gets better, Are you taking anything for it?

knittedjest · 19/01/2019 02:10

Suck on an ice cube it will numb your throat.

I'm trying to decide whether I want to drag my ass out of bed and go get some McDonalds and read the new Jack Reacher novel or go back to sleep.

doubleshotespresso · 19/01/2019 02:11

Yes we have settled on a weird combo of crayons and a box of beads. Now matching colours and announcing each as go... vast improvement on piano ;-)

Youtube really covers all bases eh? Hello @goldenhoops

I woke just over an hour ago. In the third or fourth day of a cold which has suddenly ramped up, coughing, sneezing and throat quite sore. Flipping nuisance because I am singing (a very small part) in a show tonight, it's the last night of the run and I really want to do it.

WakeUpFromYourDreamAndScream · 19/01/2019 02:14

@doubleshotespresso ah that's much more civilised for this time! 

@GoldenHoops thanks, I've had Ibuprofen and some Difflam spray, haven't got any ice cubes made up unfortunately @knittedjest

Definitely get the McDonald's! They are always worth the trip, get me a Big Mac please 🍔 🍟

Welcome @Bloodybridget I feel your pain. Mine started off with labyrinthitis and now is a cold with really sore throat. Hope you manage to sing still 🙏

knittedjest my DP would love the idea of MacDonalds at this hour!

Bloodybridget · 19/01/2019 02:19

Thanks Wakeup, hope your poor throat gets better soon too. Do you find yourself swallowing when you don't need to, just to see if it's still hurting?

LaBelleSauvage123 · 19/01/2019 02:20

I’m up! Sore throat, DH snoring, leg hurts and in hotel bed, so can’t go anywhere. Aargh!

Hazlenutpie · 19/01/2019 02:20

I’m awake, I just can’t sleep. 😔

WakeUpFromYourDreamAndScream · 19/01/2019 02:22

Haha yes! @Bloodybridget and in turn the constant swallowing makes me feel sick. Fed up!

GoldenHoops · 19/01/2019 02:25

I haven't had a Macdonalds for years🤔 I'm eating boring sugar free butterscotch, I will will regret it later😶
So far I've managed to avoid any coughs and colds, more luck than good immunity though.
My ds1 has Aspergers dubleshotespresso I remember the times we sat up 11 nights in a row once because he wanted to see the milkman arriving at 3ish.

Mumblers · 19/01/2019 02:26

I'm always up at this time. I love that the house is so quiet & I always watch the Horror Channel, currently watching Ibiza Undead, love zombie films, even the naff ones.

My cat Great Aunt Cassandra is sat next to me...

Anyone up?
Tony2 · 19/01/2019 02:27

Up watching Wives with Knives and it takes a killer. Recommended! Ex FBI guy, Steve Moore, viciously sarcastic, rule 1 for murderers, don't take selfies with the corpse. V funny.

WakeUpFromYourDreamAndScream · 19/01/2019 02:28

Welcome @Hazlenutpie @LaBelleSauvage123 @Tony2

@Tony2 what a wonderful name for a cat! Gorgeous!

My other cat is called Lady Hermione The Third 😁

doubleshotespresso · 19/01/2019 02:34

@GoldenHoops yes we do a lot and I mean a lot of late nights with little or no sleep here. Am very accustomed to it now-but it is exhausting some weeks. I am actually allowing it ti happen tonight as tomorrow is Saturday.... too battered to battle

WakeUpFromYourDreamAndScream · 19/01/2019 02:35

Haha amazing! @Mumblers do they have shortened versions when you call for them or do you shout the whole name?!

OP posts:
Bloodybridget · 19/01/2019 02:35

Mumblers if you take them to the vet, do the staff call out their full names in the waiting room?

Bloodybridget · 19/01/2019 02:36

Ha, same thoughts as WakeUp!

Mumblers · 19/01/2019 02:40

Haha yes, those are their 'Sunday best' names, but otherwise it's Cassie & Hermie. Couldn't quite bring myself to tell the vet their proper titles! So it's Cassandra & Hermione at the vets. I sound well posh don't I?!
