Can’t sleep & have ran out of things to internet. Entertain me?

I’m 39 weeks pregnant. I have hot feet that feel radioactive, I’m crampy and feeling agitated so I won’t be sleeping yet!

I’ve spent all day on the internet and now I’m bored.

Why are you up and what do you recommend for me?

I'm looking for cheesecake recipes. Really indulgent ones for DHs birthday.
Are you in labour perhaps?

Kingdom of loathing. It's a very addictive game.

ooooheck · 04/02/2019 23:46

@gaggiagirl any particular sort? I saw a really pretty colourful one today.

Sadly I don’t think I am. I’ve had a few signs but they never result in anything so I’m trying to not get my hopes up Sad

@QuestionableMouse I’ll take a look!

Have you tried Listverse? That keeps me entertained for ages.

Or maybe try sorting some cupboards / sewing buttons / pairing socks or doing some life admin if you're sick of looking at screens?

I'm halfway through making a Star Wars felt cot mobile for my pregnant friend... She's having a planned cs in 2 weeks and I have to send it abroad! So far I have only stabbed myself once ShockGrin in my rush to get it done.

So far, Ewok, Woolie and Leia, about 4 inches high. Fiddly little fuckers but very satisfying when they're finished Grin

Any cheesecake will do. DH helpfully has no preference! Colorful, fruity, chocolate 🍫 anything.
I'm very interested in eating cheesecake.

Pinterest. It's a swirling vortex of vacuum which sucks all time whilst spewing out joy in the form of decor/clothing/memes/facts.

I can waste a year in it.

ElQuinto - they are adorable!!

OP - google ‘Roly Tea Cup Puppies’ - you’ll be amazed for ages by their cuteness!

QuestionableMouse · 05/02/2019 00:26

Merge Dragons is good too if you're on android. (It's an ap store game)

Or paper.io (2)

Or shoot n merge

Or triple town

QuestionableMouse · 05/02/2019 00:26

Oh and TV tropes. Love that site!

sashh · 05/02/2019 00:30

I'm about to play scrabble online.

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 05/02/2019 00:43

Stick on a podcast or audiobook? I find them a good way to rest when I can't sleep just about to put one on. Hope baby comes soon!

blackheartdarksoul · 05/02/2019 00:47

I second Pinterest. I end up planning my pretend wedding or pinning recipes I have no intention of making

Ginkythefangedhellpigofdoom · 05/02/2019 02:05

Ok if you need a job to distract yourself I would like you to find the cheapest you can find.

1, wire cutlery tray.

2, cushioned tray. You know the type that you can eat your dinner off while watching tv.

3, 100%cotton king size bedding set with skulls design.

I hope you feel better soon!

Did everyone bore the OP to sleep? Or has she given birth? 😁

ooooheck · 05/02/2019 03:13

Haha thanks all!

I did fall asleep Blush up again though and in pain. Yay Hmm

Some good ideas to keep me entertained though

You could pop to mine and convince my daughter that it's not playtime, it's sleepy time?! We've been up for an hour and she's just jibber jabbering away, chewing the cords on my hoody, clapping etc. Cute but I'm so tired Confused

Justagirlwholovesaboy · 05/02/2019 03:46

Sounds adorable :)

PeakTransedAgain · 05/02/2019 03:54

Conyo you are very talented!

elQuintoConyo · 05/02/2019 08:44

Thank you Peak when i was in the last trimester with ds all i did was sew. He is a Christmas baby and I sewed table linens, stockings for everyone, a massive advent calendar....just loads Blush

I didn't deep clean or batch cook Grin started motherhood as I meant to go on!

Ginkythefangedhellpigofdoom · 07/02/2019 00:28
