Anyone still up? (UK) And if so, why?

I’m decorating. With gin. Which makes decorating much more fun but also slower. Have committed to painting one last walk, then I’m going to bed. Why are you up? (I’m also massively procrastinating, if you didn’t already guess.)

Accidently pressed eco on washing machine, this is the bubbly H2O equivalent of dog years or Norwegian miles. it's counting down like Benjamin Frigging Button on slow - mo.

Always up at this time 3am is when I go to sleep.

KittyBaxter · 01/08/2019 02:34

I’m winding down after bath n hairwash. I’m chronically unwell so it’s worn me out, but I’m not very good at sleeping.

mawof3soontobe · 01/08/2019 02:35

I'm drunk. Decided to have a "few" which has turned into me standing out the back door smoking (which I don't do sober) and feeling very merry!

I'm on holiday so in a different time zone! 18.34 here

My husband won't turn his music down and it's keeping me awake Sad

Mandatorymongoose · 01/08/2019 02:37

I was asleep but now I'm awake again. Brain doesn't really want to switch off tonight, so I've given it up as a bad job and am watching a singing show on demand TV. Fortunately on leave from work this week.

Dp is at a festival and has been facetiming me on and off since about 7pm.

Usually when he's been drinking alot he just goes to sleep, but typically when I'm ready to enjoy peace and quiet he's in a chatty mood.

I suppose its nice that he misses me Envy

I had a nap this afternoon so am now in the vicious cycle of nap = late night = nap Sad

Gadtown · 01/08/2019 02:38

I'm up working, bedtime is around 1pm for me these days!

MashedSpud · 01/08/2019 02:38

Woke up because it’s too hot.

Janiiiiiiice · 01/08/2019 02:39

I'll ill Sad had to work stupidly late which meant I had to order takeaway to my office which has caused my IBS to flare up. Woke up about 10 minutes ago with agonising cramps and had to rush to the loo.

I have to be up in 3 hours to go back into work early so this isn't ideal!

Coffeeandchocolate9 · 01/08/2019 02:40

Just woken up and gone to throw up Envy (not envy) - I guess the work sickness bug has made it's way around to me after all 🙄

Decorating Grin Don't paint the furniture by mistake!

I'm staying with my mother and she can be massively abusive. She had a few hour screeching fit this evening and I'm still frazzled and can't sleep. Wish I could go NC but I can't. Wish I had gin as well!

I’ve finished my wall now but also pretty drunk so doing the cleanup very slowly...when I’ve finished I have no excuse not to go to bed. @mawof3soontobe also smoking out of the back door Blush Hands and phone are very painty now, which makes accurate posting difficult!

Baby making sucking noises and four year old just turned up in my room. I can never get back to sleep after waking up 😔

MammaBot211 · 01/08/2019 02:44

DH is nights, I should be sound asleep but I'm not!! I normally love the bed to myself but tonight it just feels odd.

newmomof1 · 01/08/2019 02:53

Baby (who normally sleeps through the night) decided she wanted to play at 2:30.
She seems to be dozing back off now but I'm not counting my chickens just yet.

I'm impressed by your productivity!

I am all cleaned up! Marathon decorating session, I started at 6. I think I deserve ten minutes chill... and maybe one last gin. 😁

Yes! Horrible insomnia that I’ve had since about five 🤦🏼‍♀️
