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

[AltheaVestr1t]

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.)

I've been awake for an hour. Last night was spent packing up everything from our two week holiday. My legs still ache from the number of times I've been up and down the stairs!

I have coffee and clotted cream with jam on toast for breakfast.

@Drogosnextwife I’m sorry I didn’t see that first time. You ok? Got real life support?

Thanks everyone. They will get there. No one was charged thankfully. They just can't seem to let things go and separate amicably. They have been ripping each other apart for weeks now and things just got out of control. I was terrified they kept them in the cells for the weekend, the ace they took them to is a bear pit. My dad would have managed but not my mum.

Anyone still up and about this early in the morning?

Hey Yellowshirt you're in good company, lots of sleeplessness tonight. Another thread below as well!

Why are you up?

Frownette sorry I didn't see your message earlier. The stresses of a divorce and being lonely keep me awake most weekends. My wife has just taken my daughter away for 4 weeks today to.

@Yellowshirt oh bless you - there's always someone around on here. Hope you can connect with family/friends and find things to do, maybe local events? Outside normal box? Really stressful time but try to think this too shall pass

Frownette what were you doing up at that time? I did eventually get to sleep. What about you?

I had to scroll back to remember! I had to stay with my mother this week for her birthday, she seems to think her screaming fits are 'endearing' and disturbs me anytime of the night shouting. It gets my nerves on edge. Back home now, peace and quiet, and sleep! Make sure you do something nice today

It's Friday night and I seem to be the only one up on here!

Ate something that didn't agree with me earlier 🤢

I’m awake. DP works shifts and got in about an hour ago. No matter what I do I wake up when he comes in,.

Am off until Tuesday so thought I would just embrace the early morning. Got a wash on, cleaned gone kitchen, now watching Big Bang Theory on Netflix. I love Sheldon..

Just popped out a baby and waiting to go to the postnatal ward, they’re taking their sweet time!

I have just feed baby. She is 5 weeks and reflux has set in. I need to hold her upright for another 20 mins before I risk laying her back down again.

Congratulations @Tulio are you both okay? Have you had a boy or a girl?

I'm still up. One of my best friends attempted suicide this evening. He's ok (ish) now, and staying with a mutual friend but I got home after a long drive to find a card saying he was ending it, including his bank card, and a panicked message from his sister. I dashed over to see him. My mind is whirring with what ifs etc and I just can't sleep. I'll be wrecked in the morning when I have to get up and take 5 yo to a birthday party, but can't switch off my brain.

Virtual hug Sugar.

OK I'm opening the cafe for coffee, tea, toast and sympathy.

I’m up! Nightshift

Four hours to go!!!

I’ve just come home sick from work with pregnancy sickness. I work nights usually. Feeling really rotten and think I’ll try and get signed off for a few weeks.

Been up twice to feed baby. Was just putting her back to bed and saw a fucking wasp in the bedroom. Weve all had to evacuate to the sofa as it is now missing and on the loose in my bedroom. Yipee.

My two year old didn't have his day time nap, went to bed early and woke up at 2am thinking he has just had a lovely long nap and is full of beans, 5am and he's still going strong, hoping he gives in soon!
Hope your ok @SugarMiceInTheRain you are a brilliant friend!

4th day post foot surgery, feeling sore and unsettled so got up for a drunk of juice and somehow landed on the sofa. Small joint going to be had for painkilling purposes, then off back to bed.
