Tea & toast for me please. Don’t spare the butter

StripeyChina · 04/08/2019 06:37

Tea and wholegrain toast for me too pls. X

StripeyChina · 04/08/2019 06:38

Oh, cool, 1st time posting from my phone and it works 😃

sashh · 04/08/2019 07:28

OK one huge pile of buttered toast and a pot of coffee coming through the keyboard. Help yourselves to milk, cream, sugar, jam and marmalade.

Tea for me, please!

Well the upside of being up early is I've dropped little'un off to catch her lift to Wales and we've already weaned a load of lambs and it's only 8.30!!!

What's everyone up to for the rest of the day?

I'm prepping for scout camp tomorrow- going away with 21 kids for the week - God help me!!!

HopHoppityHop · 04/08/2019 09:12

Wow whojamaflip that sounds very foolhardy brave of you! I hope it all goes well.

I need to unpack my suitcase. I asked DH to pick me up from hospital and pack me. He said of course, then was majorly pissed off I wasn't packed. So I tried to hop around to help. Came home and he put my case on the floor (I can't bend down at all easily Hmm ) and refused to unpack it because it was "too messy". So I'm trying to get 3-4 things out at a time, put away and rest. etc. He did say he'd help me wash and take me for a walk to the bus stop to see how long I'll need to get there alone, but he's still not talking to me so I don't know if he will or not. He said he was going to go out on his bike today, don't know if/when that's happening either.
I've gone back to bed. But will have to move soon as I've practically no battery on any of my devices!

I'd forgotten @Sashh was so good at refreshments

Are you superwoman?

whojamaflip · 04/08/2019 13:12

Not superwoman just a completely mad scout leader!!! Just hope the weather holds 🤞

EleanorReally · 05/08/2019 04:50

yup, luckily i woke, i had to wake DH for work, his alarm failed, cup of tea and stick a load of washing on, then back to bed

QuestionableMouse · 05/08/2019 04:52

Been asleep just long enough to have a nightmare and now I'm wide awake. Not happy.

PotterHead1985 · 05/08/2019 05:22

Hi all 👋

Painsomnia has me awake again. If I get an hour of broken sleep a night I consider it s good night.

PotterHead1985 · 07/08/2019 03:35

Me. Again!!!!

RickOShay · 07/08/2019 03:47

I’m awake. Horrible horrible nightmare. Made a cup of tea, how are you doing Potter?

ValerianV · 07/08/2019 03:48

Hi PotterHead, what's got you up at this time?

I had a visit from the most negative/self absorbed/oh woe is me/people need to be doing everything for me/it's not fair/it's not my fault/it's harder for me/ you're so lucky/its easy for you/why me?/why should I have to? ...woman earlier.

I have woken in the middle of the night and can still feel her negative energy all over me and can't get back to sleep.

Flyingarcher · 07/08/2019 03:52

Totally fucked off as 18 year old DS went out to night club, which chucks them out at 2.30 am. He is not back. Grrrrrrrr. Phoned him to ask where the hell he is - he is obvs fine and just hanging with mates by the river (stream) to remind him that he has a dr apt at ten. Feel like he is taking the piss and now he is going to be really grumpy with me but I don't think I'm being unreasonable.

Flyingarcher · 07/08/2019 03:54

Potter - I've heard that hypnosis is good for insomnia..

tinyradish · 07/08/2019 03:54

Yep, husband woke me up with his snoring then the baby woke for a night feed...husband still snoring next to my head when baby went down so i've come to the spare room for a bit of peace but am wide awake after that.

Twins! Aw. How old are they? :)

PotterHead1985 · 07/08/2019 08:45

Sorry. Phone died and was too lazy to get up for the charger.

Pain as per usual. Painsomnia to be exact.

Flyingarcher · 07/08/2019 17:20

Poor you @PotterHead1985 . Well DS2 finally turned up at 5.45 in the morning. Grrrrrrrr. Of course he was the good samairtan and had to drop someone's girlfriend off at a village quite a way from us. Appashe had no other way of getting home but maybe she needed to think about that first. This is twice now he has been a taxi service but that time of the day to come home is taking the pee. I didget any sleep and husband is shattered (even though he snored through most of the night).

Yellowshirt · 24/08/2019 02:10

Anyone still up? I'm I Friday evenings. I just can't sleep
