Really anxious as I have 2 job interviews tomorrow and it'll be my first time working in over 2 years due to my anxiety so I'm up right now with an upset stomach due to it.😣

Anyone else about? I love/hate this time of night as sometimes it seems peaceful but tonight just seems endless.

Southernbelle. ... .. for your conjunctivitis you can buy chlorophenical over the counter at the chemist. Always works like a little miracle for my bouts of conjunctivitis xx

Good luck with your interviews! I like to listen to the BBC radio app if I can’t sleep, they often have some lovely old fashioned comedies like Dad’s Army and To The Manor Born that really relax me if I’m feeling anxious.

DD is currently in the midst of the four month sleep regression, she’s asleep on me at the moment as she suddenly hates her cot and DH is snoring away next to me. He did wake up briefly to ask where the rennies are 😒...

Good luck for the interview!

I'm up because I'm meeting my friend at 5am for a 5k run 🤦‍♀️ I am aching after a hard run (for me) yesterday, my throat is scratchy, the husband has been telling me he can't sleep from 3am (WTAF?) and I just feel a bit 'urgh' and not loving the idea of herding the small people to school/doing my other pre-work jobs/8 hours at work afterwards.

Roll on 8pm when I can go back to bed 😳😳

Hillocrew · 12/12/2019 04:46

Oh I'm up for a number of reasons
Slept late this morning and yesterday all cuddled up to my new pyppy as on leave from work . Lovely at the time but now i cant sleep and the puppy won't settle unless she's actually curled up under my chin. What have I started Sad

I'm up as I'm working as a polling clerk at the election & need to be there for 6.15am! A long day ahead!

DaisyRaid · 12/12/2019 04:48

I'm up because i'm always up. My body clock is horrendous xD
Hope you do well tomorrow babe

wonkytonkwoman · 12/12/2019 04:48

I'm awake because I'm moving house tomorrow (Friday),I've got so much to do today and the whole process has messed with my sleep. Just got back into bed with a cup of tea and DCat though.

eurochick · 12/12/2019 05:01

I'm awake because I have an awful fluey thing. I'm just counting the hours until I can have more drugs. I ache everywhere and I'm really hot. I don't have time for this. I have huge amounts of work to do before Christmas.

Dowser · 12/12/2019 05:03

It’s a full moon, I often react to a full moon.
Good luck with interviews

Daisy20150 · 12/12/2019 05:03

Good luck with your interviews x
Im up since 3 because sleep eludes me yet again, and start work at 7!!? Oh well. Happy days! x

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 12/12/2019 05:05

I'm also awake due to anxiety and bad thoughts. Hate it! I actually love going to work as I am so distracted I don't feel anxious. You might find the same and that it helps. Personally I find there is nothing worse for mental health than not working and spare time.

nononever · 12/12/2019 05:14

Good luck with your interviews. I'm up because I have a million and one things to do today but dropping my husband at work first.

bellalou1234 · 12/12/2019 05:56

Goodluck op. I'm awake I'm in bloody nightshift mode.

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 12/12/2019 06:17

Morning peeps. Good luck with everything.

Containers today, so it'll be a complete lottery how it goes. Tuesday was fun, 3 miles of single track with a 44 tonner. Or it might be Leeds with its eyewatering stench. Not the whole of Leeds, just the bit I go to.

LastMichaelmas · 12/12/2019 06:22

No, you were right the first time, the whole of Leeds. It's the stink of an unwarranted sense of superiority Grin

coffeeoclock · 12/12/2019 09:05

Oh wow! I'm so sorry many of us didn't sleep great last night, i probably had about 3hrs in the end. Up at 8 and I've got my first interview at 11! Feeling much more confident now and I don't feel too groggy for such little sleep!

Have a good day everyone and remember to vote tooSmile

I'm glad you're feeling more confident @coffeeoclock.
Just go there and smash it.

If you get nervous, just remember, either you get the job or you never have to see these people again.

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 12/12/2019 09:34

LastMichaelmas: I'm from Morley, which was a borough when Leeds was a village. Our noses point skyward ;)

I like Sheffield, I spent a week in the Northern being chopped about after an epic at Froggatt. I got 3 bookings for our club hut.

Anyway, it's the single track this morning. Only 2 miles this time, and not too much ice.

southernbelles · 12/12/2019 10:35

Thanks @Hillocrew my DH went out at 7am this morning to get me some bless him! I don't know whether it's my imagination but they feel a little better already!

coffeeoclock · 12/12/2019 11:34

Thank you everyone! Interview went well and I am expecting a call this afternoon so fingers crossed 🤞🏻

In other news my partner woke up in the worst mood today which isn't fun. 🤨 He's been ignoring me all morning.
