It’s 4.30am and I’m awake and hungry, inspire me what shall I eat?

Lighthearted.

I’m up from being awake with baby DS who is now asleep and I am predictably wide awake. And starving.
And dreaming of Enid Blyton-esque midnight feasts.
What’s your go to late night snack? What shall I magic up from my cupboards?

I have chocolate. And bread. I really want biscuits which is unfortunate as we don’t have any

I've just had big crust from a sourdough loaf and Dolcelatte. Rather too many calories for a midnight snack.

I just ate two of the chocolate cornflake bites I currently keep by my bedside for nighttime wake ups. Not the healthiest but they've hit the spot.

Cold leftover pizza and cookies are the true pillars of baby night feeds

Toast and marmite

Ooo something on toast and a hot drink. Lashings of butter Cheese and crackers? Chocolate with nuts and raisins for your pudding! Enjoy your snack... And your beatiful baby

Shortbread is easy to make if you are desperate for biscuits.

Do you have anywhere that delivers? I've just checked and there is a chicken place open.

Chocolate sandwich?

Cheese toastie, mug of tea/coffee followed by chocolate

I'm in the same boat. I'm on a diet too so I'm starving. Can you have warm milk and toast to help you to sleep? I can't as I have to go to work

@sashh I do but I’m not sure I could in all good conscious get a delivery person out in this hideous weather to satisfy my craving whims 😁 A chocolate sandwich on the other hand...

@Blurpblorp thank you!

I’ve just found a box of Maltesers...
I’m bloody freezing tonight so think a cup of tea is necessary...

*conscience bloody autocorrect

God no don't start eating in the middle of the night that way maddness lies .

@hopefulhalf it makes you sleepy and it's comforting though which is a bonus!

@sashh I remember you saying on a previous thread few months ago about a science job you used to do and that people could ask questions, what was it?

I’m too late but chocolate toastie 😍

When I was a kid a treat was a chocolate sandwich, bread and butter and then an animal bar - sounds terrible now.

I can offer you a virtual bacon butty, I'll just jam it into my key board.

My mother has a poorly stomach so I'm just making some congee for when she gets up.

It should be mild and soothing

How can you eat at 4 in the morning?
I worked nights when I was a student- best diet ever!

I was a clinical physiologist, that's the title now, when I started I was a 'Cardiac Tech', I then did some respiratory work.

Then I taught health and social care.

I've done a few other things (hand model for 1 hour, BSL / English Interpreter, teaching other subjects) but that's probably the science thing.

I can teach you to read an ECG and how to reprogram a pacemaker to prolong the battery life.

If I ever need your services I'll be in touch! :)
