Why are you up tonight?

Through no fault of my own my inability to say No and Clarify Things In Advance I am up working on a deadline which I really need to finish so tomorrow is less stressful I can start working on the next one and I can have a breather at lunchtime.

I do have chocolate so at least this part was good planning Grin.

Good luck with the deadline! I'm up because the pie I made for dinner took an unexpectedly long time so we ate very late and are now having our bedtime tea while I finish my very addictive book Grin

I’m always still up at this time... watching tv at moment. Never go to bed before 11

SenorFrog · 09/11/2020 22:40

I'm always up at this time, it's not even 11pm yet.

ozymandiusking · 09/11/2020 22:44

Having watched Rob Rinder on BBC 1 ( so Sad)
I'm now watching BBC 4 a programme about Berlin in the war.
So, Still up.

CorianderLord · 09/11/2020 22:45

It's not even 11pm why wouldn't I be up?

Cherrysoup · 09/11/2020 23:03

It’s barely 11! I never go to bed before 11.30pm, even on a work night. M catching up with my Dh, in between both of us watching Sons of Anarchy and both on iPads. I haven’t seen him in the evening for 3 days.

giantangryrooster · 09/11/2020 23:06

I'm a night owl, 11 is mid evening to me Smile.

Greenbks · 09/11/2020 23:10

Torturing myself watching premature babies being born to feel closer to my son who I lost as a premature baby in February.

Need to stop watching this

Rae36 · 09/11/2020 23:10

I'm turning my house upside down looking for a missing ball of yarn so I can finish a knitting project for a friend's birthday tomorrow. I'm so pissed off, I should have finished an hour ago and be sitting sewing in ends and making it look nice.

HerFlowersToLove · 09/11/2020 23:10

Recovering from covid, been in bed nearly all day so not ready for bed again just yet.

DramaAlpaca · 09/11/2020 23:12

Another night owl here. It's nowhere near my bedtime yet.

@Greenbks I'm so sorry for your loss, look after yourself Flowers

grassisjeweled · 09/11/2020 23:21

Not much really. Might watch bake off.

BlackandGold · 09/11/2020 23:23

I'm trying to phone a shop in Australia to order something and it has its ansafone on!

AdoraBell · 09/11/2020 23:25

Watching TV, need time to relax on my own after DH goes to bed.

Sorry for your loss Greenbks

IncludeWomenInTheSequel · 09/11/2020 23:25

My cat hasn't come in yet and I don't like it.

@Greenbks I'm so very sorry Thanks

DreadingSeason2020sFinale · 09/11/2020 23:29

My dad died yesterday and my bed is where the sadness creeps back in.

Greenbks · 09/11/2020 23:30

Thanks guys. Cried a shit load after Ollie, a premature baby died and have finally decided to stop watching anymore episodes and buy myself something useless that I want.

@IncludeWomenInTheSequel I feel the pain. We are strict with our cats timings after spotting a fox take an interest in her. She goes out after she wakes up at 3pm and is back in by 7pm. Not risking losing anyone else in our lives. Hope your little one is back very soon.

PolarnOPirate · 09/11/2020 23:33

Because I’ve worked myself up into a right state. I’ve got anxiety and I’m worrying about being anxious. I need to go to the doctor really but pretty sure they’ll just blame all my problems on my weight. And the main thing I’m worrying about is that I have an amazing life, really I shouldn’t have any problems, so why am I so anxious and panicked all the time. I’m so tired with it all.

TheChosenTwo · 09/11/2020 23:33

Oh @DreadingSeason2020sFinale I’m so sorry for your loss Flowers
I can relate to that, the darkness and still of the night can make pain feel deeper. Sending love Flowers

PolarnOPirate · 09/11/2020 23:36

@Greenbks and @DreadingSeason2020sFinale I’m so sorry for your losses Flowers

CthulhuInDisguise · 09/11/2020 23:38

Because I've just finished jury service today and need some time to decompress - it has been a long and intense trial and I needed a gin or two.

HerFlowersToLove · 09/11/2020 23:38

Sending Flowers and love to those of you who have suffered a loss.

Serena1977 · 09/11/2020 23:45

My DH has tomorrow off work so he is getting g the DC up and taking them to school. I'm going to have a lie in so I'm staying up later tonight faffing about on my tablet.

So sorry for your loss green and dreading.

Cocolapew · 09/11/2020 23:46

Flowers for those suffering a loss.
I'm just not tired enough yet. I'm off work with shingles and doing nothing all day doesn't tire me out Grin.
I'm not sleeping very well, but never had any naps today so presumed I'd be more tired than I am. I might start a book.

Whatelsecouldibecalled · 09/11/2020 23:49

Because stupidly I thought my soundly sleeping 7 month old was too hot so changed his bag to a thinner tog one and now he thinks it plays time. 🤦‍♀️
