Just that really, 1:45 in the morning. I’m up because my period is so bad the pain seeped in to my dream and I dreamt I’d been shot by Suge Knight (who I know mostly nothing about so I don’t know why it was him). Just waiting for painkillers to kick in and browsing. Why are you up? 😀

@CalicoPusscat my mum always told me, if you want to make something affordable, you will. Now granted, she has a lot more money than I do and a lot less responsibility but as @Quirkyme said, it’s not too late to rein it in a bit! Now obviously I’m not saying anything affordable (reminded me to go check my euro millions) but hopefully it’s salvageable 🤞

@Justanothernamechange1001 yes: no more treats, I'm owed some money from relative so ask for that, no cocktails, no takeaways or eating out.

I did enjoy having my spend though :)

I have restless legs. I’ve tried everything and nothing seems to work. I’m hoping they’ll settle down soon. I’m tired tonight.

Interested in this thread?

21 month old on his 2 of 3 wakeups per night at the moment....the transition to his own room is proving a little tricky.....I'm also 7 months oregnant and the #2 is kicking like a madman too now aargh!

Eldest has just announced he'd like to go in the paddling pool. 😅

Justanothernamechange1001 · 29/06/2024 02:32

@CalicoPusscat as long as you enjoyed it, that’s what matters! I had a clear out recently and realised the reason I have no space is because I order so much online and forget to send it back 🙈. Currently selling half my wardrobe on Vinted haha

DS6 has a nasty chest infection and woke up coughing and asking for his inhaler an hour ago he's settled soundly now ................. I'm still wide awake 👀

Justanothernamechange1001 · 29/06/2024 02:33

@Threeboysadogacatandakitten I know it’s an old wives tale but have you tried soap under the sheet at the end of the bed?

Having a bad period too and woke up to horrendous stomach ache. Had to take out my cup and swap to a massive reusable pad.

whatsoccuringnow · 29/06/2024 02:39

Have covid and am quite symptomatic. It's very painful and though I'm tired it is stopping me sleeping

bloodynewusernameagain · 29/06/2024 02:46

Sympathies to all those feeling crap.

@whatsoccuringnow Husband has just had covid and had bad insomnia with night sweats. He said it was horrible for a day or two. Feel better soon x

Hurrah small children are sleeping again (tempts fate) so I'm off to the land of jeeves and wooster via audiobook for another 3 hours' break....

vodkaredbullgirl · 29/06/2024 03:10

Night shift on my 3rd night, my feet and back are aching like mad.

CommeUneVacheEspagnole · 29/06/2024 03:14

Had a night out with DH. Going fabulously until the walk home when we somehow had a huge argument. Now I just hate him. Urgh. Had an evening of fantastic sex planned but can't get it without him thinking he's forgiven. Don't know if I should.

Justanothernamechange1001 · 29/06/2024 03:24

@whatsoccuringnow i’ve heard there’s currently a bad strain doing the rounds, hope you feel better soon!
@CommeUneVacheEspagnole been there before! Do it anyway and then if you’re still mad in the morming, be mad. If you’re not happy then let it go 😀

CommeUneVacheEspagnole · 29/06/2024 03:26

😂😂😂 I'm thinking the same. I've had a few minutes.

He's making bloody toast. I'll be asleep soon if he's not quick.

CommeUneVacheEspagnole · 29/06/2024 03:26

He doesn't even eat white bread. What a prick. He's 8 slices deep.

ahoyhoyhoy · 29/06/2024 03:44

Breastfeeding 12 week old ;)

Velicirapitor · 29/06/2024 03:45

Usual for me, I’m in pain and waiting for my pain killers to work.

Justanothernamechange1001 · 29/06/2024 03:47

@CommeUneVacheEspagnole did he finish his loaf in time?🤣

@ahoyhoyhoy awwh I miss and don’t miss them days in equal measure!

@Velicirapitor im sorry to hear that, hope they kick in soon!

Insomnia but my whole life's been like this

sweetkitty · 29/06/2024 03:58

Insomnia again (made worse by the fact I’m in a hotel) don’t know if it’s chronic pain induced, peri menopause or anxiety but I wish I could sleep.

ABingThing · 29/06/2024 04:05

I'm waiting for a call back from out of hours. In fairness I dropped off earlier (no longer can I withstand 19 hour days) and the problem has eased while I slept so I'm grateful for that. Now I'm awake, still not feeling right, contemplating what seems to be the end of my marriage and wondering where my life goes from here.

Myfluffyblanket · 29/06/2024 04:08

I have cleaned the big goldfish tank , brought in the washing as it has just started raining and hung it over the airer , tidied the house , loaded the dishwasher , sent two adult sons and four grandchildren to bed , spent £380 at asda online , ordered £280 worth of firewood and grumbled incessently and martyrishly about the amount of housework that needs doing . I have largely ignored my poor neglected little dog .
I'm very tired . I've got m.e. and I need a shower before I go to bed .
Other than that , it's been a f°ckin' fabulous night so far .

CalicoPusscat · 29/06/2024 04:22

@Myfluffyblanket what time do you need to get up? 😮

Myfluffyblanket · 29/06/2024 04:23

💐 💐to @WearyAuldWumman and to @Pieceofpurplesky . I hope you can get some refreshing sleep soon .
