The midnight cuppa

[Themidnightcuppa]

Went to bed at 9.30pm and woke at midnight, just me here tonight so I can do as I please so it’s tea and toast and a scroll.

this is becoming a bit of a habit waking up for a cuppa, a scroll, and then going back to bed, am I the only one?

I hope you managed to finish the difficult letter and it will be a weight off your mind tomorrow! Clearing out junk sounds very productive too. Hopefully after a tiring and productive day tomorrow you will get a great nights sleep! Xx

Need to get to sleep here, too. It's almost 10:30pm here, kids are asleep and my head is spinning a bit even though my eyes are so tired.

4am toast and a cuppa

no idea why I am awake. Been away for a good hour or more. Dave is snoring on the floor at the foot of my bed normally he’s like white noise tonight he’s just irritating.

Frustrating as tomorrow I’ve got a long day.

Hope the rest of you are sound asleep

Hope you got some sleep eventually.

Hi, Midnight. I hope the day wasn't too rough for you after your sleepless night. 💐

Nice to see you popping up here and there @WearyAuldWumman 🩷

We were all asleep at a fairly decent time last night, thankfully. 😅

i have struggled today. Didn’t have time for a nap. Just back from a friends birthday meal. Totally ready for bed.

Hope you have a restful sleep.

Ohhhhhh. Not good. So darned tired but brain is in overdrive. Off for a cuppa and crunch some numbers into a spreadsheet. If it’s going to go round and round in my head then I may as well just sit and do it. Then it’s done and I might get some sleep.

DH was fab at manipulating numbers. I try and think like he did but I doubt myself.

Just putting dinner on here Cuppa. If you're hungry I've got salmon, wild rice, potatoes and asparagus. Set you a plate?

@Mumtobabyhavoc , ooooooo, im on my way, 😊
but in reality ive just watched an hour of tv which I shouldn’t have, going to try again, I was super tired yesterday, tomorrow’s going to be difficult

It sounds like you need dessert. We're now on vanilla froyo and Easter chocolates. 😊

@Mumtobabyhavoc I have really struggled today. I have had Nutella on toast. Some chocolate. And a Lucozade drink. I still feel absolutely shattered. I’ve just had a jacket potato with baked beans and coleslaw and I think I’ll be heading for bed soon. My only issue is I’ll probably be awake at midnight.

I was supposed to be going away with mum and dad, but Dad got a phone call this morning to say an operation that was cancelled two weeks ago he can have on Monday if he wants. So we’re not going now, but actually that kind of suits me. I am not telling anyone that I’ve already told I was going away that I’m not so I’ll just hide at home this weekend and recharge my batteries.

Oh, Cuppa, staying in might be just what you need. I hope your dad is okay. 🩷

I had a lovely day with the dc today and really just enjoyed being with them. I think they really got their exercise because both ate oatmeal with banana at 10pm proclaiming they were Soooo hungry and are now fast asleep at almost 11:15pm.

Dads ok, been a bit of a whirl, I laid low at home and tried to charge my batteries as was feeling tired, it helped a lot. Felt a bit of a fraud admitting I hadn’t got away.

ive kicked chocolate, lucozade and Nutella, although ive just been downstairs and had crumpets and toast. Cant sleep tonight, too many things churning my brain cogs. Whilst the kettle boiled I plumped my cushions and admired a new layout of furniture that DH and I had been planning a long time but hadn’t found the right bit of furniture and then last week I stumbled across it whilst looking for nets for the front room bedroom. I think everyone will think I’ve moved on changing something but I feel it makes the space more what we wanted together.

I hope you’re all sleeping soundly.

Heading to bed now - far too late, of course. Hope you get a decent sleep.

Sending love 🩷🌷 and support

Thank you. Four hours sleep. It’s going to be a hard day xxx

half past midnight crumpets, couldn’t be bothered with making a cuppa, serves me right for not having a proper dinner, but was late home and then needed to be out for 7pm at a hobby group so had dippy eggs for dinner.

had a productive day today with lots of things. Really glad to start putting some of the things that have been going on since DH passed last year finally to bed.

Dave is snoring loudly, he’s like an express train, he’s going to be de railed and sent on a diversion downstairs in a minute. Off to watch Lucy Worsley, hopefully I’ll be asleep soon, although I have be rewatching them as they are an interesting series.

Are dippy eggs soft poached, or soft boiled and eaten in the shell?
I'm a fan of soft poached.

it looks like it might here - well, I can smell it anyway. 🤔

@Mumtobabyhavoc dippy eggs are soft boiled and eaten from the shell, actually more commonly known as dippy eggs and soldiers (toasted buttered bread cut in half then each half cut into strips the right width for dipping into the soft egg yolk).

my favourite eggs are coddled eggs which are eggs cooked in ceramic pots where the inside is egg shaped and you butter the inside and crack an egg in, screw on the lid and pop into a pan of boiling water. You end up with a poached egg but like it was soft boiled and the shell peeled off. I spent years swirling the water for poached eggs trying to create these eggs I’d had in hotels until someone put me right. 😀🤦‍♀️

Oh so fed up, don’t feel the slightest tired, been away with my girlfriends, currently in my lovely bed, enjoying my electric throw and listening to Dave snore, I missed him a lot. He went to my parents and I know he’s missed me. We shared fish and chips for tea and tomorrow he will get a long walkies across the two fields, even if it rains.

going to make a cuppa and see if some tv as white noise will help me go to sleep, hope all of you are sleeping well. 💐💐💐

I've just had some hot milk. Heading to bed shortly.

Hope you get a restful sleep.

Anyone still awake? I can't switch off at all. I've just ended a 3 year long relationship yesterday and am worried I'll give in and go back to him.

@catshatsandchats start making a plan of where you want to be next week, next month and further on. Writing a list with positive and negatives of the relationship often shows you were right to call time and something you can refer to when having a wobble. Hope you managed some sleep. 💐💐💐

Thanks @ThemidnightcuppaI'll do that. I did eventually get to sleep around 2.30 a.m.
