Why are you awake?

[notwittywithusernames]

Me? Had a non productive meeting for child arrangements with ex. Going round in circles and have come down with a lovely Christmas cold.

Actually I'll send that to them thank you 💞

Similar. Really awful long journey.

@bluesatin @Maria1982 I hope you get some time to yourselves x

No real reason. I’m naturally a night owl, always have been. It’s like my body is programmed to be nocturnal but alas, society won’t let me 😅

@PlantDoctor thank you. It's basically hitting head against a brick wall with the ex. In the bright side I've managed to work my way through most of Frasier as I need some easy listening/watching while I sit up coughing.

Love this time of year and all the bugs!

My 17 nearly 18 yo son 😪

Yes! I was misdiagnosed by GP as congestion and an audiologist said it was wax. Finally saw an ENT that said I had severe/profound loss in that ear and there was nothing he could do. Plus I'd probably never know the reason why. I did have a CT to rule out tumours. For the most part I tune it out (though it's always there) it's just really getting to me. I sorry it happened to your daughter. Seems to be more common now with links to COVID etc. GPs are really lacking in this area too. If I had of been diagnosed earlier steroids may have helped.

My best friend of 45 years is visiting and I see her rarely. She’s asleep and I’m still buzzing from the lovely company glow. Love her with all my heart!

Got my PIP assessment back today and they’ve reduced it after 9 years despite my health being worse. Lots in the letter about how I work 2 days a week so I’m clearly fine. Nothing about the intense pain and exhaustion those two days cause. So up in loads of anxiety over having to challenge their decision. Also have to move next month but I’m now £300 less well off every month. Merry Christmas!

Trying to focus on my absolutely amazing family (who offered to do all housework while I need to work an extra day a week to manage) and my husband (who said he’ll do all the paperwork and take on overtime for when I’m not well enough to work extra). They are brilliant.

This is lovely 💕

Just got in from a night out. Coffee and bed for me now

Insomnia here too :(

I'm revenge bedtime procrastinating.
I know I'll regret it in the morning, yet I still do it every night 🤷🏻‍♀️

Apparently I've "lost" the house i was supposed to be buying as i discovered it was back on Rightmove this afternoon. Feel soooo let down by my EA and solicitor who kept saying my buyer was fine/within normal time limits every time I questioned why the process was taking so long. Tonight my stomach is busy churning away and my mind is going "aaarrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!" 😱

Hope you all find some form of relief/sleep tonight 😴

I've got two days off work then back in a 5am kill me now lol..

I'm so sorry to hear this. I don't know very much about PIP sorry but I hope you're able to challenge/appeal the change.

Take comfort in your family and friends who sound lovely. Best wishes xx

Sending a big coffee ☕️

Oh lord that would send my anxiety through the roof! I hope you find your home soon x

Same. Hope shift is going well

My feet are sore so keeping me awake

I'm relaxing in front of the TV and should go to bed but DC are with their dad tonight and I am coming down from all the festive cheer work .

Got the worst cough, every time I lie down I have a coughing fit. Came on to MN to find out how much infant calpol I’d need to take because I’ve run out of painkillers 🫠

Gosh that’s so horrible! Wishing you all the best, I hope you manage to get some sleep and sort it all out tomorrow! X

I also have the Christmas cold keeping me awake. I’ve had it a week now and it’s getting no better.

Bless you, thank you! I will appeal, just annoying and time consuming. Thank you for the kindness xx
