Come tell me!

insomnia kicking in. But also had a job interview today and got the job! Which is far less stressful that my current job. But worried about telling my current work friends etc

Im sat up in bed watching the good wife. Playing prison tycoon on my iPad.. riveting stuff

Woke up with period pain (have had Mirena coil in 2 years and bleeding mostly stopped after the first year, but now I've been having proper heavy and painful ones quite frequently). Bit shit given that it's meant to last 5 years.

I have a very long day ahead of me with early travel for work and 6 hrs total of trains. Sigh.

Also listening to dawn chorus. Can't recognise the birds but they are so loud!

Insomnia - on steroids

Pollydoodledoo · 27/03/2025 04:59

Snoring DH and back pain has sent me to sofa. I'm sick of him rumbling away while I have to move

Oh I feel your pain. Noone sleeps better than a man that knows his partner can't sleep due to back issues and is sleep deprived. I'd say my neighbours think we play double bass all night the snores out of him. He's up now and heading to work, the walls have settled again, god love them 😂

burntoutnurse · 28/03/2025 00:12

Back again 😭 hoping to get to sleep before 6am tonight!

I'm awake. Sorry you're still having trouble sleeping.

MinkyWales · 28/03/2025 00:18

I’m here too. Just finished working and off to bed, once I’ve sorted out the washing.

burntoutnurse · 28/03/2025 00:19

The wind is loud here tonight.

told two of my closest work friends today I’d taken another job and they cried. So it’s been a mix emotions kinda day

Fabulous news on the job!! Congrats

I'm procrastinating getting some work done on my laptop so sat scrolling mumsnet on the sofa with my cat!

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 28/03/2025 00:22

Wide awake here, been shopping online as I can’t sleep. Bought a few things I really didn’t need.

Worriedgrandmasss · 28/03/2025 00:22

I am probably just overtired. I didn’t sleep last night,brain too busy and then up at 5 ,just finished 13 hour shift! Am absolutely exhausted,having marmite toast and hopefully conk out soon 🙏🙏

purpleme12 · 28/03/2025 00:24

Tried to swallow my tablets and sicked them back up 😞

DrPrunesqualer · 28/03/2025 00:25

Isn’t it obvious.
We’re all on Mumsnet 😆

AdoraBell · 28/03/2025 00:27

Just about to go to bed. Watching TV. Hope everyone can sleep.

DrPrunesqualer · 28/03/2025 00:27

Although I’m now just wondering what The Good Wife is like 🤔

I’m on mumsnet (obvs), buying mending yarn online to sew up a hole in a jumper, and running an AI image generator to try to get a picture of my cat as a Disney character.

IdaClair · 28/03/2025 00:39

Congrats! I’m working. And on here because I’m waiting for a file to download

EdnaMole · 28/03/2025 00:41

I’m sitting on a very hard floor in A&E with my 85 year old dad who’s waiting to be seen after a fall. We’ve had XRay and blood tests and we have already been here 7 hours…waiting to see the doctor. Been back and forth with GP and 111 since 5am this morning..oh and I’m a teacher so I’ve also put in a full day with 30 crazy ass kids. To say I’m tired is a bit of an understatement. Dad is very grumpy and impatient and is making his feelings about the situation plain. Need to pull up my positive and patient pants…

Oh no! A&E is an awful place these days! I hope your dad is ok!

I'm downstairs on mumsnet. I love this time of night - everyone is fast asleep, the telly is off and all is quiet. I might go up to bed soon it just depends on if I feel tired enough, I haven't yawned yet so I guess I'll be up a little while longer. There is no point in going to bed if I'm not tired - I'll just end up staying awake getting grumpier and grumpier listening to DH snoring. He has to get up for work at 6am so I'll let him snore in peace for a bit longer.

MNHQ have put up a thread on their 25 years worth of Classics.

Most Hilarious read I’ve had in Ages!

Massive congrats on the job!

Love your username @AnneLovesGilbert - was talking to my DD about it today and how sad I was when the original Gilbert Blythe passed away

congrats on new job @burntoutnurse :)

I’ve just come to bed, can’t sleep, scrolling mumsnet and now want to watch Good Wife or Anne of Green Gables!
