What did you wake up to this morning?

[EdinaTheConfessor]

I was woken by my 7 year old crying because his 12 year old brother said he would give him £6 if he licked his feet. Then refused to give him the £6 after the feet were licked.

For the record I have enforced the £6 debt in the hope it will teach the 12 year old not to make stupid bets with his brother. FML.

What nonsense have you woken up to this morning?

My husband’s workday 6.30am alarm going off because he forgot to turn it off

Woke up to 9 year old twins fighting about some absolutely trivial shit. As usual.

I’d love a garden full of ducks!

Eldest once bet the youngest £5 that she wouldn't eat a spoonful of chillies covered in salt and chilli seasoning ... obviously youngest did it because she is absolutely mad , eldest wouldn't pay up because youngest didn't have a big enough reaction to eating said chillies ....made her give her the fiver anyway 😂 a bets a bet

4am and woken up by the Ring Doorbell "There is someone at the front door" (we live down a very long drive so there definitely shouldn't be anyone at the front door at 4am!).
And there was - local security company telling me my burglar alarm alert had contacted them to say there was an intruder on the premises.
There wasn't. The alarm wasn't even on. Obviously something gone wrong that I'll have to sort out pretty rapidly. Then, because he is a family friend going back years (kids went to school together etc) though haven't seen him for ages, got in to a surreal conversation with me hanging out the upstairs window, jammies on, having a chat along the lines of 'how are you? how are the girls? how's the business?' etc etc. Had to be up at six - didn't get back to sleep!

Just a couple of 'usual suspects' spring immediately to my mind for you to go and have a sniff at.

Obviously your consumer unit (fusebox) and meter.

Also, if you have an electric shower, the isolator switch (sometimes a pull cord on the bathroom ceiling, or a big switch on the wall somewhere outside the bathroom) is a very common culprit.

If either of those smells suspect, have them inspected ASAP.

You'll be able to tell if they've been overheating just by having a really close-up sniff.

Parrots swarking outside my bedroom window (not in UK). Very very loud

We’re east coast - lots of ominous-looking clouds, several people looking pleadingly at the sky, but not a bloody drop yet!

My dog on my head. He has no boundaries.

Were you never a child?

I woke just before 6 or mf my own accord. Left DH and ds asleep, went downstairs for a coffee and continued reorganising my kitchen.

I have been thinking about getting a pet, but reading all of these stories of being woken by four legged friends has really put me off!

I really need my sleep and this would not go down well on my bed.

Anyway to answer the question, I was woken by next doors visiting grand children playing noisily in the garden. It was 10 to 10. Very selfish behaviour!

I woke up to a little wet nose 'kissing' my (dry) nose
kitty kisses are the best, then she turned around and put her butt in my face, you can't have everything eh

4.30am kids on the way home decided it would be hilarious to bang on peoples front doors and run away. I escaped it which was a shame as I was waiting by the upstairs window by then with a supersoaker full of water

I awoke to the sound of people screaming in the pool(screams of delight no one came to any harm) at 8am. The pool doesnt open till 10 ffs. My kids slept through it though.

Horny husband.

Another mouth ulcer to add to the 5 i already have.

A bad back. I got up for the loo in the night, stumbled getting onto the loo and managed to gouge my lower back on the flush handle. It really bloody hurts.

Lucky you!

Nice early morning fun 😊

5am in travel lodge Maidstone Central.

Worth it for the skydive out at Headcorn!

You are lucky getting gentle cat kisses to wake you up.

I once woke up very abruptly with a cat claw hooked into my eyelid.

I didn't panic, or make a fuss.

Cats do this sort of thing, and never mean any harm.
She was just trying to wake me up, that's all.

I looked like I had a black eye for a week, but I wasn't bothered.

Cats don't have malicious thoughts or intentions.

She just likes poking me 😽

The sound of my fucking brain fizzing. Landed in Spain at 10pm last night and my eldest son tried to help by getting the cases whilst me and husband got stuck in very seperate passport control queues, husband was first responsible adult on the scene, congratulated sons for getting the cases, I came out to them all buzzing holiday was starting as we're all through safe with the cases, off we rushed to car hire transfer and circus, went to load bags and realised our biggest quite unique case was identical to our quite unique biggest case but wasn't OUR biggest quite unique case. Not the best start to a holiday ngl, slept for about 45 minutes

Little one leaping on me like a flying squirrel and then bouncing off my tummy 😅

Similar, only in my case it was a big ginger cat. Mine I hasten to add!
