It's late.

I'm listening to "Modern Love" on repeat, my excuse.

Poverty,

You are doomed.

2.40pm and 73' here. Good luck to all with newborns, non-sleeping little ones and sickness.

You are doomed gee thanks. 😒 😋

😆 I'm beginning to think that. I even started a thread, in my desperation. That's how confused I am. At this rate I'll still be trying to pick a hotel, in the taxi to the airport. How do people make their minds up? Can you tell I'm not well traveled? 😊😁

NoLoveofMine · 11/11/2017 03:51

Poverty get there, go to the pub, drink, decide hotel later.

I'm pregnant, I wake up to go for a wee then need lip balm or something then end up on the ipad...

I like your thinking. If I drink enough it won't matter where I sleep. I believe there's a couple of nice parks. I'm sure I'll find a bench.

Another crappy menopausal headache coupled with finding out that a dear friend is in a hospice 😔

NoLoveofMine · 11/11/2017 04:00

DD2 (17) woke me up to tell me she has been and still feels sick! Hope its not a bug the rest of us catch. No work for her tomorrow and she is like me, hates letting people down! I now can't sleep!

NoLoveofMine · 11/11/2017 04:22

Hope your daughter is alright! I am the same age as her and I salute her work ethic!

Pregnancy insomnia. Currently have his butt under my ribs. He seems to be twerking from the feel of it. Maybe it's the rain sounds he likes. He always seems more active when it's raining.

Rollmopsrule · 11/11/2017 04:23

I drank some red wine last night and now I've got the runs Blush
I love the stuff but really shouldnt drink it. Even one glass makes me feel terrible later on. I did find one that doesn't have that effect but I can't remember what it was called!

Paperplain · 11/11/2017 04:28

I'm having a glass of wine by my pool, it's mid afternoon in Sydney.

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 11/11/2017 04:31

Awake with indigestion! And too much wine thirst.

Hazandduck · 11/11/2017 04:34

39+5 weeks pregnant and woken up for my 4am wee, can’t get back to sleep (happens most nights) so watching IT Crowd in bed groaning at my achy back, sciatic nerve pain, general enormity...poor DH is rubbing my back with his eyes closed. Cat is awake with me watching the rain on the window :)

Charolais · 11/11/2017 04:59

It is only 8:59 pm on the Pacific coast.

Highpeak · 11/11/2017 05:04

2nd night feed (is it a night feed if it's still dark?) , we usually only do one but baby, 4 months, has a cold and is more wakeful. She can't have any more calpol yet. I also am full of a cold and am feeling rubbish. DH is snoring away, bastard.

Lana1234 · 11/11/2017 05:09

10 week old baby. 2nd night feed also! Grin

CreepyPasta · 11/11/2017 05:09

3 year old snoring next to me and cat attacking my toes

ladybirdsaredotty · 11/11/2017 05:14

3 weeks old baby! Brew to everyone else with a newborn! And to those with pregnancy insomnia...sympathies. So frustrating Cake

Regular insomnia and disrupted circadian rythems stemming from multiple autoimmune diseases. I awake this morning because I am in pain and I forgot to take enough pain relief before bed, it was still in my medication doset box this morning. Sadly my memory is also crap. Kids will be up soon so at least it gives DP a proper lie in, even if I am so sore I can't do bugger all today.

My 8 month old son woke at 4.30 crying, gave him some milk, he's now wanting to go back to sleep and grumbling for his dummy. When u give it to him, he then starts playing it so it falls, give it to him again, rinse repeat. He's also really fidgety and keeps pulling my top and whacking me in the face Hmm we all need to be up in an hour as we are going out for the day.
