im now trying to name my triplet if I just had them.its lots harder than I thougt!

HollySwift · 22/12/2018 03:42

Me! DH has come home more pissed than I have ever seen him. He’s been sick in the bed and, best of all, pissed in it. Not done that before. He definitely won’t be doing it again. So here I am, on the cold sofa, lamenting the fact that I don’t have a fucking patio.

DixieFlatline healthcare?

icklekid · 22/12/2018 03:43

Morning. Wide awake. Had very unsettled night. I've got totally blocked sinuses and in a world of pain yesterday. as a treat DH got takeaway pizza. The fatty food does not agree with my stomach so now got awful pains. My parents are coming up today...joy. I will look half asleep!

kateandme · 22/12/2018 03:44

HollySwift think someone needs to build you a patio tomorrow!

kateandme · 22/12/2018 03:47

icklekid they are there to see you they wont mind surely.
try gently massaging your tummy in little circles.up one side.then the next.down again.then down the middle and up.

HollySwift · 22/12/2018 03:48

He can fucking do it, kate with his cold, dead bare hands. DC were ‘challenging’ this evening too, as always when he’s out Hmm He’s also bought me fuck all yet, and is supposed to be going shopping tomorrow. I suspect he’ll be dying. Yay!

[This is very out of character and he’s not usually this much of a selfish cunt. He will be mortified, and pay for it tomorrow].

GentlyGentlyOhDear · 22/12/2018 03:51

I'm awake too - toddler had a night terror about spiders crawling all over him so have just calmed the hysteria, now my anxious pre-Christmas mind is in overdrive and I'm panicking I've taken paracetamol an hour too early and googling 'accidental overdose' Confused

Hope everyone gets back to sleep soon

TheRealHousewifeofCheshire · 22/12/2018 03:52

Ouch. Recently had one. Theyre awful especially wheb you havw children to care for (I just didnt want to be near anyone).

Take care and go to Drs. I ended up in A and E then admitted to hospital. Please dont just dismiss this. X

harrypotterfan1604 · 22/12/2018 03:55

Yep me! 38 weeks pregnant very fat and uncomfortable, constantly needing to pee and I’m full of a cold too 😭 not feeling sorry for myself at all 🙈

MyGuideJools · 22/12/2018 03:58

Flowersfor you OP that sounds painful...I went to bed at 11, woke at 2 feeling sick.
Sucked on a mint and was feeling a bit better when at 3.00 DS, 21 fell through the front door and laid in the hallwayHmm
Apparently he's not drunk, just abit tired from drinking/clubbing since 9.30Confused
He's now gone to bed after sitting on the kitchen floor eating pizza🤮
And I'm still awake, the cat has now joined me on the bed

Punto1 · 22/12/2018 04:03

Hey night owls!
Hope pain recedes for any sufferers.
I was asleep a lot of the day yesterday, went to bed at about 10pm and woke up at 3.30am, so I guess I got a couple of hours.
My Dad always says that an hours sleep before midnight is worth two hours sleeping in, so by that logic I got 7 hours lol. Well, if I delude myself. Hope I don't need to nap during the day today and manage to get a proper full NIGHT of sleep tonight. Trying to retrain myself from being asleep all day and up all night.

DiaryofWimpyMum · 22/12/2018 04:04

Wide awake since 1:00am. So I slept from 11pm to 1am. Me and my youngest ds have the cold so all I can hear is coughing. I'm also struggling to breathe when I lie down.

Cosmicbird · 22/12/2018 04:05

I’m awake. Moving house tomorrow (today!) and can’t switch brain off. Had about 3 hours of v restless sleep and I guess that will have to do!

OP gallbladder pain is so awful you have my sympathy!

Rainatnight · 22/12/2018 04:06

I'm awake because poor DD (2.5) fell out of bed! I was woken up by the crash bang wallop. We're in a holiday rental for Christmas and she's in a proper bed, which she's not used to. (She's in a big cot at home)

She's now fast asleep again, and DP didn't stir (quite deaf). I won't drop off again for aaaages.

Haven't been sleeping brilliantly anyway lately; have a whole other thread about it in fact.

Wow, Chippenden, that's commitment. What's your volunteering role?

Sympathies to everyone in pain. Flowers

orangejuicer · 22/12/2018 04:18

4wk old currently asleep on my chest and I need to pee.

OldPodge · 22/12/2018 04:22

Another one with the cough here, have just felt so ill with it too, all aches and shivery. Got so much left to do, but have only managed short periods out of bed for the last two days and then feel exhausted. Hope some of you are getting some sleep now. Flowers for those in pain.

harrypotterfan1604 · 22/12/2018 04:27

After being awake in bed 2 hours I’ve given up and come downstairs and made a hot milky drink. Now me and the dog (who’s my shadow since becoming pregnant, where I go she’s goes) are sat on the sofa under a blanket keeping warm.
Sorry to hear all you people in pain 😕Flowers x

Godowneasy · 22/12/2018 04:27

Be very wary about just putting up with gall stone related pain. It can become pancreatitis and be life threatening.
I ended up very ill in hospital for 10 days.

UhYeahISureHopeItDoes · 22/12/2018 04:29

Got to sleep at 3.50 and DH came home at 4am pissed up

I'm now on Netflix and trying not to strangle him while he sleeps

Xiaoxiong · 22/12/2018 04:32

Fenella I will join you on the first world problems, we are on an overnight Eurostar ski train stuck in Chambery station for hours thanks to French traffic controller strikes. All the lights in the carriage have been on the whole journey and now added to that the insanely bright platform lights. The kids have had about 2 hours sleep total (both awake and trying desperately to keep them quiet), the chairs are squeaking, the door at the end of the carriage keeps opening every time I move a muscle, DH keeps either sniffing or blowing his nose, and there is someone snoring in front of us.

Thanks to all those in pain or with poorly DCs. Hope you get some rest and relief today!

harrypotterfan1604 · 22/12/2018 04:32

@UhYeahISureHopeItDoes I think as fellow wide awakers if you wanted to smother him we’d all be with you 😂

Floralhousecoat · 22/12/2018 04:44

Hope you all feel better.
I'm awake because I'm heartbroken over a bloody relationship. It's like actual physical pain. Hate it. Last few nights I manage to fall asleep then wake up around 4am feeling shit.

Nonameslob · 22/12/2018 04:46

Another one wide awake here. Made the fatal mistake of having an afternoon sleep as I was having a bad day with fatigue due to Ankylosing Spondylitis. Now I'm full of beans!!

SpeckledyHen · 22/12/2018 04:49

I’m awake but that’s not usual for me as I sleep very badly as a rule . It’s just part of my life .
