Was considering drifting off - now an owl has started up. Feels like it's right outside my window. There are foxes screeching in the distance too. Even the dog has lifted her head. All I need now is the bloody cat to come clattering through the cat flap.

Awake here! In hosp with my 9 year old waiting for them to morphine her so we can both get some sleep.

slapmyarseandcallmemary · 28/04/2019 01:51

@flyingfish2019 yes, both been checked. They gave me piriton but it made me quite unwell, so I've just been left to it 🙄

Flyingfish2019 · 28/04/2019 01:55

@Horses: Why is your girl on morphine?

Me, but only because it's 6pm.

costacoffeecup · 28/04/2019 01:58

Yes, four year old cane through saying she'd lost her fluffy and then three month old did epic puke so holding him now while he tries to go back to sleep and praying it's not a bug!

Watching the rock on doorstep thread is keeping me awake...

alilstressed · 28/04/2019 01:59

I'm alternating between watching The Purge and releasing my bowels. Feeling rough.

Flyingfish2019 · 28/04/2019 01:59

Me.

RainbowMum11 · 28/04/2019 02:01

I'm awake, I've become a bit nocturnal since my depression took hold.
Shattered but can't sleep at night.

Flyingfish2019 · 28/04/2019 02:01

Autocorrect knows more words than me.

I’m up, DH woke me up with his snoring at 12.30 and I can’t get back to sleep 😡 he refuses to even see if there’s treatment and it’s driving me crazy

Madmadammim1 · 28/04/2019 02:03

@Amproperlyin I'm so sorry for what your going through. Flowers

Flyingfish2019 · 28/04/2019 02:03

@Rainbowmum: There is antidepressants that help you sleep at night too. Sorry for dishing out medical advice in this thread several times,
I am not a doctor but I know quite a few people who tried antidepressants for sleeping and where very happy with the results. Depends of course on how bad your depression/insomnia is.

Me. Up with painsomnia. @Justaboutawake, is the new Dynasty good? I need something a bit trashy and entertaining to watch that won’t make me emotional at all (if I cry, I can’t breathe right now). If anyone else has trashy/entertaining recommendations that don’t make you cry, let me know!

Flyingfish2019 · 28/04/2019 02:06

@Soov: could earplugs be a solution. I do not like them because I want to know what my kids are doing, but some people like them. I think I will use them when the kids are older, dh sometimes wakes up screaming.

@flyingfish2019 She has lots of health problems (connective tissue disease) but current issue is terrible abdo pain. They are trying to keep her comfortable until at least one of her specialists is in. She wasn’t admitted at a good time to fit with medicine schedules, it would seem, and the nasal diamorphine has worn off.

Justaboutawake · 28/04/2019 02:07

I’d completely recommend it for it’s trashy/unrealistic/light hearted watching. Certainly passes the time

80sMum · 28/04/2019 02:07

My film's just ended, so I am off to bed to see if I can sleep. Goodnight all.

Justaboutawake · 28/04/2019 02:07

No crying unless chucking at the ridiculousness

Flyingfish2019 · 28/04/2019 02:08

@Rightyesbutno: Maybe grandhotel. It has been compared to Downton Abbey... it is not really like that... only same time of History and also a woman’s movie... but I think it is entertaining while not acted well enough to make you cry.

Sorry to hear that Horses.

I’m awake waiting for the fecking cats to come in. They’re usually in by 10 but one seems to be pulling an all-nighter (probably at his second home) and the other one, the mouser, has just escaped.

He always brings back the most adorable little vermin when he goes out late, so I just know I’ll be chasing him around trying to save the poor little bastard when he gets home.

I really want to go to bed but I can’t stand the thought of a mouse being let loose or worse, smeared all over the carpet.

effiesgoldwig · 28/04/2019 02:09

I'm up. Just back from taking DB to a&e with a suspected broken arm. Now home and all the caffeine I had to make me safe to drive home has kicked in. DB is ok just sore and grumpy.
