So is mine! Kids out for the count too. I guess I should just lay back and try to sleep 😆

Highnone · 08/05/2023 04:06

I’ve got up in the end. Look out of the window, cup of tea

I am. I have some kind of stomach bug and cannot stop running to the toilet 😔

Mamabearprotectinghercub · 08/05/2023 04:10

Me! Bad head and bad scratchy throat has kept me up most the night.

CampfireZen · 08/05/2023 04:11

Me.

Neighbours took full advantage of Bank Holiday Weekend carousing.

Still going strong.

A capella murdering of Meatloaf's back catalogue past 30 minutes.

Kill me, now.

@Mamabearprotectinghercub @Snugglemonkey
That's rough. Hope you feel better asap x

verdantverdure · 08/05/2023 04:15

Me. I don’t even know why I can’t sleep. I yawn a bit but then can’t settle. Off to put the kettle on.

Newmumma83 · 08/05/2023 04:16

@campfirezen if you can’t beat them join them?

I am up too … cold also keeping me up in bed with child and cats ( husband asleep in child’s room ) I have the smallest corner of the bed … but I did sneak down to make a cuppa and tomorrow is a bank holiday so I plan on napping … all is not lost 😀

Waggytail · 08/05/2023 04:17

Meeeee. Baby is having a feed and taking their sweet time 😴

Bone11 · 08/05/2023 04:23

I've been awake for an hour and a half. I'm exhausted and can't sleep. My eyes feel sunken and hollow.

febbabies2023 · 08/05/2023 04:27

Me too! Just fed the baby now she's wiggling around in her next to me. DP snoring his head off 😴

17C East Midlands at 4AM. Fans are on. Greta dictates the weather.

Theloftmonster · 08/05/2023 04:30

I'm in bed with a wriggling granddaughter. Not easy to sleep

goldenlocks · 08/05/2023 04:36

I can't sleep as I had a pleasant 3rd late last night but at the wnd of the long and enjoyable day he gave the "I'm not sure what I want" speech and it's left me confused and upset. I don't think I have a choice but to just tell him to jog on?!?! He claims he is just very honest, and was sharing thoughts. Bit of an intellectual but in that case he knew the impact it would have on me, right?!

Tarkan · 08/05/2023 04:37

Me! I'm a copyeditor and I find working during the day has too many distractions so I actually work a lot better at this time, plus I was watching the footy and F1 earlier.

I'm currently rejoicing in the use of a good em-dash. It's my favourite punctuation mark nowadays. Blush

Thank you!

Icequeen01 · 08/05/2023 04:41

Me too. Just been awoken by the dreaded sound of my cat sliding around on the wooden floor in my hall. This means he's brought something live in! Just rushed downstairs flapping my arms around like a mad woman and he's shot out the catflap taking the poor creature with him.

I'm now wide awake and DH is snoring like a steam train 😡

ColdBrewInSummer · 08/05/2023 04:44

I’m up! I’m not in the U.K., it’s 11.45pm here. I just finished watching Firefly Lane on Netflix and have been in floods of tears. Horrifically sad!

Trying to cheer myself up a little so I sleep tonight!

Newmumma83 · 08/05/2023 04:45

@goldenlocks oh hun, I have been there , what really got to me is how he could sleep like a baby after saying such things .
He too was being honest, hurt really badly .
got loads of beautiful sunset photos on long walks from that time though .
still with him turned out he wanted me just was making sure and was at a cross road but what a time.
gut churning:- what do you want?

tumpymummy · 08/05/2023 04:45

I'm here! Can't sleep, stressed. Haven't slept properly for last 3 nights. DD18 is away, travelling around South East Asia and it's stressing me out. Initially I was excited for her but recently she has managed to lose 2 mobile phones, and she's riding motor bikes. Plus her travelling friend has been in hospital. Right now Asia feels a long way away.

goldenlocks · 08/05/2023 05:19

@Newmumma83 aww thank you for replying. And sweet that you are still together! Nice to know there is hope out there 😍

I am confused - do I tell him to jog on or take a chance but potentially get taken for a ride. The risk of heartache after a few months when I have had more time to get attached doesn't sound appealing. I don't want to risk cutting my nose off to spite my face as I may as well have a nice summer...?

goldenlocks · 08/05/2023 05:21

Aww @tumpymummy I am sure she is having lots of fun adventures. How often is she in contact?

Newmumma83 · 08/05/2023 07:22

@goldenlocks Have a summer of fun, tell him to crack on and figure it out, and when he figures it out to let you know, but no guarantees you will be available if he decides he does want to be with you.

guess your on a break Ross and Rachel style?

to be fair that’s kinda what I did just didn’t go for any guys, after the first couple of months of crying and drinking and feeling shit I moved out and put me first … we dated again … I took off my engagement rings … made me realise how much I put his needs ahead of mine … it was enlightening but also heart breaking time

he too didn’t understand why I was so upset, he was so detached emotionally, and could not grasp why on earth I was upset the man I deeply loved wasn’t sure if he was in love with me or if I was just a routine / best friend - commitment freak out I think in the end. - keep
moving forward and he will have to catch up to you if he realises your worth in time x
