So who's up about and sober cos she can't handle the booze?

10 years ago I'd be lying in bed till at least lunchtime dying of a hangover, dry mouth etc etc.

fast forward to now, 2 kids and I'm up at 8, no hangover, washing on etc etc. one glass of wine almost kills me.......

does this mean I've grown up or just become a boring old fart?

same here

stayed up watching lord of the rings to keep us awake, got to the countdown on bbc1, dh kept saying excitidly, 5 mins to go til 2006, i kept thinking, 5 mins to go til i can go to bed (but i did have a migraine )

Should have been. Eyes are very dry and ithcy, bad headache and dodgy stomach. Will be in bed at the same time as the kids tonight.....

Had 2 glasses of wine, struggled to stay awake 'til 12 (I was clock-watching too, lucykate), then went to bed Dh opened another bottle of wine and drank most of it so when ds2 boinged into our room at 10 to 7 he just groaned and pulled the duvet over his head. He's only just surfaced and he is really in the doghouse as it was my turn for a lie-in! So, since 7, I've done 2 loads of washing and drying, emptied the dishwasher, given the kids their breakfast, tidied up the kitchen and looked at garden sheds online. So, thus far, 2006 seems pretty much the same as 2005!

went to a roving paerty with 4 other couples and kids in tow. drank a fair amount but paced myslef andwe ate.

Got to bed at 4.30. Kids said they wanted to sleep all day. Bless them, fwe all walked home, the kids dragging their feet and moaning.
