can't sleep won't sleep 3

[KittyAndTheFontanelles]

over hear night owls . Unless we are somewhere else

Yep neurophys is just a question of ion channels opening... and closing... and Calcium and synapses and vesicles and stuff like that

Ach?

Didn't make it clear in my post of 1:22; there were about 25 youths in our garden plus the most ferocious, evil dog. The druggie girl next door had told them that they could all camp here.

Lily wasn't having any of that and, seriously, folks, had to stop her from confronting them all! Fortunately, another neighbour called the police about boy racers in our lane and everybody left!

The girl was eventually evicted and we are back to peace and quiet now.

oh wow that must have been pretty frightening. it's bad that we are scared of intervention but it's the only sensible way to be. glad to hear there is peace and quiet now in camberwick (and that the salt is definitely salt)

cafe - just watched your "excellent singing" recommendation!

and survived it jynier

it's pretty catchy though... (not me, honest!)

does anyone clever know how I can singlehandedly put up curtain poles some are arriving before 9am! eeeks.. one long one and one normal sized. I am neither long nor normal sized (doubt could reach even if standing ona chair on tiptoes, wine bottles, books)

I would rather not go all girly and pay a handyman to do it ifI could do it myself no relevant competent friends with tools to help. sigh.

Do you have a spirit level and a drill? Curtain poles are fairly easy but it will drive you mad if they're not straight! I think that my son lives near you. He'll help (for free) if you get stuck! Good luck!

Seem to be the only person on here; fellow insomniacs have failed me! Can't even seen anything in the night sky; too cloudy!

I'm wasting time with online personality test courtesy of chat...I'm an INTP apparently. Weirdly it rings true. No good in the caring professions

no spirit level but thank you jynier that is very thoughtful and kind. I think it may be academic as the company, going from emails, appear to have stuffed up my order. Drat. Was hoping to have some curtains up! Like a normal person etc..

I'm awake now, jynier. DS has just come in and refused to go back to bed because his bedroom has been naughty. I have had to tell off a quarter of my upstairs floor and threaten it with no Cbeebies (DS's idea of hell).

Loving our nite delivery crew, kitty! Can I also make drink the pangalactic gargleblasters from my calm, composed position? Must be all the yoga I'm doing that's keeping me calm.

Lily sounds like my granny - aged 92, she still terrifies everyone and doesn't back off from what she thinks is right. Think Lady Grantham from Downton Abbey, with attitude. And bus stops are v exciting when you live in Camberwick Green!

Is that a Myers-Briggs one, cafe? I can't remember what all the letters stand for.

I did a careers test once. It told me I wasn't caring enough to be a lawyer. I haven't stopped laughing at that one yet.

Gordon Bennett! You're all too brainy for me! Had no idea what the medical/technical stuff meant!

Bluey - Aaw at DS!!!

Lily is a proper East Ender with a heart of gold! Sometimes wonder what would have happened if she had swept out into the garden to deal with the undesirable youths and the horrible dog? She would probably have sorted the situation; thought it was too dangerous for her to take the risk!

I haven't a clue either, jynier, don't worry!

I am an insomniac, just don't want to spoil your jolly thread with my usual crap

There is both usual and unusual crap all over these threads, knackered. Come and share, it may help. Then join in the madness!

Seriously, what's keeping you up?

Moring all gor you were a busy lot last night just woke up dp by laughing.

Kitty love the team welcome knacked

Jynier a bustop have livrd in a town that for six months the headline nees of local rag eas that they were getting a Argos and lily sounds fab dps mum has a set of walking sticks which she has hit dp with reason he didnt get a haircut for ages ( he had a 80's flick )

Loves cafe way of biology now have images of cafe singing the bone song in exams also curtains are dead easy to.put up

Bluey has the floor being grounded

Anyway off to work have a fab morning

Waves to all

P.s dp passed the mot though may need to do it again just to make sure

My sides are aching with the delivery team, we could all become brain surgeons too with Cafe's tuition. Easy peasy, I reckon. Our local rag is like that stars. ' man crosses the road' type headlines.
I have just apparently burned out DHs brain trying to discuss hmrc's new system with our morning cuppa. He has staggered off in a bewildered fog. Your neighbour sounds fab Jynier, we have a similar character nearby, war injuries ( one arm) and riding his bike down the middle of the road to get to his allotment.

Morning all - you're mad I tell you - mad!!

Lovin Kitty's delivery team although I must insist it's a Homebirth - I don't like hospitals!

Cafe - there's that really really terrifying vessel in the brain I think of every time I see a set of forceps - the Circle of Willis! Or a Tentorial tear anyone?! Yikes! Proceed with caution!!

I think your neighbour sounds ace Jynier - in think of that poem about wearing purple!!

I think you've all scared Dad you norty girls!!

stars did you sleep well after all the erm mot and servicing?

cafe I did that MB quiz too, years since I did it. INTJ (= pedant) but I do agree with whoever said that the "i" refers more to being self reliant than antisocial.
and yes, the stuff I am doing has far more to do with neurons, neurotransmitters and lang centre deelopment than anything clever. lots of pictures and diagrams for the hard-of-thinking

midwife... hates hospitals... pmsl (unfortunate career choice?)

jynier, when was all that commotion? You should have sent for PC McGarry

ps how are bluey's feet and chemocrawlies doing? abating yet?

and mini...just pmsl at trainee brain surgeons. wiith someone who doesnt recognise a leg when she sees it

Oh definitely home birth. As long as you brush up on your pre-eclampsia as I nearly had a stroke having littlekitty. But I know I'll be in capable hands with the team as long as themidwife wears her cape

So homebirth requires a slight change in roles for some;

dad will be sous chef to my husband who will cook up an extravaganza in the kitchen

bluey's calming soliloquy will be practically inaudible due to her stuffing her face with post-chemo-littlekittydaddy-made delights.

Mrs' littlekitty duties will involve bouncing on the mummydaddy bed, running from living room to dining room and back again, cooking with the hide-and-squeak eggs, taking out all DVDs and pointing at the people's faces depicted on the covers, taking clean, wet washing from the maiden to her bedroom and hiding it under her cot and in her nappy bin etc.

Everyone else, as you were

Cafe is having us all on, she's an uber doctor really
