Hippyhills is a good name midwife although we are a little more County Hobbiton at this side.
Not sure I will be awake enough to join the brainfizzingstargazingcodeinpoppingcakeeatingbittykittydad n doc set tonight.

themidwife · 22/04/2013 19:14

well, I have been a total insomniac. I did not sleep one wink last night, bt tried so very hard to. felt awful today! and bumped into my ex boss, of all days to look like a zombie

cafecito · 22/04/2013 22:39

I have killed my laptop and have had a falling out with the ipad mini and its predictive typing mayhem so have not been very good at posting

BUT BUT BUT

a. I bought brogues Confused and don't know what to do with them

b. I DID SOME SURGERY! REAL SURGERY ON REAL PEOPLE AND BEST OF ALL THEY ARE STILL ALIVE! *I think

Minimammoth · 22/04/2013 22:43

Phew thank goodness for that cafe. Is someone walking around with an extra arm or anything.

cafecito · 22/04/2013 22:58

it has been very scary mini! I stupidly forgot that half the degree stands for 'bachelor of surgery' and had rather hoped that surgery would never feature ever ever

BUT it makes me feel special as I swish about the hospital in scrubs, mask, clogs, gowns, a vision of 'I am a super great consultant'

starsandunicorns · 22/04/2013 22:59

Am fed up with being down; let's have a party on Friday night!!!

jynier · 23/04/2013 03:01

~~ scribbling invitations! First one is to AF; she's not on our thread but I like 'er! ~~

jynier · 23/04/2013 04:41

Huh! Just me on my own again!!! I'm not sure that you're all real insomniacs but slightly worried that one of us may be performing surgery! Lol!!!

themidwife · 23/04/2013 06:14

AF is the queen of MN but I think she spends every night snuggled up to her DH! Izzy hasn't been with us for a while!!

Morning all! My new thing is to wake up at 545 no matter how late I go to bed!! Weird eh?!!

Scrubs for pjs at home - we've all done it!! Grin

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 23/04/2013 06:23

Forget the surgery, yell me about your brogues Grin. Much more interesting. I adore brogues. I've got 3 pairs of real vintage ones not yer touristy fashion copies

A pair of brown, men's, size 6, unworn when bought, George Oliver. I'm thinking Ba' mitzvah or public schoolboy or such. They are my favourite.

A pair of mustard, steel toe cap, surveying the estate, lord of the manor types.

A pair of tan, Skerry, kilt tassel, court shoe; very baroness and my newest acquisition Grin

Littlekitty slept from 9-6 without so much as a quack Grin Lovely. But I will send her over by courier on her next sleepless attempt, Mrs. Why were you up?

Well done smallshrek Grin Grin

jynier I think a party is a cracking idea.... littlekitty loves balloons

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 23/04/2013 06:45

I mean, Blimey congrats on the surgery cafe Blush Grin

Minimammoth · 23/04/2013 06:46

Morning. Had some sleep but intermittent. Again dare not fire up MN.
Cafe what surgery are you allowed to do when learning. < checks all bits just in case> you've not been round to Summerdads have you.< checks to see if cafe is wearing tonsils for earrings>
I have to give stationery week some serious thought. I may have to go to big city, to indulge.

starsandunicorns · 23/04/2013 06:58

MrsShrek Harriet is the hoover that sometimes sits far to close to my Tim and Trevor I dont trust her hoaks hills up in judgement Grin

Little Kitty slept yaaahhh

Right off to work today is payslip day if they come I be sorting over 3000

Have a good day Smile

BearsInMotion · 23/04/2013 06:59

Babybear was up at 10:30, 2 and then got up an hour ago, but st least last night I slept in between! But was seriously considering the parcel post offer about 2:30 mrsshrek, maybe tomorrow!

Congrats on the surgery cafe!

Now to decide what to do on my day off with DD. was going to chill out at home but DP has some kind of stomach bug and will be sulking in the bedroom where we normally play...
