I have slept a lot better recently, although I still have a restless night at least once a week. It's not an over active mind that keeps me awake, but I just feel really restless, until about 3am and then I could sleep indefinitely at 6am!!

My problem with sleep is always an overactive mind. I wake up and immediately I am deep in thought and try as I might I cannot switch off and get back to sleep. The doctor gave me sleeping pills and they were as much good as a chocolate teapot :-(

Have you tried writing down all your thoughts before you go to bed. It is supposed to clear your mind, but I haven't tried it!! I'm too tired to bother doing a list!! :-D

I would fill and A4 pad :-D :-D :-D. I have tried loads of diffetrnet things but nothing works . Actually saying that I did find Yoga helped for a while but then I reverted back to the sleepless nights

A few lotus positions for you before bedtime then, LG!! :-D :-D And then block and tackle to get you out of it, so your OH had better be on standby :-D :-D

I'm off now for a bath and bed :-)

I hope you have a good day tomorrow and sleep well tonight <3 <3

Morning all - hope your shoulder isn't too sore today YG. Don't miss the mammogram - see if you can alter the appointment. Think of the heartache your collegue went through.

Homes under the hammer featured a bunglaow in Crook Village today. It looks a nice little place to live, but they do usually show the best side!

Only about 8 weeks until Paula jets off to warmer climes - hang in there until OH retires then you can have as many holidays as you want.

Would you believe it, OH was out of bed by the time I got back. Wonders will never cease! :-D Once he's got him self into gear we'll potter off to the shops.

Morning one and all :-D. Hoping you have a good day whatever you are doing

Good morning everone its a dull and murky day hete. Just having a mid day break, a few chores to be done, then at keep-fit, and out to dinner this evening OHs choice so it will probably be a curry. DET we are on count down for next holiday in May, and just booked another holiday for September. YG hope all goes well with the mammogram. LG I practise Yoga everyday, and I am like you if I wake up,but I try and follow Yoga relaxatiion if I can not go back off to sleep. I think you can buy some relaxation tapes, and understand they are very good. Have a good day everyone. :-D

good day all
i have just caught up with posts I have a lounge ,to sit in though there is a little bit to do in here ,I have cleaned the windows and got the curtains up which feels much better .Froggy has been over today so we have had a light lunch together here and looked where to put some of the gear I have and also what to chuck out also .that wont happen until my weekend off next weekend .but it is a start
I hope the shoulder is better today and will ease with time not pleasant at all .
Lg sounds as if you are getting sorted out but i suppose extra bodies in the house creates a new routine .and also the cats too what fun four lol .
DET hope the shoppin was ok i buy lunch now then bring it here as we have a discount store nearby of german origin and they make lovely things

Evening all.

The shoulder is good, thank you to everyone for asking. Much better than I was anticipating, but still resting it well and haven't near a paint brush! :-D

Mammogram cancelled for now, I'm afraid. There is just too much going on for me to cope with anything else at the moment.

I have been busy wrapping gifts for my friend at work who leaves on Friday. Everyone else finishes next Friday, My friend has a week's holiday booked next Monday so they have finally told her she can go this week as long as her handovers are completed. Very considerate of them!

We are going for lunch tomorrow, just the two of us, then everyone is surprising her on Friday so we have an extended 2hr lunch then! I have to confess that tears were streaming down my face while I was wrapping her presents, so it is going be a very difficult couple of days. She is really emotional as well :-( :-(

Awww bless you YG. Here have my shoulder to cyber cry on <3.
I do wish my house would get back in order Maz . I am surrounded by fur :-0. H's half siamese and half Bengal has taken up laying on the arm of the sofa next to me. My tow are on seperate chairs just a few feet away and H's Abysinnian is stretched out full length on my bed, Cheek !!! :-D.

Lucky Paula I could do with a holiday right now :-(

Your finger has got the shakes, LG!! Has one of the cats jumped on you :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D YG no not that easy I have been getting error messages again and double postings :-| :-| :-|. Mind you it may well have happened while I was laughing. The one on the sofa arm decided to chase his tail and fell headlong into the bin :-D :-D :-D :-D. I think he has gone off me for laughing at him as he has now mooched off somewhere

I get an error message every time I post, LG. I just click on the back arrow and you don't get a double posting then.

The cat must be well hacked off with you laughing at him, but I bet it was a sight for sore eyes :-D :-D

It was hilarious, well to me anyway ;-). He has just skulked off out of the cat flap. I tried the back button and it does not always work for me.

My delightful fur has just scoffed a dish of dinner and brought it back up on the lounge carpet. He is in the doghouse :-( :-(

Oh dear, my lovely Black creature does that a lot. She is always washing,getting fur balls and throwing up :-|. The vet has recommended several remidies to stop it to no avail so I have just given up.

He's as perky as can be now, the little tinker :-D :-D

That's more than can be said about me right now!!

I'm off to bed, ready for another early start tomorrow morning :-P :-P

Sleep well, LG and I hope tomorrow is kind to you <3 <3

Mine always looks like she is smirking while I clean it up :-|. Nite nite YG sleep well.Catch you tomorrow I hope. <3

morning all i get an error message every time i post too and my back button does work ,
YG it will be a tough time at work for a while now wont it ? hope you manage to keep in touch though
my fur is a mans cat she is a right madam with them lol she saunters up to them and sits down almost as if she sticks her chest out at them . I was thinking about getting another cat but she seems much happier now and loves the attention
she has been on the wet painted banister and then on to a window sill so we have bespoke white paw prints on the red tiled windowsills lol
I am going to do some errands today as the painter is here so will keep out of his way he is doing te kitchen and downstairs loo today .
