    Froddy - when you wake up at 2am tell the wake-up vibes to sod off and come and find me... the same at 3am etc... eventually enough of them will arrive that they'll wake me up at 6!!

    It's worth a try... it might just work ;)

    Must find my list in a minute, then go to bed.

    I'm going to leave the bed until the weekend, but as I have the day off tomorrow, I'll try to get Monday finished and do as much as Tuesday as possible.

    I also need to:
    • call bank & cake place (they haven't replied to my email!); possibly go into building society (depending on discussion with bank)
    • buy 4 bricks to prop up old utility sink to plant herbs in
    • buy tomatoes/salad stuff and tofu for lunches
    • sort out paperwork
    • clear ironing
    • sort laundry and do some washing if I can make up a full load!
    Off to have a bath. I'll be back later as I'll be making my hot water bottles...

    ETA - Toots... as far as I'm concerned if I'm not giving in on Sundays I'm going to count them! And I update at the end of the day (seeing as I often don't get on here in the morning...). I promise that if I give in sometime between posting and midnight I'll correct it!

    All these people that can't sleep can they send some wake-up vibes to me please, I have no trouble sleeping, in fact I could sleep for 24 hours if I didn't wake up.. Yet there are some days when I can stay awake for 36 hours because I just can't sleep..hmm!!

    Oooh I just had another thought, yep I am full of them at the moment. What are we going to call each other on Saturday, I mean we can't call Soappie Soappie, if you know what I mean..

    Edited to add decluttered a cherry pie and custard, washed up and quick tidy round the living room. Now off to bed..Night night x
