melatonin works for me, it is a natural remedy sold in America. As I am going there in a week I can get you some while I am there

It's really annoying that it's not licenced here. Melatonin is the hormone we produce that makes us sleep...I think...

My son used to take it (he was prescribed it by his consultant, to help with Asperger's-related sleep issues) and it worked really well for him. It's years since I researched it but I think many countries consider it perfectly safe, even for children. But our GPs can't prescribe it, grr.

Re Colin and his night hunts for all these creatures invading his home...my furry girl actually tries to get into the laptop or iPad when I play the kitties on YouTube. There is one of two wee kittens meowing to each other and having quite a lovely chat...my girl gets all concerned.

She is currently hoovering up crunchies from the duvet, little tyke. Honestly, some nights my bed is like sleeping on gravel!! Strangely, hubby isn't allowed food in the bedroom.....

Aren't we lucky to share our homes/lives with all these quirky little characters.

Hi Piq sorry that your employers were being such gits about the break room. But how hard can it be for after each period of lunch break, to quickly check to see the state of it, and then haul the people who have just been using it back in there to go tidy up? Or is that too simple?

Love the colin and the owls story, very funny

I used to love having meowing conversations with my dear cat when she was alive. It's made me feel all warm and fuzzy remembering that.

Hope you are having a good day today.

Dropping in on the Melatonin subject !

My DD2 didnt sleep..........ever. In desperation I bought her some special milk, it was from Waitrose , expensive though ,but if I remember rightly it had Melatonin in , the theory being as others have said that it makes you sleep. I think it did work a little bit. It was really hard to get hold of though and I recollect filling trolleys in depseration if I happened to find it ! I have no idea what it was called though x

I *think* you can buy melatonin from US companies and have it shipped here - but you might get clobbered on the import duty - worth a look?

Have just caught up with this diary and it has been fab.

Congratulations on an amazing amount of money paid off.

Cannot bring cows or cats to the party, but can add a dog and some guinea pigs and a lifetime of horses (thankfully mainly mares, having read Caz's highly informative piece), though I don't have any now. I never found a bean though, so apologies to the 2 geldings I have had over the years....

Or I can just buy the melatonin for you in New York since I go there every 6 weeks
