    Moggins had personal problems, dropped out for a while then lost access to her old account and rejoined a few years ago. Not seen her for years sadly.

    This drives me mad too. Utterly selfish. Now that he doesnt have to get up and I do I am tempted to do the same but that would be petty. :p:o

    DW emptied and filled. TD on. I need to sort bags for the morning. Very much looking forward to Friday off.

    am running out of ideas for getting DH to the doctors about his snoring - says it doesn't bother him and he'll sleep downstairs......

    Yes it does bother me - I've got bags under my eyes after last night - but it bothers him too - he spends half the evening asleep because he's so tired.....

    QUOTE]

    Are we the same person? DH usually goes to bed before me and by the time I get up there it's like getting into bed with a pneumatic drill. It takes me ages to get to sleep.

    To add insult to injury he gets up earlier but sets his alarm an hour before he has to get up - so he can push the snooze button. Problem being that as he is deaf I have to shove him to get him to do it. Repeat 6 times before he gets up.

    The conclusion of this is that I am always tired and secretly look forward to when DD is at her boyfriends because I can sleep in her room!

    Please keep me informed of your progress;)

    Minimal flying again. The ironing is still not getting done.

    I'm going on a school trip with DS3's class tomorrow so I had better nip to Mr T for some goodies for packed lunch.

    Ah a- a fellow sufferer! OH gets up at 5am - for fun! He sits and watches all sortos of random TV before leaving at 6.30! So I am awake from 5am ( well ish!) He brings me a cup of tea which I usually leave to go stone cold!

    All I want is 8 hours sleep - and I'd probably settle for 7!

    Threats have been issued - I think I may be getting through....

    Hope you have a good day on your trip - going anywhere interesting?

    Decided not to do much flying earlier, it has been my first day off after four long days and I decided I needed a rest...especially as it is my birthday :D we have been for a lovely meal and I am enjoying finally being able to sit in the house at night. Flying will recommence tomorrow.

    Morning All

    Hope you had a great day yesterday aj!

    As far as I know there's nothing on this evening so hopefully I'll manage to get some flying done. Not done a lot so far this week and I was shattered last night and fell asleep before 9 - I still feel tired this morning as well.

    Mrs MP - thanks - I'm ok as long as I don't eat on the LHS of my mouth and nobody touches my jaw that side either!

    I suppose I ought to make a move and do something.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
