Pay Off Before Lay Off!

I like your comment that you need early nights - yet you're up past 10pm! After 10 is a LATE one for me!

:wave:

I know A*M, sometimes I can hit the hay early and just sleep all through, other times sleep just won't happen. This is part of what the seizure meds are for because (mostly) the seizures have been whilst sleeping. It's been medically proven that my brain just doesn't switch off and give me "down time" even at night, although Mr. Hbbb says he already knew that. Can't think how *she says, drumming fingers, tapping feet and looking for the next thing to get on with*

We were both in bed and asleep by about 8.30 pm on Weds though, but I'd appreciate a bit more of your early night sleepy dust if you wouldn't mind popping some across?

Ah, but what time do you get in from work, and what time do you have to leave in the morning?

When I was growing up, my dad was never home from work until after 7:00, so we ate at 7:30 and then would enjoy some evening together before reasonably late bedtimes for our ages. The grown-ups certainly never went to bed before 11:00. Mornings were later than other people's too - although my mum had to leave at 8:00, sometimes my dad had to leave for work at 8:30, but often it was later, and we lived so close to my school that I could set off any time between 8:30 and 8:55 and still be in plenty of time.

Other families have different timing. I remember the first time I went to stay with X's family and they had their evening meal at 5:00. I couldn't imagine how I was going to last until breakfast without further food! (It turned out there was a bit of a snack just before bed. Phew!)

:wave:

True Lois ... tis all relative!

The clock change next weekend will of course change things a little for a short while - it's so much easier to get up on these lighter mornings!

We start our day at 5.45, 5.30 if DS gets us up.
Definitely country hours.

:wave: ... followed by absent yawning smilie!

I remember those days well, my last baby (now 24) didn't sleep for the first 6 years, I was familiar with the dawn like a true country girl then!

Do you welcome the clock change Alchemilla?

Always a pony girl, but I am too damn fat to ride.

I am so excited about the clocks going forward. And it wasnt properly dark til seven today.

Does it make a difference to you?

Yes, I can't wait for it to happen too. It's just so much more energising and makes you feel that you get more of a day, when it's lighter in the evening!

You can walk the dogs off the lead in the bigger local park after 6pm too, so it means we can vary their walking a bit and I get to walk with Mr Hbbb in the evenings rather than rushing about with the dogs to the little park at lunchtimes! Yes, bring it on!

Course, eventually it means getting up at silly o'clock to give the hens their breakfast because they like to get up with the dawn! But it's a small price to pay!

Thanks Tilly for your support with the whole kitten vs tin opener debate ... I'm glad to have an ally in my camp about the kitty, although as Mr. Hbbb rightly pointed out, my shiny new tin opener poses no threat to my friendly robins and blackbirds (unless I become even more clumsy than I am already and / or take to opening tins in the great outdoors of the garden)

I'd sooner have a tin opener .

Hope you have a god night too!

So, funny old day! News in brief as now very tired:

MFW actions: NSD as planned! :T

Grey clouds:

* Mr Hbbb still poorly sick and in bed all day today but has conceded to taking tomorrow off sick and staying in bed to rest up properly for a change!

* I worked most of the day, so not much rest or time together.

Silver linings: Glad Mr Hbbb is actually going to do the right thing - last time he had a day in bed sick was 6 years ago!

Think Alice, my freeloading hen is laying again!

Daily Declutter: 3 items sold on Ebay but due to work and nursing Mr. Hbbb I don't think I'll get to take advantage of the free listing this weekend - need to get to bed now, not relist clutter! Totals still the same until parcels leave the house: 86 / 365.

Simple pleasures:

Am devising a few goals for April (in the manner of Muddy White Chicken, if that's OK with you MWC) as I feel this year's running away with me and I'm just not getting on top of the things I need to (MFW and declutter attempts aside, of course). So, we'll see for April!

Hope everyone's OK and rested from the weekend X
