    You're very restrained in your request for time GQ. I'm thinking I need about an extra 24 each day. My sleep stats are down from just over 4 hours to under 3 hrs 45 mins.

    :D You have sleep stats?!

    Worked until 3 pm, then wended home via about 20 mins at friend's shop. In, change clothes, get pushbike out, pedal 1.25 miles to lottie.

    Ten minutes on lottie; water cold frame, pull radishes, harvest some of the feral chard mountain. Tear hair out over rampant grass and weeds. Go home via a supermarket. Back in block, bike away, indoors, saladings into jugs of water. sausages in freezer bar one pack. Put kettle and pooter on, put beetroots into pan on stove, grill sausages and steam h.g. leeks.

    Friend and neighbour SuperGran drops in unannounced just as am about to eat, so eat whilst chatting. SG leaves, parents call, work on cutting up rug lengths of yarn whilst on the phone. Call ends, wash dishes, wash grill pan, skin hot beetroot (ow!) wash beet pan, wash rest of dishes, sit down to check on MSE and wish for another 4 hours.

    Gordon Bennett, I have plenty of things to do and I'm a child and pet free woman with a part-time job. Gawd knows how the rest of you manage to get through your days!:rotfl:

    Triker Your poor husband, what a shock! So glad he is (relatively) ok. Wishing him a full and speedy recovery.

    Silvasava What a lovely weekend :)

    greenbee I won't say you're not getting enough sleep because you know that already!

    I have a fitbit GQ. It means I can't be in denial about my poor sleeping habits anymore.

    Crumbs - I get grumpy if I have under 7 hours!! Preferably I'd have 8, but these light mornings waken me...

    No Kondoing here - tho someone yesterday asked what sparked this clear out. it was a bloke, so i didn't go the full KONDO on him.

    i did say that i hadn't regretted a single thing i've got rid of.

    In other news, my perpetually scruffy OH has bought new clothes.:T This will demonstrate how awful his others were - the trick will be getting him to part with them. there's only so many painting clothes a body needs.
    I wanna be in the room where it happens

    :( Perhaps we should swop homes - my student neighbours (two more weeks and the barstewards will be gone) don't like me getting more than 4 hours shut-eye.

    Hope you manage to get better rest soon, sleep dep is miserable.

    I've told you GQ, you are welcome to visit ANY time. There's a house to sort out, and a whole garden in need of creating. The only thing likely to wake you is the birds, who get a bit shouty at around 4.30am at the moment.
