Here we can all be heard for a little while. Part 3

I often wake myself up sleep talking. FOH was worse than me, couldn't shut him up. I was sharing a room with my sister on holiday a few years ago and kept waking her up by shouting about wasps. I slept through the whole thing but she was freaked out all night thinking a swarm was going to attack her :rotfl:

WaS great idea but we have to give someone a lift. thankfully they won't be any problem.

As far as I know I don't sleep talk, or sleep walk. The list of people I've shared a bed with is short, but none ever commented on me doing those things!

I'm waiting for BT, who left a had-written note through my door yesterday saying they were coming round to replace the wire from the pole to my house this morning. I've been trying to get a very long standing problem with my broadband fixed for months this time around, and gave up a couple of years ago after five engineer visits as I ran out of holiday. Needless to say if they say (after much pressure and threats of legal action from my ISP against BT Wholesale) they are at last going to do the thing that should fix it, I got straight on the phone to my employer's mobile to tell him I needed to wait in. No trivialities like giving a bit of notice or putting it on the holiday board :rotfl: .

I sleep walk and talk but don't do either very often. I only tend to do either when I'm really stressed about something and it confuses IzHe as apparently my sleep conversations are sometimes more sensible than my awake ones...

Ono - can you work from home while you're waiting for people or does the fact that it's a broadband issue make that impossible?
Good luck with finally getting it all sorted.

D has night terrors. At the time he has them, in his mind the snakes and spiders he sees are so real. He's either frozen to the spot or is jumping on the bed, looking under the covers and shining a torch around. I go up later them him, and have to be so quite as he's such a light sleeper. The amount of times he's been like "Georgie! Put the light on, quick, there's something under the bed!" Before I understood them, I found it funny, but now I see the terror in his face.

Well, he weather report was spot on. From two days of lovely warm sunny weather to absolutely bucketing down.

Got to take my Mam to the second funeral of the week today. It's her cousins, and yesterday was a close friends. Nothing like a funeral to get you feeling all down and reflective and to set you off thinking about sad things. Makes you realise how short life is and how things just flash by.

(((( Georgie ))))

I know today's not going to be fun but I hope it goes as well as it can.

Thanks Izzy :A

On a brighter note, a group of us are going out tonight to watch Eddie the Eagles new film and then on for a few drinks! I've saw previews of it, and it looks quite good. Don't think it would be my usual type of film, but Hugh Jackmans in it....so!!

How had I managed to miss that fact!!

I've got a Cineworld unlimited card and really haven't been using it enough recently so I'll add the Eddie the Eagle film to my list of things to see

Eddie the Eagle film?

A film about Eddie the Eagle?


Is it quite a short film?


Don't tell me Hugh Jackman is playing Eddie? :rotfl:





Actually, I remember watching Eddie at whatever year Olympics he was competing in, and some Scandiwegians I knew were laughing at him.
However, when I pointed out that he was self-funded, had atrocious conditions to practice in, and just wanted to put a British presence onto the ski jump contest, they were full of admiration!

It was also, strangely, rather nice that he came last, as it made him a real underdog that the crowds really took too! That and his geekish appearance with his bottle glasses!

It also totally reinforced the Olympic ethos of 'it's the taking part', which the booing crowds at Rio would do well to remember.



Edit.....1988 Winter Olympics

Hello all!

I sometimes wake up laughing! Don't do any talking in my sleep to my knowledge.

Got through yesterday without using any painkillers! :j Had a mild twinge of pain when I woke up this morning but that's gone now so I think I'm pretty much mended again. Yay!

Also feeling quite pleased with myself! I'm one of those people paranoid enough to pay for internet security. This is because many years back I ended up with several nasties on a laptop within the space of a few weeks. I was using bundled-in McAfee back then... never again!

Since then I've been using Avast Premier alongside MalwareBytes Anti-Malware Premium. My Avast subscription ran out recently, and I didn't fancy paying their renewal price so I've been using trial versions of Kaspersky and then Bitdefender. Anyhoo, since using Avast and MBAM together, no nasties have made their way to my computer (I'm not discounting luck here mind) so I kinda wanted Avast back so I emailed them and told them that I would rather use Avast but I can't justify it when Bitdefender Total offers virtually everything Avast Premier offers but is less than half the price.

They emailed back with a discount code that undercuts Bitdefender by £5! :j

So I have my preferred anti-virus back. I kinda figure it's a bit more important now since I have the job for E's dad and need to make sure my computers are all secure.
