    Yes, I miss Softstuff too. She was often the only one around when I fancied a chat in the middle of the night.
    She was having computer problems and could only post here when she could snaffle her OH's laptop for a few minutes.

    I'm all out of sync now. I decided to watch TV tonight from the warmth and comfort of my bed, so retired with my 'warm patch' (Pickle's name for my wheat bags) at about 7 o'clock. So warm and comfy was I that I went to sleep. Just woken up. An interesting night lies ahead.

    Ah well, you three, I will obviously have to give classes in how to live a disorganised life and sleep at odd times and against all expectations. I thought I was in for a sleepless night after sleeping all evening, so I equipped myself with a good book, a tough cryptic crossword and charged up the tablet. I went straight off to sleep and woke up just before 6 this morning.
    It's the result of a clear conscience and living a virtuous life. Take note!

    Millie has just joined me in bed bearing a very muddy Jumbone. Giving Millie a Jumbone is the equivalent of sticking the kids in front of the TV instead of playing with them. After carrying it around in her mouth for most of the day, looking for all the world like Winston Churchill with his cigar, she took it out into the garden and buried it. She must have rescued it when I let her out this morning. Having shrieked and run the offending bone under the bathroom tap I am now sharing a bed with a very aggrieved dog, who is staring at me reproachfully, and a de-muddied bone.

    It's a glamorous life I lead.

    THOUGHT FOR TODAY

    Mama read so much about the dangers of drinking alcohol and eating chocolate that she immediately gave up reading.

    I'm just completely and utterly fed up of not sleeping now...I'm exhausted :(

    I wake between 3.30 and 4.30am every bloody night and I'm so fed up of being tired all the time ...It makes life so much harder to cope with :(

    Sorry for the rant, weeks/months of only 3 or 4 hours sleep a night does make one a tad grumpy :o
