    That would be so exciting - one less demand on your precious time and energy - and some money to boot :)

    Thanks Ed! You're right - I'm overlooking the joy of the finish because of the dread of the actions *needed* to finish, but it will be wonderful, there's no doubt.

    I'd sort of forgotten about the money too ... there's no capital gains tax, because there's a massive capital loss (minimum of 40%) as well as the annual loss because it doesn't pay for itself. But there will be actual money involved, if it actually sells. As my sister says, everything has a price point at which it sells.

    I'm getting excited already :D

    Absolutely - it's just a case of being realistic :)

    Deal..
    I remember taking my DS to a sleep clinic when he was wee.
    It's certainly no fun when your wee one does not sleep.
    Sends some magic sleep dust your way.

    Sleep! Yep, I'd better shut the computer down soon ... and beanie, I see your light is on too ... I use Sleepeaze, the Boots OTC tabs if I really need some help, which I think I do today. They make my lips go numb but their herbal stuff just doesn't help me at all, so industrial strength wotsit it is, when needs must.

    I hope everybody sleeps well tonight :)

    Interesting:T. I might buy some if things don't change soon.


    For the first time in my whole (long:eek:)life I'm having nights of very disturbed sleep. Not just occasionally but almost every night:(. It doesn't matter too much as I haven't any important appointments or anything particularly onerous to do in the daytimes (cleaning can wait, right?;)). It bothers me all the same as I'm thinking it might be a permanent state of affairs from now on:eek:. Correction, I had a couple of nights with sleep problems last year because I had raging toothache but that was easily remedied.


    I was always overjoyed and thankful that as soon as my head hit the pillow every single night I'd fall into a deep, dreamless sleep and stay that way right through until morning:j. My Dad used to say I could sleep on a washing line:rotfl:. I possibly did dream but never had any recollection of them. I'm not doing anything differently now to then and I can only put it down to the death of my brother and everything that surrounded it. I just drop off about 11 but am fully awake again by about 1.30 and can't get off again after that whatever I do.

    I fear it has become a game now:

    "DD steal Daddy bed? DD sleep in her own bed!"

    "NO! MY SLEEP IN DADDY BED :D"
