I know that some of you live in 'far away' places, with different time zones---but for the rest of you, just why are you on here at silly o'clock?
OK, I admit it, I'm here too!!!!
Went to sleep, woke up with money raising ideas running round my head, and here I am ---having done some research and sent an e mail
Strange I should say 'ideas running', as I certainly won't be running, more jog/walk, around London in April ----Again--hence my need to raise money.
Don't feel in the least tired , I suppose I could always sort some clothes, wrap some Christmas presents, do some de cluttering.
Then again, I could just sit here communicating  |

Hello Imp
Communication's good!
I'm up because the painkillers have worn off and my sore broken foot has woken me up. I've got some work to do but thought I'd pop on here first to see what everyone's up to. I knew Moo would be up but I didn't expect an inspired Imp!

I am quite often on here in the wee hours when I can't sleep. I go to sleep no problem as soon as my head hits the pillow, but if I wake up at all, that's it, I can never get back to sleep, so I come on here wearing my invisibility cloak (aka Harry Potter) and I have a read and a think and do admin stuff while it's quiet.
Too much personal stuff going round in my head right now. Big meetings looming, big decisions to be made and it is tearing me apart to know what to do for the best, hence the not sleeping.
Guess it's similar for you right now with GLO moving on. Brain goes into overdrive.
Perhaps we should start an insomniacs chat thread?

Want to 'like' your reply daffin, but that might imply that I like your broken foot  , but I do like your 'inspired imp' 
jmk. hope you get through your meeting intact, at least our immediate 'event' is coming to an end---though the marathon will be looming for a good few months yet.
Insomniacs chat thread sounds good, though would possibly be spasmodic for me x

Slept soundly last night jmk, the sleep of the exhausted I think. moo, made over £100 in the last 2 days by selling some quality branded children's clothes on a Facebook site, hoping more will sell. Reasonably painless, though I do love the clothes, but as we get clothing allowance I always buy more anyway (and I really don't have room to store them all) Also planning to destash some of the wraps I have---for carrying the littlies, as I have three favourites and the others are just taking up room. If I can make £300 that way then will help towards the total I need for MACS Marathon fund |

Yes, JMK. Much too much. Also a blooming sore foot - wakes me up!
imp. That sounds awesome! I need to do some SERIOUS de cluttering here, too. Mouse is growing fast and I've got over a year's worth of her clothes to sell on. Can't find the time/motivation!

Hope the foot heals soon daffin, I just fractured/dislocated a toe and know just how painful that was. Feels as though you just want to take it off sometimes to give your self a rest?
Marathon Charity money is the only motivation I have to destash, loads more 'clutter' that I need to sort, but that's another story!

I'm a very poor sleeper, always have been. I'm often cleaning at midnight, last night I was ironing Simba's uniform at 2. So I often have a peruse through the posts at obscure hours

Cleaning at midnight. Now there's virtue! Our house would be so much cleaner if I spent my wakeful hours doing something useful like that.
Yes, imp. Boringly sore. I had Monkey Boy doing role play this evening - he pretended to cut my leg off and give me a new one. Appealed to his small boy love of gore, but he did 'magic it' afterwards to stop it hurting. I think it made us both feel a bit better!

I have actually been to sleep, but, as usual lately I'm awake again. Usually waking at 2 am, bit earlier tonight!
Head whirring.
Made a really good friend, mum from school, breast cancer same time as me, she's fabulous, we celebrated the end of our treatment back in the summer. I'm still ok, she's not. Going to lose her soon and its hit me very hard.
Cleaning sounds like a good idea!! X

Sorry to hear about your friend. No wonder you're awake - and the cleaning suddenly sounds a wonderfully practical way if dealing with ALL THAT. Not virtue, after all. Mind you if you ever feel like popping over here, you'd be welcome. Even at two o'clock in the morning.    |

Sending a big hug sooz

Fund going well , especially being boosted by a very generous moo Xxxx
Currently standing at £420 with another £65 from clothes sales to be entered. More clothes on offer, and a couple of quizzes and a raffle for a Christmas 'hamperette' to come.

I'm like you Sooz, have no problem getting off to sleep, usually asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, but the if i wake up, that's it can't get back to sleep again, but this mornings wake up is early even by my standards as Moo isn't even around yet at 1.20am. All on my lonesome ..... oh well, off to do some admin and have a browse ... |

Typical, have been away on retreat (in a supportive role rather then 'retreating') so no Internet since last Thursday morning. Did I sleep well while I was there? No! and I couldn't even join you owls |

Anyone out there?
Double whammy of 'stay awake' issues-----Intros start tomorrow, and I don't feel that the house is ready, mainly because of the little bundle of squishiness who is also keeping me awake!

Hope you're not feeling too lonely moo.
Have just found another use for baby wipes, cleaning the worst of the kitchen floor because right now I am just too tired to clean it properly!
First day of Intros went well today, slightly shorter than the last ones as totally different age. Not going to be very interesting for a diary, it will just happen.
Will be giving tiny one next feed very soon then---if I am lucky---will have 4 hours sleep.
Wishing all you Owls the best sleep possible xxx

Silly o clock it is again. Tiny is all over the place with feeding---talk about demand feeds, though that isn't quite right as have to wake T 'cos still so very little and feeding is tiring work.
All is quiet and almost tidy here in Imps den, that is, if I ignore all DH's clutter---not my responsibility!
So, almost tidy, presents wrapped, tree decorated and twinkling beautifully, mood music on.
For the moment, feeling really peaceful and calm
Tomorrow will be another day, suppose I had better buy some food at some point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
