Where is everyone? I know I'm not the only insomniac; been awake since 3.00 and I'm now bored....

We need a frost to bring the last of the leaves down, I reckon.

I think they should put Christmas back a month this year because of the unseasonable weather.

Well its 12.42 been to bed and have got back up again.Some one has stuffed my pillow with bircks that is the only reason I can come up with as to why my pillow has become so uncomfortable !
Sleep seems to be staying away from me again tonight , at 7pm I could have nodded off wish I had gone to bed then !
Any one else out there wide awake hmm

Ariadne Tue 29-Nov-11 03:50:22

I am! Bet you've gone back to sleep now, Annika. I was hot - and it's not hormones any more; I put the winter duvet on yesterday, because there was a frost, but it's much warmer tonight. Heigh ho! Having a brew of peppermint tea.

Oh Ariadne if only I'd known - we could have had a chat at half past 3! Went back to sleep and then couldn't wake up at all until the decorator was banging on the door at 8.15 grin

Annika Tue 29-Nov-11 11:47:33

Didn't get to sleep till just after half 5 woke up at 20 past 8 roll on bed time (need a sleeply head smiley on here me thinks !) so I will make do with abrew as I need one !

Ariadne Tue 29-Nov-11 12:13:05

Think an afternoon nap is definitely on the cards - a Beaujolais evening tonight and I must be prepared! grin

Ariadne thanks for being so nice! X

Anyone awake yet? I've just had what the French call a 'blanc noir' - white night - which means a sleepless night of tossing and turning.

Annika Thu 01-Dec-11 06:36:51

Butternut Yes me again ! Had a cup of tea and now trying to sort out some on line christmas shopping

GoldenGran Thu 01-Dec-11 07:21:00

Good morning you early risers. Poor Butternut, that is the worst,can you catch up today, or will that make it worse? I woke at 5.30. but couldn't quite get myself down here to go on this. Am off for my swim nowbut as the mornings get colder, it takes great resolve to do it. luckily the swimming pool is less than a five minute walk. or I don't think it would happengrin

Butternut Thu 01-Dec-11 07:25:21

...and I'm off out for my early morning walk, then back for a long hot shower (the best bit) - that'll blow the night's cobwebs away and put a spring in my step.
Have a good swim gg.

Notsogrand Thu 01-Dec-11 07:42:42

Good morning. I'm full of admiration for your early morning energy Golden & Butter! Enjoy your walk and swim. smile

syberia Thu 01-Dec-11 07:46:49

I agree with Notsogrand, puts me to shame sitting here in my dressing gown, sipping tea! smile

Notsogrand Thu 01-Dec-11 07:48:40

Just realised it's December 1st. Whoop!
We should have asked HQ for an online GN Advent Calendar. grin

syberia Thu 01-Dec-11 07:50:49

Oh, that's a great idea!!

yogagran Thu 01-Dec-11 11:07:53

Love the idea of an online advent calendar - how about it HQ??

"Pretty please" smile

Annika Thu 01-Dec-11 18:25:03

Oh yes can we have an online advet calendar... but what about the chocs behind each window grin

Elegran Thu 01-Dec-11 18:45:43

If they can't do one, there are downloadable online ones at http://www.naturedetectives.org.uk/ideas/advent with daily activities.

Elegran Thu 01-Dec-11 18:46:26

Should have clicked the convert links button. www.naturedetectives.org.uk/ideas/advent

Notsogrand Fri 02-Dec-11 04:32:24

Awake at stupid o' clock, convinced I'd heard the back door being rattled. It was probably nothing but I've got all lights blazing in the house now. Oh well, at least it's a flying start to the day.

bagitha Fri 02-Dec-11 06:22:42

Good morning, notso. Are you still burning the candle oil? I'm up and about to drink coffee. i hope it gets through the brain fug left by last night's visit to the panto with 35 Cubs and Scouts. Yawn!
Great fun, though smile!

syberia Fri 02-Dec-11 06:52:44

Morning all, Bagitha did you take earplugs?

Ariadne Fri 02-Dec-11 07:04:02

Morning all! Quite late for me; but I really thought it was earlier so that was a nice surprise.

JessM Fri 02-Dec-11 07:16:03

Good morning! DH been up at 6 every day this week. Already gone to work. But I was awake at 5. Dawn just breaking and I suspect it might be first frosty one of the autumn here. It was snowy this time last year.

Notsogrand Fri 02-Dec-11 08:41:54

I nodded off again in the armchair bags. Your panto visit sounds very festive!
