Extra hours sleep tonight - yippeeeeee

I went to bed at twelve, read for ten minutes and got up at nine! Don't know what happened there, but great to have a good night's sleep

We both woke at 5 and then managed another 2 hrs dozing on and off, I always do Sunday morning cuppa in bed watching the news till match of the day then I either get up or read my kindle . We were still up and breakfasted by 9:30 I've repotted a couple of orchids and got the veg ready for dinner later... now OH has gone for his Sunday practice with his snooker team and I can play away to my hearts content.. I love Sunday either one of my daughters usually calls in for tea and a chat and I have Chocolate cream cheese brownies that I baked yesterday if the granddaughters tag along too...

I woke up an hour earlier, as I knew I would. Graciously allowed DH to bring me breakfast in bed and read my book for an hour. Off soon to collect GD as it is half term and Mummy and Daddy have to go to work.

DH let the dogs out at THEIR normal time. I pretended to be asleep. I had a lovely mug of tea in bed and read my book for an hour. DH then climbed back into bed and turfed me out as he reckoned it was time for HIS lie in!

Just found square brackets on iPad

All house work done - and now wondering how to spend the rest of the morning cos weather is rubbish and can't get out in the garden. Hope body clock will be back to normal tomorrow! (Smile).

Thanks Tech, for the Halloween emoticons!

Woke up at 5-ish, read for an hour then my eyes closed again and I woke up at 8.30. Got up somewhat later and am now watching recorded Andrew Marr show. And it's a horrid morning out there - no incentive to go beyond the back door.

Went to bed early (10 ish) and woke up at 7:00 ish new time =result!

Couldn't sleep! Got up and had my annual bath. Almost fell over! As the handle on the wall I lean on to get in and out decided to lose its suction and part company with the wall!
I then had to remember how to work the bath lift.
It's no use, I'll have to forgo another cruise next year and have wet room fitted!
Don't worry though, I do have showers inbetween, but the shower in my room is very cramped.
I now have the first load of washing in. Just having a coffee prior to reading files for next week.

I woke up at 7 on the dot and thought, no not getting up yet, so watched a ridiculously weepy Catherine Cookson on the telly - now I can't get going at all. MrG would have been horrified at what I get up to these days - telly in bed on a sunday morning - Never!!

Woke up at half past five (GMT) this morning. Got up at six. Being retired means I can just pretend it hasn't happened. Worked last year - until the clocks went forward in the spring and I still kept adjusting the time for appointments!

Cats were bang (literally) on time as predicted. Still I get an extra hour on Gransnet.

I won't get an extra hour because I have to drive to Heathrow at silly o'clock to pick up daughter (returning from doing shows in Doha) as her husband is working.
At least I'll get a lovely pub sunday roast for my trouble (cooked by SIL - he's the chef).

It's just me then is it? I love it when the clocks go back and the long evenings set in.

Well Dgd will want chocolate sandwiches and dgs will want little weetabix with warm milk, but I might not be fit to make breakfast for them tomorrow

Only one of my cats – Dingbat aka Fatty – drinks tea. They all like Marmite on toast.

Mine would be in the kitchen, foraging....

Is that the cats or the grandchildren?

glass can't you just leave them a little surprise snack in their bedroom? Like a packet of sandwiches and a flask of tea!

Hmm absent easier to provide breakfast.

glass Or they might just assemble outside your bedroom, bang on the door, scrabble on the carpet and howl…

absent the same with the DGC they will still be through at silly o'clock stood at the side of my bed until I open my eyes to " Grandma we are hungry" I need a lock on the door and then they might find their way to their parents bedroom

I can't put my cats back. They will still assemble outside my bedroom, bang on the door, scrabble on the carpet and howl for breakfast as usual tomorrow.

I hate the dark afternoon/evenings, I find closing the blinds in the late afternoon makes my mood mellow.. although I wake early so light in the early am doesn't bother me..
