The start of the slippery slope?

There's something about 'Flog It'. I often seem to wake up as the end music starts! Its a horrible feeling though and I wake up with my heart racing.
My GPs always had a rest after lunch and my Dad used to have a nap each lunchtime before surgery. Maybe we're programmed to have a 'siesta' but we've overridden the urge as we have to work. Now I've retired maybe I'm actually getting back to a sort of normal ? Don't know.

Along the same lines - why do we get food stains on our tops nowadays?

Some once told me that old age is when you shouldn't try to sit down holding a cup of tea. Oh so true.

I'm always resting mt eyes whilst my laptop is on my lap.

Sorry but that made me laugh!
I often sit and watch my OH nodding off with either a cup or glass in his hand, and cannot even think how many times his laptop looks near to landing on the floor while he is 'watching' something with his eyes shut lol.

It was warm yesterday and I was tired, but sitting watching the Tour of Britain on the TV with a cup of tea the inevitable happened. I suddenly realised there was a warm wet feeling - and I woke up to find warm tea soaking my clothes and an upside down mug on my chest sad. DH, of course, found it very funny, but maybe this is the start of a slippery slope...?
