I am ok. Two days no sleep just tired, but ok. I am glad your excersising is helping.
 I layed down for several hours hoping sleep would come and trying, but nothing, I am going to get out the house in a while at 9:00 am and go to the Grange and have breakfast with some old community members.. It's always nice for a Sunday morning!

Hi Zwitty,

by your absence, i guessed you were getting a bit more regular sleep. I have also been getting the hours in, although i put this down to not having the odd afternoon nap.

i have also cut out the nap at work...and i love my nap at work

ah, shucks...
*cheeks blush, leans back and thinks..... "yes, iam"

but not as great as you, Neil.

i wish i was a train driver! we had to go to lincoln today and parts of the eastcoast mainline are out, so they put coaches on for part of the journey and then at newark there was a 5 train queue.

apparently they had forgot to tell the driver of the first train that he was working today, so all the other trains had to queue untill he turned up.

then last night, we were delayed for an hour because the barrier on a level crossing would not go down.

ease the strain, take the train. i could throttle whoever came up with that slogan.

4 HOURS YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!
OHHHHHH YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! GOOD JOB SLEEPY TABS AND ALL!! I am so very happy to hear that from you... You know I am.., Makes me cry!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYY!! I am very excited that you slept!! HAPPY DAY!!!!

I thought breakfast would be great, the sasage was link, I hate link sausage I like country sausage two big chunks, but alas the scoundrals quit serving that kind months ago according to the new people whom I didn't recognise..! LOL I have been in to long.. My pancakes with real maple syrup were good, and I had a slice of ham. It was ok. but I still was able to be sensible and did not blow my food intake.. so It was un pleasant. In a couple weeks Blue Lake will do theirs and it is always good! I rarely eat eggs since my first pregnancy so No eggs!

How did your fair go today Kind Sir? I hope it went well!

I will get some sleep sooner or later. I am not going to stress myself overit. It will come. will be ok..

Hey sorry to hear Karen that your going 2 days without sleep...hope you get some soon!...i know whta im like when i go 2 days without and its not a pretty site!!

Good to hear Paul your sleeping well too...is that bye bye to afternoon naps then?...if its helping your night sleeping then best not to go back to that...

Great to see you back Neil....4hrs with sleeping pills?...the latest pills ive been teking knock me out best part of a day!!..altho im not sleeping all that time but might as well be as i can hardly think...how do u feel when u wake up after taking the pills?

as for exercise at 5am in morning?...well its not too strenuous..just some skipping and some crunches etc...it actually sets u up pretty well for the day...i do find tho on days when i havent slept then a bout of exercise gets me that little bit more alert which helps if u need to go to work or interact with people..

napping...rarely do that....there are some people who actually train themselves to nap...power napping or polyphasic sleep they call it i think...didnt ellen mcarthur do that while going for the record? im sure i read something about that...

We had a great time yesterday, Anastasia spent most of her time in the arcades playing the slots...pounds upon pounds in, and eventually she wins a couple of pence and comes running saying she is winning!

We also met up with about a dozen old friends, some of us had not seen eachother for 10 years. it was good to reminisce about old times and old friends.

No Worries I am fine. I will just wait and see what tonight brings.. LOL should be interesting. I thought I was going to nod off last night on here so I closed everything and went and layed down.. Once down I stayed , but to no avail, It was a aggrivating few hours trying to get comfortable and feeling so antsy that I could not stand it! had a million and 1 things running through my head keeping me awake..

Arcades were always the happening places when my kids were younger they loved them. I am gla she had so much fun. I am glad you seen old friends that you have missed. Its good to see how people are doing after gaps of time like that!

The fair was good today.....made a few appointments...lets hopes they convert to business !!..YAYYYYYY.thanks for asking Karen Mam.

Why Yes they start out all linked together and then they are cooked into little hard crisp bits of grease that I hate about 2 and 1/2 inches long each! They were over cooked today and nasty little deep fried ugliness. YUCK!!!! Did I say I hate LINK sausage??? LOL No pink link sausauge or sink link sasauge or any Pink mink link sausage today!! HORRAYYYYYYYYY!!

I hope they do end up turning you a profit for all your time and effort. It is nice that you were able to make some appointments. That is a great thing! It will all come round full circle to you you Kind Sir as you deserve it and much more! Hugs and your welcome!
