Anyone around?

I'm here, working a really long night shift.

coco? vodka?

I'm always up late. Currently cuddling a little stray kitty

Anything up- or just general insomnia?

A real little stray or is that an endearing term for someone?

Just been the most horrible three days, able to relax a bit now, and can't get the sleep I need to catch up on!

Anyone seen Shiny around? I want to know if she fancies shopping tomorrow!

Sorry you have had a bad time of it.

I do actually need distracting tonight as one of the guys who i am working with is playing the most annoying game ever (well the sound effects are) I have asked him 4 times to turn it down....he has 5 mins till i hurt him.

I am here too but a little drunkard so not sure how much use i would be....

how are you?

Is it a pc game? Can you ask for a copy and compete with him?

I'm ok ta feathers now have a cough starting which is the last thing I want. Perhaps I should try and sleep, I'm back to work tomorrow!

Hows you?

A stray we found sleeping out in the snow last month - he's lovely only about 9 months. Unfortunatly my tom cat has taken exception and wants to duff him up.

sorry you have had a rough few days- probably need more time to relax before sleep will take over ?

Hello Im around, waiting for my chilli to cook before glossing the paintwork in our bedroom...had a really weird day and had been contemplating posting about it, but I cant..or rather, i shouldnt..oh, i sound cryptic now, and I didnt mean to, Im just all out of sorts with it..

I also have a cough, which sucks..

Nope he is playing on his soon to be broken DS, why oh why he needs the sound turned up i will never know.

i hope you are able to get to sleep quickly and if not i will be here all night

Hi girls. im here too.

numbnuts, i cant imagine what you have been through these past couple of days. We have to go through exactly the same in the very near future and i just dont know how we will cope. How long does he have to have off work afterwards?

Ethel - do you want to post and then delelte?

NN - I hope your cough doesn't come to anything and hope being back to work tomorrow is okay

Ethel - sounds intriging! What's up?

I'm up... Have wrecked my back and am all sore. So I made a midnight curry (the very best kind) and am smoking my brains out and drinking tea.

Pans, I've updated the post below - its not being done now before christmas. But assuming that the recovery time is the same as the op he was expecting (because I think most of the recovery is the actual physical repair) then 5-7 days in hospital and 6 weeks not able to lift anything or drive. Anything from 1-3 months off work

How's your H?

I'm around, another one who can't sleep!

I've been like this for over 10 wks now but doc can't give me anything because I'm pregnant.

Rony your wee stray sound lovely, how could anyone do that to a little kitty??

Ethel - I was just thinking wow she's eating chilli/glossing the paintwork awfully late then saw your location? Oh I am dim sometimes, but then I polished my living room and all the bedrooms at 2am last night because I was bored, H was at work and K was staying over at his granny and grandpa's?. I eventually got to sleep at 5am then got up at 9am all I had to do was hoover and that was the house work done!

Tonight I'm contemplating cleaning the bathroom?

I'm here too Numbnuts. Not so much insomnia as self imposed slavery ?. It's my boy's last day at nursery tomorrow so I'm pretending to be a domestic goddess and baking.

I'm glad you have a plan for Mr NN and his op, it must have been a rough few days.
