OMG I was at that party is was really fun time it was either at the laughing leopard or the grapes, The MRL party may have seemed mad but some of their ideas were kind caring and very sensible.

The year that the photo was taken, they campaigned for all deaf children to have a mobile fone. You may think, why would they need a phone when they are deaf - but it was a communication aid for them to text their parents and friends – brilliant idea about keeping deaf children safe.

Been to bed - had to get up again - sleep mode doesn't seem to be working - my brain going into overdrive, I've planned a whole new template for work and customer focused scripts for talking to customers - I'm at my best when i should be asleep. Why is it that these brilliant ideas arrive last thing at night when I'm trying to drop off to sleep. I wish I could switch my brain off. I've tried mindfulness 'being in the moment' and trying to push everything out of my head but it doesn't want to go anywhere and I'm just mindful that I'm awake

Im not sure i might get used to their time - so i could still be awake as opposed to asleep at the normal time

Yes I must make sure of any persons religious and cultural beliefs before I start offering them any Gin. That is also true of age and it would help to know much capacity they have to hold their liqueur before you start.


Also I suppose that you can’t be too careful when you’ve had a drop too many Gins

Insomnia again. I’ve completed a session plan in my head whilst I was in bed trying to go to sleep - got up- typed it out in word - done a power point presentation on social policy and done all my tutor notes and noted the answers to anticipated questions.


I think that it helps to get it out of my head but I’ve just started reading about http://www.lifeblissmeditation.org/ I am considering giving it a try. Anyone ever heard of this or tried it.


I went to yoga classes for twelve weeks and whilst the yoga movements were difficult for me to do, the meditation session at the end was relaxing and really worked for me. I totally relaxed and switched my brain off


I might buy the lifebliss CD to see if I can relax I’m such a Workaholic and I used to have OCD about tiding the house but I seem cured of that now, the house is a tip and I don’t really care.

Surprisingly I wasn't grumpy, and even got in early!

It'll catch up with me later no doubt - just in time to go to bed and not be able to sleep...

Y'know what, I hadn't ever really thought about insomnia til a recent illness. I've always been a go to bed, get night after night of lovely sleep, take it all for granted type of person. Well that's now very much changed and I so sympathise with anyone with sleep issues. During my recent illness I initially had to try and sleep sitting up - my god what a difficult thing that was. Then I was on steroids, so completely wired all night - no sleep was gotten! Since then I've really struggled to re-establish my sleep pattern. It's getting easier, I can now go to bed and so long as I fall asleep straight away I'll get a nights sleep in.

All I really wanted to say to the insomniacs out there is you really do have my sympathy, and I feel for you. I don't have any solutions for you, but if you suffer I hope it resolves itself for you.

Went to bed at 20.00, woke at 05.30am............. considering I normally only manage 3hrs sleep, even when I'm on nights, I am now well made up. I'm also thinking of going back to bed for a few more hours cos I'm shattered!
