Someone to tell things to

Morning... I am off to Uni to see if I can salvage my practical experiment on the external factors which affect the assimilation of information (or, what affects learning, to be less pretentious) I have spent two months in prep for this, and some spotty greasy lanky oik ruined it yesterday by constantly using his mobile in class despite being asked not to.. And i want to teach these pillocks? Grrr....... Have a nice day all.

Jay I am nearly always awake when decent people have hit the sack. Sometimes I feel embarrassed that people will see I've posted on the forums at 3.15 am . I've had this sleep problem since being a hyperactive kid. I feel tired around nine and have a nap on the settee. My son goes to bed at 10 and I imagine I'll turn the lights off etc and go to bed straightaway. But something changes when I go into the room to turn off my computer . I think I'll check my email first. Obviously a nice cup of tea is in order, though what I really like best is a strong coffee. A bit of chocolate too. By midnight I am fully awake and could quite happily go out for a walk. There's often a bit of excitement when the cats and dog fight over a rodent. However late I go to bed I have to be up at 6am, 6 days a week. I manage the early morning robot-style. I think the hour on the settee is the spanner in the works.

hello jay i am off to work today for a budget meeting (providing my car works as it has a water leak and a dodgy battery)... ooh the excitement ... i have already had two domestic disasters ... one involve an absence of cheese and one involving rugby kit needed today which was inevitably still damp ... and my daughter has gone to school wearing my knickers as she couldn't find any clean ones of her own ... despite all the above i am feeling marvellously optimistic and jolly which is quite uncharacteristic ... i have consulted the abc agony uncle about all this but i doubt he will have anything constructive or revealing to say on the matter ... jay i have realised you are quite as bad as a teenager ... they are nocturnal as far as i can see and the only advantage to this is that they dont hang around during daylight hours bothering me ... pop pop fish

That definitely struck a chord with me Freda... (see agony uncle thread)... And Fish? Oh ye of little faith! (See agony uncle thread)

On those sleepless nights I do go for a walk. The seafront is brilliant at 4 am. I tramp around for an hour and then come back and go straight to sleep for the tiny part of the night left - but at least I do get some sleep!

yeah I get insomnia sometimes. Sometimes I write it out, sometimes I go for long walks, is cool at that time of day too, cause it's very quiet, sometimes I read, and other times I tend to do the wrong thing and lie there sweating it out unable to sleep, am learning tho that it's better to just get up out of bed and do something.... I had a rough nights sleep last night, but managed to get up somehow today... feeling quite on top now and perked up, I took my dog out for a walk and bumped into an old friend I haven't seen for a while, he's just got himself a nice motorbike that his old man left for him, so he's cruising about on that at the moment. Yesterday my clutch cable broke on my motorbike; and I had a great time trying to get it back into neautral so I could push the heavy thing back home, roughly 4 miles; my arms and legs were aching man... felt like a packhorse; so now I've got to do some work on my motorbike, before I can ride it again, a lot of my friends seem to be getting motorbikes lately, I really wanna got mine fixed up and on the road again... anyway about to go and do my laundry now and buy some new boots so I can do some walking; then I'll wait for my girlfriend at the pub near the trainstation, she's coming to stay with me for a bit which I'm really looking forward to, cause I miss her like crazy when she's not there, so am feeling on a high at the moment; life aint so bad really; tho at times it can hail in our face, if we didn't have challenges, and everything was easy for us, I guess our characters would never grow... respect

Paul thanks but don't need or want you to feel guilty as that was never my intention but something you can do for me is to stop directing writers on this thread to your agony uncle thread as they will go there if they wish as many have done so already. I have noticed this with you, you always seem to want to be the controlling factor in everything! and I can't make up my mind why as you seem to have most things in perspective when you write. Could be me of cause but one minuite you are in my good books (I realise you won't care to much about that) the next wow! this bloke is so up himself, leaving me very mystified but that will add to your advantage as I suspect you will love that. Just thought, a bit like taking a leaf out of your book and how sad that makes me feel...

Thanks everyone for chating with me feel a little bit more involved now and will be doing another one of my little postie chat's in the future, when it comes up please feel free to chat back as it has given me alot of pleasure just to have a peek into others lives and think on what you all have spoken about and how things afect each of you instead of only thinking about myself...
