Morning all - dreich day here again but think I'll try and get some compost from the Council site to fill the edged off beds.

Jules- take a siesta for say 30 mins in the afternoon if you can.
My OH snores like crazy- plus I have insomnia...so I tend to be utterly exhausted most of the time - even before I help with some of the heavier chores around here.

Getting frustrated and anxious/irritated during the night really doesn't help....enjoy the fact that he is there - in bed with you!

Morning All......Surprise!! It's raining!. Again. The chooks are going to develop webbed feet soon

I'm tired. This snoring is ridiculous now. I'm awake every night until 3 or 4am, by which time I fall asleep out of exhaustion. I then get up when he does at 6am ish (to help him get out of bed etc) and doze on the sofa for a couple of hours unless he needs me to help him. There is no quality sleep happening here. Ma has suggested sleeping pills but I can't take them in case he needs me in the night. I wish I knew why he's suddenly started this snoring again? Only thing I can think of is his taking of heavier painkillers so that he can sleep. And I can hardly ask him not to take them.

Oh well. Coffee?

I've seen some pictures on Facebook- when blokes lie on their back, said tackle blocks their botty holes (blowholes?) or something like that.

Or perhaps you could try those strips that stick on your husbands/partners nose and open it up to help prevent it?

Sympathise with you Jules.

Has he tried those nasal sprays, supposed to help snoring, maybe worth a try. There are also some drops/ spray for pillow, ( lavender I think)

Extra pillow or two?

Ear plugs for you, nice comfy ones.

Trouble is if you are awake and your other half isn't, even breathing sounds extremely loud,

Hope better night tonight.

Afternoon all.................It's FRIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY..yay

Evening all. 11.30 pm here, waiting for babysitting daughter to get delivered home. Nearly an hour late already. She'll be cream crackered as we were up shopping in canberra all day. School and work wear, all the basics. A new phone for me to play with (poor young man who had to find one for me!) and it's been 38-42 degrees everyday here for a week. Back to work tomorrow.

Had to have the two old horses put down this week, so pretty sad time.

And the garden what is left of it is baking. Trying to keep the hazel trees alive, but can't plant them yet - just too dry and hot. It's really depressing. Trying to keep the trees in the ground alive, and letting all else self seed and hope it comes back if it ever rains.

Fires in Victoria and south australia. One dead. Arsonists have lit half of them Why!
A few small fires around and about - mostly lit by dry lightning. Fingers crossed for us all, nothing close, but you can't breathe hard just in case.

Folk festival on in a week. I need to try and do some last minute advertising. Have been to hot to care this week.

Will just have a quick look at what you've been up to and head for bed.

Ooops now how did those seeds pop into my basket at wilcos?

Maybe the 3 for 2 offer had something to do with it.

Very wet here today - soggy paw prints everywhere and a dog missing her morning walk. I have been trying to teach her to give me the ball when she plays chase indoors. She gives nicely if the reward is a treat - but tends to snatch the treat!

Re the snoring, you really must look into a cpap pump and mask, it stops snoring stone dead. Snoring is not healthy it reduces you blood oxygen and can cause degrees of brain damage. They are suprisingly easy to wear once you get used to it. before i had mine i tried all the suggested remedies none of them worked. You will sleep better, he will sleep better, its a no brainer.

[Glutton4...]

Aaaaaaaaaaaarternoooooooon Peeps. Sunny here, was drizzly first thing, though. Rose a chum's Orse this morning, then walked the dogs with another chum - all this exercise is fab! Yup, I came home and ate the last choux bun! But at least I don't feel guilty about it today.

Coffee?

[Glutton4...]

Oh, and where the chuff is Stow-e-market, RT?

[Sheneval]

Bill,

You are a brave man - don't fancy it myself but each to his own

[Tripmeup]

hey Feral,

Sorry to hear about the horses, sad news, even if it was the right thing to do...

Hope you staying in out of that heat!!! What a scorcher!!

[bearded bloke]

Weeding done,organic matter spread,home made compost spread,saved seed sweat peas sown direct in flower (half) bed,chook treats given,halo polished so now as it is dry I'm of for a spin on the scooter is it true all roads lead to a garden centre ?

[Sheneval]

BB - Eventually!

[bearded bloke]

Good-oh then I shall test the notion >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
