No Sleep Till Showtime
Did not sleep a wink last night - literally, not for a second...crazy potatoes.
I know exactly why - I was too excited, so excited that I was fretting. Fretting in the dark, which seems to last so much longer than in the daylight.
I fretted in the bedroom, in my study, in the living room, back in my study and then back in my bed.
I had something on my mind - so I know what it was that was keeping me awake - I just hopes it all dies down in time for tonight.
Feel like a total space cadet now, so need to get some 'zeds' for re-entry to the earth's atmosphere, sometime later on this afternoon.
Give my regards to your planet.

Nothing's ever as bad as the fear of it. Grab a power-nap today and a big hug from your loved ones, and all will be well.
And yous could be stuck in an air-vent...

I've just looked up the meanin' of the word Fret.
Apparently, along with to Cause to become uneasy, it also means to Gnaw with the teeth in the manner of a rodent; and also to Form a passage or channel by erosion.....
Right, matey. If I find out yous were wit Rips in Glasgow on duct duty yous'll be frettin' alright.
Get that power-nap, sunshine. Yous'll need it.

Chris - as you may know I also couldn't sleep last which is why I was replying to your tweeets.
I'm definitely not starting on the coffee again.....I'd never get a wink.
I agree though with what you said on the show, two weeks without caffeine and I've never felt better!
Right I'm up to Southport.......and praying that Clodagh's abroad.

It's worse when you cannot sleep but haven't got a clue why. Hubby sez it's something worrying me subconsciously??? It must be very subconscious is all I can say. I usually end up reading on the sofa for an hour or 4 and/or watching a film on the old tellybox and then act like a zombie for the rest of the day. Luckily for me, I don't have 2 sleeplessness nights in a row, for which I am very grateful, hehehe. And, it always happens on a work day...never over the weekend. What's that all about then?
Morning all

Know how you feel Christoff, didn't get much sleep as poorly girl kept me awake. Now on 2nd set of antibiotics from Doc, who has swabbed both of her ears and set them off for tests.
Poor girl was burning up with temperature, like her own personal hot water bottle, so I'm struggling this morning.
Beez sorry I missed your b'day, so belated congrats.

Wonder if I dare risk the boy with a dry biscuit yet? Funny to see him, usually so grown up but properly my lickle boy again today. Bit of a challenge when they crawl on your lap and a almost taller than you but we'll manage

Not really had a chance to read and catch up but I did glance through and see a post or 2 from Debbie C - I remember her from my lurking days, good to see you back!

I well remember you saying how you watched that stage being built and then the massive concert. If I recall, weren't you standing just right of the stage??
See spring is in the air with Rips and Rubbish !!! Reading your musings the ringing in my ears has stopped, the pain in my chest gone and I can feel my left arm again !!! Had a right ol' giggle you mad pair.
Sorry Gaily, got 6mm 9.5, 12.5 and 25mm but they are all black.
Good to see you here Debs me old fruit.
Air is red hot with angry e-mails Miss P - not your nearly ex lot this time, the ones who like to change the spelling of happenZ. Not a single response yet - there's a surprise. Resigned to the fact it is just not all going to get done - so what the heck.
So with Bingo boosting my ego and I have just had a massive parcel delivered with my internet goodies - off on an opening spree.

Susan, I'm ok ta. Not too bad at all.
Tiggs, we have a new snacks range coming out now...they're very nice...maybe I should be on commission hehe! Ok no more Warbies talk.
It was a year ago today that I went into hospital, reckon that's why I thought to pop in here, feeling a bit sentimental as opposed to just mental :o)

Bingo, loving your posts about Queen and Paul Rogers. Saw them together at Cardiff and O2. Mr Seza went to O2 twice and took boys 2nd time. Have lovely pic of Boy2 fast asleep during Bo Rap!! He was little at the time!
Shopping now. Need a certain type of tomato soup for boy1. Guarenteed cure all in this household

PS A did meet one of the blog ploice at the CLP Drivetime O2 Farewell Gig & a thought she was VERY nice & a would ave been more than willing ter go out for a drink with 'er - no funny business just discussing showbizzness in friendship terms!!!!!!!!
Am always willing ter meet new friends... and ESPECIALLY if they work at R2!!!!!!!!
In fact a will let all inter a little secret.... a waz nearly gonna ask 'elen Thomas out for a drink when a 'eard she waz single!!!!!!!!!!
She also seemed VERY nice!!!!!!! n fact she didn't seem nice.... she damn waz!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although ave since 'eard she 'az a... well a can't say although CLP did say on air.... so maybe a will... a man in Newport!!!!!!!!
But since a 'ad a mini breakdown on the blog recently.... am keeping away from R2 az all there must think am unbalanced & a NUTTER!!!!!!!
So if 'elen Thomas iz reading this - don't worry yer safe!!!!!!
Plus am sure am the last person she would wanter go out for a drink with after me recent blog madness!!!!!!
Aving said that it iz only because of what life does ter me... and women!!!!!
Even though am noot a NUTTER... life just tests me sanity more than most but less than some - know what am sayin'!!!!!!!
Must admit though.... beautiful eyes 'elen Thomas 'as... and VERY 'ard working & intelligent & talented - a admire that very alot in a woman!!!!!!!
Forgotten whatta came on ere ter wreet know, sorry now!!!!!!
Oh I yeah.... Beezer... am so glad yer forgive me!!!!!!!
A feel it's so bad & rude of me ter fogeet yer birthdee!!!!!!!!
Maybe it's cos yer on The Cusp!!!!!!!!!
Strange thing though a normally always remember people's star signs... for example CLP - Aries Jono S - Aries.... 'elen Thomas - Gemini... alotta fire on the breakfast gig there but probably one of the reasons why they all get on so spiffingly!!!!!!!!
In fact Beezer being a Aries just am sure yer would be well suited ter a slot on the breakfast gig!!!!!!
Lynn Bowles can#t remember what sign she iz but am sure she iz a fire sign too... gemini or leo.... probably why everteem a ring up 'er 'otline we always end up aving an argument over the M6!!!!!!!!
All ter do with a clash of astrology!!!!!!!!
Any way ave said enough mad things for one dee... am outta ere!!!!!!
PS Susan upon Tyne - lovin' your work too!!!!!!
Thanks for lovin' my work... yer know being a truck driver is ok!!!!!!! Yer wreet... a love it too!!!!!!

And it turns out you'd only forgotten to take your bags for life to the supermarket!! I shall have to take a pinch of salt with your next confession! Glad to see you back on top form!
Really enjoyed the show this morning Chris, playing Middle of the Road took me back a bit! Hot Hits One probably! Didn't catch the Friday show, so I don't know what sporting challenge you're up to tomorrow. You must slow down a bit lad, I'm fair exhausted reading the last few blogs of yours!

Chris, know just how you're feeling. Can't remember when I last slept a whole night.
Gorgeous little boys have just gone. The 7yr old lives on his own planet all the time. He was checking out deadly transformers on here while telling me about hieroglyphics and the ancient Egyptians. He's lost his two front teeth too so he looks specially gorgeous. BTW: just for your information when Noah starts losing his - it's £2 a tooth!
