The 'I need a distraction' thread.

[chinahorse]

I've got a couple of my fav that I bought ages ago but haven't got around to watching yet but I'm so so tired. Mostly am just fighting not ro go to bed.

What shows are you going to catch up on?

[one_step_closer]

When is a reasonable time for you to go to bed? Are there things you can do that don't increase the tiredness until you're ready to sleep? What are your fav DVDs?

I've got one episode of Holby to catch up with. I've also got the DVDs of the series Nurse Jackie which I'm working through. I'm not going to watch Casualty tonight because I don't have the ability to pause live TV so I'd rather watch it on catch up when I am able to pause it.

[Serendipity.]

I haven't watched Holby or Casualty in aaaages!

I hope you're all having a good evening :)

Remember folks no Casualty next week due to Eurovision.

Toddlers church tomorrow morning and I am not asleep!

[chinahorse]

Oh no aubergine, is it early?

I need to stop going to bed at like half 8.

[Aubergine]

Not too early. Have to be there at 10am. So I have to leave at 9:55am, as I live less then 5 minutes away from church. I would just rather get more sleep!


20:30 is early to go to bed. Frustrating when all you want to do it sleep though.

[chinahorse]

Well at least it's not super early but I feel you on the sleep front.

Yeah my fibro is making life hard rn, all I want is to be in bed asleep but often I'm woken up by pain. Sucks.
But I'm Gunna go get a nice cuppa and see if that helps.

[Aubergine]

A nice cup of tea sounds good. :) How do you take it? Fibro sounds like an absolute nightmare. I'm sorry that you're suffering.

[chinahorse]

Thanks lovely one. Maybe you should try a nice soothing hot drink also?

It is soul destroying but I'm hoping that the combo of my new job and seeing the pain clinic next week will start to help. I'm also better today because of the warmer weather- I seem to react physically to atmospheric pressure.

[Aubergine]

Thank you. I might get a Tassimo hot chocolate or something. Or, actually, I've got some instant Horlicks in the cupboard. I think I'll have some of that.


Is new job easier on your body? Do you run around less? Warmer weather is great. It's good for the body and soul, I find. :)

[chinahorse]

Each to their own on the Horlicks front :-P

My new job is better but I find the chair isn't good at all and I have to make the effort to get up and move evey so often or I get really sore. I do miss wearing leggings and trainers though!

Hello late night people.

I like Horlicks, it reminds me of my dad. =) But I prefer the chocolate one.

Could you request a better chair?

[Aubergine]

Hehe Lillie. :P


Hooray for other Horlicks drinkers! I've never had the chocolate one. Cool that it reminds you of your Dad, Person. :)

[chinahorse]

In my old place we used to do a chocolate malt milkshake. Was essentially like drinking a Malteser lol

[Aubergine]

Oh that sounds yum! :)


Best I can come up with is chocolate Movicol for children!

[nonperson]

Mmmmmm, love Maltesers.

[Aubergine]

Me too!


I want a banana and coconut muffin! Had one a few hours ago though. It is the next day, mind. So...

[nonperson]

Have one! There's no rule that you can only have one a day.
