Is your dog's unusual barking a secret code for something mysterious?

No I'm not hungover just tired and a bit deflated after a week of too much food not enough exercise if you dont count an uphill walk to the pub on Boxing Day :shameonu:We are all tired and grumpy after a party which finsihed at 2am. Was rudely awoken by cat who decided 7am was his breafast time so struggled downstairs and chucked food around. stumbled back to bed and was awoken by same cat at 9am wanting to go out. Chucked OH out for this and to make tea. I need another holiday to get over this. Chrimbo decs looked tired too. hey ho Happy New year

Christmas is always an exhausting time of year, what with the running around beforehand & then all the business of the day itself.

Me too. My sons birthdays are both in January so we at least have those to look forward to.

Quite tired, but only had one drink last night - a culmination of newborn in the house and all the organising of Christmas......it isn't going to quieten down either for the next month or so as DS (15) is Hansel in the pantomime at the end of January and there are lots and lots of rehearsals for him to be taken too and picked up from (most evenings and both weekend days) and then 2 days after it finishes it is his 16th birthday......roll on spring I say!!

After over indulging in alcohol last night until 3am i feel surprisingly good lol

Had to at the cat story as mine had me up 3 times weds night, thought she wanted to go outside but when i went downstairs she ran under kitchin table, the 3rd time she got shoved outside

 

I hate having my birthday in january, everone seems either skint , grumpy or both lol i never know what to ask for as we have just had christmas! but think of things later in the year, maybe i should have a half birthday

yes too fragile for my own good and not at all alcohol related.

 

I am physically shattered and could do with an unhindered sleep routine... anytime soon would be good.

I'm feeling fragile, but not through over-indulgence of alcohol Instead I have a throat infection, so spent NYE on water, not alcohol

I find the whole Christmas and new year thing exhausting TBH. I really like it when one nice thing happens to me or my lot and treasure it. My sons Birthday is the 20th Dec, mine is Christmas eve and my daughters is the 12th Jan along with me usually doing the Christmas dinner (for 14 this year ) and new year celebrations I find it exhausting. One nice thing at a time would do for me.

 

I do enjoy it but I find it hard to get my head round all the events happening one after the other and feel a bit like it all passes so quick. My head cant keep up. And after avoiding it thus far I now have the festive cold so Im feeling a bit rubbish today.

 

Heres to 2010.

Mainly tired. I think it's all the stress - shouldn't be, we have it down to a fine art now. Not looking forward to MIL was the worst bit, and although the day came and went, I still feel stressy and tired. I think I need a walk along the beach to blow the cobwebs away.

[Alis girls]

Just tired now - also get stressed with extended elderly family - they do my head in. Tried to get out more and took YS to see Alvin and the Chipmonks - high squeaky voices made my nerves jangle but it was worth it for the popcorn Just glad its over.
