The budget worry and compromise doesn't go away (sorry - or at least it hasn't for us!) but honestly, once you're actually in your own house a veil will be lifted and it will all just kind of click. I hope you manage to get some better sleep soon. xxGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435067378873425197.post-59992031746796713182015-10-29T20:59:30.852+00:002015-10-29T20:59:30.852+00:00Are cashews and marzipan really just for Christmas...Are cashews and marzipan really just for Christmas? If so I have about twenty years of oops's behind me.<br /><br />Another poor sleeper here, mostly pain keeping me awake in my case (which is kinda unavoidable when one has duff joints) and a brain that only shuts down for the night if I stop exercising it early enough in the evening (which I could totally do something about and yet never do). I hope things calm down for you soon and you can get more sleep.Annie Cholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608057589525908147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435067378873425197.post-88542473867631672712015-10-28T23:42:26.230+00:002015-10-28T23:42:26.230+00:00Obviously a lot on your mind...

I've only started exercising properly since Olly started school. I'm sure that moving into your new home will help ease the sleep worries. I like you current scrap book style. <br />Leanne xxLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617604296746784414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435067378873425197.post-68401423598774951922015-10-26T12:54:08.508+00:002015-10-26T12:54:08.508+00:00It's no wonder you can't sleep properly wh...It's no wonder you can't sleep properly when you have so much on your mind. So try not to let worrying about not being able to sleep add to the problem.

It's amazing how long you can cope on less sleep...it'll come back - I expect when you're settled in your new home. I really enjoyed your worry cure post too.

I'm sure everything will settle down for you once you move in to your new home. The deadlines will vanish and you will see you have all the time in the world to furnish and decorate. A house, like a garden, is never really finished. Look after yourself Sarah.

I hate the commercialisation. But I do like the next festive season very much. Sorry you're not getting good sleeps at the moment. It's hard when you have stuff whizzing round your head. I try to do the yoga relaxation - focusing on relaxing each part of the body - and that usually helps. Take care and I hope you have a good half term xA coastal plothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212023381295784867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435067378873425197.post-75007665990046558592015-10-25T21:12:42.064+00:002015-10-25T21:12:42.064+00:00I'm glad you're nearly into your new home,...I'm glad you're nearly into your new home, it will be a wonderful moment. I love your idea of Hallowe'en, that's more my sort of thing too. Cashews are a year round thing in this house. Nuts are healthy! And that covers marzipan too. I'm sorry you're still struggling to sleep. I've probably said this before, but exercise is the thing that helps me most. I didn't have much at all at the end of last week and I slept really badly. Anyway, I hope it improves for you soon.

If it has been a bad day I have to concentrate to get to ten and if it has been a good day I have to concentrate to choose the best ten. Either way, falling asleep thinking of happy times is more likely to lead to happy dreams. alice chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969805206040091585noreply@blogger.com
