Huh had forgotten how annoying late early morning feeds are. Baby fed at 4.30am and now happily snoozing next to me. I'm awake and no hope of sleep now as light and head spinning with organising the day ahead. Toddler will be awake soon anyway. Moan, moan....


Sack that. Toddler just shouted 'out, out'. Think again, kiddo, you're staying right where you are until at least 6am....


Anyone else 'up'?

Not up for a night feed- still got a few weeks to go until that all kicks in again- but if Seb wakes in the night or I wake up for any other reason (last night was because my husband "needed a pee, where's my dressing gow ?" grrrrr!) then I too lie awake and it's utter crap :(

I found a bedside radio really helpful. I'd have it on really low so no disturbance for anyone else, also it meant that I had to concentrate hard to focus on what was being discussed. This meant my brain didn't start whirring about all the other stuff that usually comes to the fore in the wee small hours. And invariably I fell back to sleep .


I still use it now - it has one of those useful buttons which means I can set it for 30 minutes or an hour or so then it turns itself off. It has been one of my baby best buys I think.


Chantelle - getting ready for work at 5.30am ::o - as my teens would say 'respect'!

      So you don't feel safe in London, but you don't want to live elsewhere? What do you do, barricade yourself in your home and never venture out? I have my eyes (sic)  open. Yes there is crime in London. That doesn't make London "lawless".

      Well good for you, I don't feel safe. And saying why don't I go and live somewhere else is crass.  Yes London is lawless, open your eys and see the reality.

      Also, as discussed on another thread, that particular  assailant was possibly (we don't know)  mentally ill. Whereas I'm guessing most crimes locally are   committed for money, (ie things that can be sold), food (if someone is really desperate, or to sell) or just pure mischief (like the recent goings on on Peckham Rye). I'm a 76 year old woman, and I feel safe on the streets, and I frequently go to Central London. If you seriously don't feel safe living here, why on earth don't you go and live somewhere else?! It's absolute nonsense to say London is lawless, and it's absolute nonsense to say the police stand by and do nothing. There will always be crime. It used to be cutpurses and highwaymen. And organised gangs of thieves. And people like Jack the Ripper.

      No it is not, it is a fact whether you like it or not. Do you feel safe on the streets, because I don't, do you go too central London, I don't as I don't feel safe. No one knows if someone is i) carrying a weapon or a knife and ii) you don't know what will trigger them to use it. So feel free to live in your bubble, but the reality is London is lawless and the police stand by and do nothing.
