There is plenty of good advice out there by the bucketful. <BR/><BR/>Personally, for what it's worth (we are all different after all) I find a Tisane last thing at night helful and then a little progesterone cream. If I still wake up and can't drop off again. I sit up crosslegged and chant softly until I'm too tired to do it anymore. Usually works.

Have just read last two blogs and there seems so much to comment on - insomnia is an absolute pain; the foods you guys eat sound like my idea of heaven; love time on my own too, but always glad when DAve is back (though rarely away these days) and, like you, I am a Capricorn too - drven yet constantly doubting self.

Did not sleep too good though when my children were small.What an absolute darling your Adrian is for bringing home all those lovely goodies, and PERFUME too, oooh love it. I agree absence makes the heart grow fonder, only trouble is mine is with me nearly 24/7.

Love that cafe by the seafront! Sorry about the insomnia, I had it terribly for a while after both children were born (once they'd started sleeping through I mean). It is crucifying having to get through your days in a fog. I've read tons of Leslie Kenton too. How ghastly and upsetting to hear about people emailing anonymously like that - why????

I used to be terrible when children were young I think needing to be awake for babies upsets the sleep pattern so much, but it wasn't till I did "Autogenic Training" that I started sleeping well again, Have you heard of it?

I think you are so right about the having a little time apart every now and then. It really sharpens the appreciation and makes you see the other person again. you can get something similar by spending time with your cariad (love, influence of welsh class, beautiful word) in the company of new people and looking across the room at them talking to someone and suddenly seeing them with a stranger's eyes. <BR/>atlantic village sounds grim.Elizabeth Musgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473705107636868753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-28239895670943069702007-05-07T05:02:00.000-11:002007-05-07T05:02:00.000-11:00I was at Atlantic Village on Friday, got a couple ...I was at Atlantic Village on Friday, got a couple of bargains in Ponden Mill, Banana Book shop and managed to avoid going into Cadburys.<BR/>There are some ratbags on the CL site - no names, no packdrill.

Everyone around here talks about it in the same tones as say catching the new Pinter play "you haven't been to Atlantic Village? you really must." but unless you tell me differently I will hold out. I have to say I HATE THE BIG SHEEP, it's expensive and crap. Hope James liked it though, our brood adore it. We went to Brocklands Adventure Park yesterday (a bit further up the A39) and that seemed much better value for money and had that hidden danger that only going down an ariel runway that looks as though it's been made by a couple of farmers with some old sleepers, a roll of sellotape and crash mat can give you.DevonLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10771725641771199612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-14637855729331755002007-05-07T02:44:00.000-11:002007-05-07T02:44:00.000-11:00Don't know about the tag, but I listed you by goin...Don't know about the tag, but I listed you by going to the edit page and copying in your blog address - I think. <BR/>Sorry about the insomnia.
