For me reading or doing sudoku in bed (I have my own room) is my preferred method of passing the time until sleep finally arrives. I'm always reluctant to get up and go downstairs in case I wake DH who will then have difficulty nodding off again. One tired person next morning is better than two....Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948117492116997244.post-91006971500562400472012-09-27T19:54:05.120+01:002012-09-27T19:54:05.120+01:00Thanks Shona (at least for the offer).
