have pm,ed you

Pebbles, you are amazing to have done so much. At that time of night a lot of people would simply have turned over in bed, grumbled about being woken up and gone back to sleep.

Good on you, and I hope you've had a private message to put your mind at rest now.

Thanks Molly, unfortunately no pm :(

It's the one positive of being an insomniac that I'm awake to hear people shouting out in the middle of the night!!!

I'm also a very light sleeper and hear every noise during the night.

Did anybody see the BBC programme last night about the 4 or 5 people they've taken to study, who suffer with sleep problems? There was one woman who gets up in the middle of the night baking cakes etc. and then finally gets to sleep around 5am for a couple of hours.

Very interesting.

Didn't see this but might check it out on iplayer. Sounds like the woman you mention has two 'sleeps' which may actually be a more natural sleep pattern than the straight 8 hours.

Iv chased away many a shop thief from our local newsagents on East Dulwich Road. Every time i hear shouting i look out to see the poor shop keeper giving chase to the alcoholics who help themselves to his stock. I have managed to catch a grand total of 4 and still counting... I just see myself as your friendly neighborhood superhero!! Lets keep the thugs out of Dulwich!

What do you do when you catch them? Serious question. Do you give them a slap, or a stern talking to?

[pebbles]

Ha ha Otta, I think of that You've been tangoed advert from years ago when he used to walk around slapping people
