      We spent too much time in the pub last night!

      Never again!

      I've just got into the office! Some idiot decided that it may be a good idea to shut the M6 this morning!

          Up at 5 to get on train for 2 hour ride to clientco every monday morning, then sleep near clientco all week. Arrived late this morning due to heavy snowfall in eastern Holland and 1.5 hour drive to go 12 kms to the station.

            How exciting, have a great first day.

            I am up at 4:30am most days, but only because baby refuses to sleep later, no matter what I try. I quite like it now, gives me a chance to put a bit of slap on before work at least.
            Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

              7am is the earliest I can manage and even then it is bloomin' hard work to get out of bed.

                    I didn't advocate the drugging of babies till I had one.

                      Hopefully this will work for you. Has for mine and friends I've told about it. Read it somewhere on the interweb....

                      Anyway, set your alarm for 45 mins before baby normally wakes (ours used to wake at 4:00 every morning) Disturb them somehow, but don't wake them, sneaking in the room and stroking her hair used to work for ours, then go back to bed. Do this for 3 days in total, and hopefully they'll sleep past their normal wakeup routine. It's all about disturbing the set routine apparently. We've now got a little girl who goes 7pm-7am, thankfully.
