Himself does that too.

I've suggested separate beds, he took offence


All I want to do is get myself on a reasonable bit of mattress, with perhaps a bit of sheet covering me (he can have the duvet, I don't want it), read for a little bit without him muttering 'have you not finished that arsing page yet' and 'do we have to have Blackpool Illuminations in here' and then not have to fight him off when he's having a bad dream.

When I go to sleep, I usually lie in one position all night. When he goes to sleep he tosses and turns and mutters and shouts and talks and waves his arms around in the air and kicks and sweats his sweatie bits off cos he's got all of the duvet wrapped around him, then he tries to cover me with it and puts pillows on my head (??) and shuffles me off the bed so that I'm lying braced against my bedside cabinet with one foot on the floor and you all know that if you have bits hanging off the bed the underbed monster will get you and pull you into the depths of hell AND I JUST WANT TO GO TO ******* SLEEP.

Phew.

Glad I got that out of my system.

I'm sleeping ok now, been in the spare room for 4 months!! Still have insomnia but I can put the light on without ww3!!

Aww I shouldn't whinge about him - I wouldn't be without him and I missed him when I was up in Brisbane and he was down in Sydney for that long, long, long 5 months.

Well, I missed him until we had to share a bed together again

Tell him to lay off the crate of whisky of an evening

Yes, give him a break, think what he has to put up with!!

At least he doesn't go on a public forum and whinge about your snoring and farting.

And that weird noise you make in the middle of the night

JTL

Strange - they fall asleep in front of the telly with it blaring out and all the lights on, yet try read a page in bed with a small bedside lamp on and all hell lets loose

I feel your pain

How do you know he doesn't?

Its very lucky for you that I don't live in Qld anymore :shakesfist:

He can't even blame that, SC! He works in Rail and they have lots of random blood and breath testing, so the most he dares drink on an evening is a bottle of beer.

So, anyway, when I'm left to my own devices, I like to sleep pretty much in a recovery position kind of manner, with the pillow at an angle under my head and the arm crossing my body and if my back is playing up, with another pillow under my knee.

You expect me to be scared of a girl called Dreamy?

Dreamy in this instance is short for 'Dreamy "grudgeholder" Thunderthighs'

Men tremble (as indeed does the very earth upon which I walk) as I bestride the world like a mighty Colossus.

There are only 2 types of man not scared of me - stupid ones and dead ones.

*Muahahahahahahahâ„¢

(*patented Evil Villain Cackle)

Being stupid, I am clearly immune!
Colossus is a great word. I like Titan too. Buttocks makes me laugh, especially if said in Forest Gump fashion, butt-ocks!

Unfortunately I stole (and adapted) the phrase from Willy Shakespeare - its about the only quote I can remember from doing Julius Caesar for English Lit O level - although in my defence it was 25 years ago.

I have a thing about the word 'infiltrate'

Yes, I muse upon words too. I like onomatopoeic words too, like Toot or bang!
I am a bit strange I suppose.
