    Get a bit used to the hectic, then it's hard to wind down right?



    Absolutely. What I do is watch some dull, undemanding TV before getting some sleep. A good walk tomorrow will help too. Then some chores. Will have 'Wonderful Electric' on whilst doing the ironing. Feeling better after that is guaranteed.
  • Whilst I was in Manchester for the gigs I went to my friend's health food shop and bought a bottle of Sloe Gin.  My god its like petrol!
    Though we may deserve it, it will be worth it.
  • I put a book by the bed that I've read before.  Works like a charm.
  • *continues to invite people round*

    No, not really, youre right tho WW, I am not very good at being still and quiet... Maybe need more of a balance! But, if a bunch of them turned up now, I WOULD be 'happy as a clam' !! Should just go to sleep.
    And Keith, thank you for the winding down ideas... I don't own an ironing board, but will def try out the rest, cleaning needs doing, walking, reading, chilling..... It will happen.....
  • remember my bro having a drink of jamaica rum LOL he said it's like battery acid...LOL
    Just Keep Things Simple.....
    Love Goldfrapp.....
  • I guess it's kinda late there for a walk in the park.  That's a great way to chill  Oh!  Good Chill music would do it too.  But, then, again, what's wrong with being all wound up.  Especially on a weekend!  It may be the best way to wind down!
  • Yeah... Only my job keeps me 'UP AND HECTIC' all week, day & night, so should find a way of getting in some down time when I'm not there or out.... Zzzz.
  • Strangely, I can't listen to music before bedtime. Even the most relaxing, chilled out music is too stimulating and thought provoking.

    Undemanding TV it is. Which is what I'm going to do now. Goodnight everybody (and apologies for not putting this in the proper thread!)
  • @Laura - Am I allowed to ask what you do?
    Though we may deserve it, it will be worth it.
  • Night night keith. Muchos love to you x
  • @mode_devotion I run events and catering at a great big beautiful arts venue, theatre and music and comedy, and bars and food, and weddings, and producers... Pretty much rule my world!
  • Wow, that sounds like such an amazing and rewarding job.  I guess that 70 hours of work isn't so bad if its towards something worthwhile what makes you want to get up in the morning.
    Though we may deserve it, it will be worth it.
  • I cannot wind down to tv.  If I leave it on, I stay up.  So, Laura, what you're saying is that you live to work?  That just doesn't sound right, especially for you.  It seems having friends over is one of your ways to wind down.  Well, I'm sure you will wind down one way or another.
  • Live to work, work to live.... Get it all in there I say!!
  • Ah!  Your explanation of your work kind of explains.  It sounds like fun!  So, not only do you work to live but your work is living!

Howdy, Stranger!
