So, after last weeks debacle of a late ish night and no sleep I have had success!!

I go to rock choir and that’s on a Tuesday 8-9.30 ish. I left the house at 7.20am and didn’t get home till 9.50pm so a very very long day!

Felt quite good actually. Although not working and only 5 min drive so easier I guess.

But had hot choc, some food, even though I wasn’t hungry. Got to bed at 11.15 and slept till 6am.

Still tired today and some of that hungover nasty feeling is there (it’s not I don’t drink ) but compared to last week it’s a success.

But headache but I have my food for today and kind of know that food isn’t going to help me today so just need to grin and bear it and just wait till I get to bed tonight!!

That sounds really positive.

In terms of the headache; I'd speculate (and of course it is speculation) you may have found yourself a bit dehydrated. When I go to a particular evening monthly meeting, where I am required to talk for a chunk of it (deliver reports), I need to have a good drink either just before I go, or when I get home or I end up as you describe . I have proven it time and again, when I have the headache.

Maybe give that a whirl next week?

Thanks!
I do t think I was dehydrated last week. Think I drank about 1 1/2 lites from lunchtime to the evening. Possibly more. That’s loads more than usual.

Today might be a bit of that though

Give it a whirl and see what transpires. You could also have been a bit tense, based on last week's feeling decidedly ropey, but hopefully last night's and this morning's experiences will buoy spirits a bit.

I threw them out to stop me eating them.
I bought them in my cooker panic on Sunday but they have too many carbs.

On the way to throwing them out I ate loads so really had to throw them out!!
