those voices in my head !!
4am this morning my mind was buzzing with swaps, Christmas and things I had to do.... so I tossed & turned * willing myself to try to get at least another hour & a half sleep * I thought of getting up and writing a list of all that was going through my mind but I didn't - telling myself that I would remember in the morning. At 6.30am I jumped up out of bed, grabbed a scrap of paper and pen and guess what? All I could remember was that I had to buy Christmas cards for the swap....
so I have just put a gorgeous little notebook next to my bedside table (Alison @ Brocantehome sent it to me awhile back), with a pen and I am going to write things down during the night whenever I need to. I have brainstorms sometimes - designing things and getting tremendous ideas only to have them float off somewhere never to be thought of again. The theory is, if I write it down, I will get off to sleep again and wake up with all my tremendous ideas in the notebook. that is of course if I can read the writing that I did when half asleep and without my glasses

It's it annoying to have ideas & then not be able to remember them. I hope now that you have your notebook that you will never miss and idea in the night again.
it really does help when you do that, it is a way for your mind to release what it's thinking about and let you get back to sleep - it works!
I have heard of that before, they say it's great to have a notebook and pen beside your bed. Like a journal. You can write what ever is on your mind, list, ideas, thoughts.
So, did you ever remember the rest..LOL
I am so forgetful it drives me crazy and my husband too,sometimes.
I should do the same too, but I would have to sneak off into the ensuite loo, as not to drive Mark crazy...lol
I have a notebook too, it's really an artists sketchbook, that stays right by my bedside. Just yesterday I was in the middle of a math lesson with Hannah and this idea for a Christmas ornament popped into my head. I ran and got my book, made a little sketch, took a deep breath (ha!) and got back to H.'s math! Those little books are life savers, how ever you use them!
