Bed is the new beer.

Chris Evans | 10:08 UK time, Tuesday, 3 March 2009

Ten o'clock last night and...

...that's it, we were ready for bed.

Sure my show had only gone off the air three hours ago, yes I'd only started making dinner an hour and ago and alright it may well have been that we'd only finished eating fifteen minutes ago but we were dog tired, we were done, we were as over as rover, whatever that means.

We came close to watching a dvd but it would have been more of a battle than a treat so we chose to turn in instead. A wise move and definitely the way forward.

Every day starts now for me working at the computer from six, grabbing the quiet whilst I can before Mummy and No' get to grips with the world. I'm on duty from ten through till eleven thirty and then it's back to Mum for babba and London bound for Dad to earn the dosh.

Life is simple, life is sweet, that's the way it is.

This time next week we wil be loading the car up to enjoy our first family overnight. We're off to Dorchester with a 'Small Business Special' based at the Wellworths store we featured on the air a few weeks ago.

U2 one week, a nice lady and her dream of running her own business the next. I'm up for all that.

Let's do it but let's get some sleep at the same time.

    It's the simple pleasures, don't ya think. I've started to go to bed later these days - and not waking up at 4am looking at the ceiling, wishing the alarm clock to go off.

    Don't forget - any HOle or L7 on Woman's Minute and I'll pop 20 of my hard earned squids in the Comic Relief hat.

    Feeling much happier today.

    It's good to talk.

    ... and as for the lady with the dream: I will write that book, honest! xx

    Amazing how tiring being a Dad can be....

    ....just think how bad it must be for the Mum

    It doesnt bear thinking about.

    Granddaughter slept through the night last night for the first time. Parents of course woke up in a panic. I remember it well.

    Morning CLP,

    There is no point in staying up just for the sake of it. The last couple of nights I have probably been asleep by 10pm, but I needed it, although this morning I did wake at 4:55 with no chance of getting back to sleep. But I just lay there listening to the dawn chorus, which was lovely.

    My late(er) nights are Thursday, after Grey's Anatomy and Friday, just because I can! I am usually an early to bed person - but that's just me.

    I can't hack late nights like I used to.

    Chris,

    How wonderful that Noah (No?) is letting you sleep! That baby is a star!

    Yes, it's changed days for you, but I know you are loving every minute!

    ALiB - do you find a night out on a Friday and you're kinda paying for it all weekend?

    When I was younger I used to go out Friday nights, Saturday night and a session on Sunday lunchtimes then be fresh as a daisy for work on Monday. Now tho - out on a Friday, rest of weekend under a duvet!!

    Doh, that hasn't happened to me for ages, spent ages on new post then a new blog - I'm going to post it here as well before reading the new one.

    Morning all, feeling c**p today, shivery, headache, massive zit on me cheekbone and allsorts.

    MizzDarcey (great name!), I am in the same situation with my mam at the moment; she is driving my brother and I around the bend. We know she is grieving for my dad (as we are) but she appears to be doing nothing to help herself. We love her and try our best but she has to be the stubbornist (I think that's a neologism, ie made up word, just learnt that this morning in my Bill Bryson Shakespeare book so am showing it off)on the planet. Cept perhaps me and both my daughters.

    Anyhow, the combination of worry, guilt, pity and responsibility is not a fun one.

    Bingers mate, don't be so sensitive, you know what a blog star you are!

    Off to watch "Elizabeth" (again) on the sofa under the duvet.

    Chez, well done for moving on, must have been a nightmare though.

    Ps, have somehow hit the "Overwrite" function on my computer, does anyone know how to get rid of it - derr!

  • Comment number 8.

    Chris, there are no words to describe the feelings of exhaustion in the first few weeks. I'd like to say you'll get used to it, but I never did!

    Try and slow down a bit or you will run out of puff.

    Deev - exactly re Friday nights.

    Saturday is the only day I really try not to set an alarm. But you can guarantee that I'm awake by 8:30 at the latest. I guess getting older also means that I've lost the ability to lie in until midday!!

    Boleyngirl, hope you feel better soon. Sounds like you're doing the right thing, watching TV and hiding under the duvet xx

    Re sleep - do you ever sleep normally again after children?!

    boleyngirl - sorry you're not feeling to good, great film to watch though however many times you've seen it!

    Thanks for your comment about the name - I tried loads before it would let me choose one that hadn't been used and after I thought of this one, I realised it had a mixture of all the grandchildren's names in!

    Pshaw. The Badger spent last night on a camp bed...having 'gone to bed' at 8pm...and professed it to be the worst night's sleep he has ever had. I doubt this m'self, but there you go. (He is currently working away...I have not condemned him to the shed...which we haven't got one of, but you get the point) I didn't sleep well either, as am still in the process of getting used to the new Sett...and I'm not sure if it was a real noise or me snoring which woke me up on several occasions...then Terry's dulcet tones came all too soon...

    Anyhoo, Christophe, I reckon it is always better to go to bed when you're tired rather than try to 'prolong' the day for the sake of it...then if you do wake up early, you can cherish the time alone...in the morning...when the light is pure and all you can hear is the sound of bird song.

    Mind you, round our way it's mainly seagull song, so it ain't that pretty...although the beach is lovely for a dawn walk!

    Boleyngirl...am the same...all the 'youngsters' think I'm proper hard core!

    which I am not

    takes me the rest of the week to catch up
    love

    ps Christophe, sleep when you can...Noah will...as I'm hoping will Tash...

    pps No'?????? No, no, no...no is the first word babies and animals learn...it shouldn't be his name! And it sounds like Jim from Vicar of Dibley...

  • Comment number 16.

    Hey Chris and gang,

    I go to bed at 10ish every night during the week, if not earlier! I then have a bit of time for reading before I put my head down for my 8 hours, I'm getting old I know. Fridays and Saturdays I love staying up late (not that I ever get a lie-in) cos I know I can catch up during the week. It works for me.
    One thing I would suggest is that you maybe cook dinner earlier in the day (ie stew, chilli, bolognese) so you can eat as soon as you get home and Tash isn't going to bed on a full stomach. Hope I'm not being too bossy!

    Em xx

    PS I record things like Mad Men and we watch them at the weekend x

  • Comment number 17.

    CLP - There's nowt wrong with going to bed at 10 oclock....it's when you wake up and think you've had a good night, look at the clock and it's only midnight!!! But I know from experience of having babies, you sleep when you can! Then when they fly the nest is starts all over again when the grandkids come along and they have sleepovers!! But hey, that's what life is all about.

    ps Please don't shorten Noah's name, it's too gawjus.

    Hi all

    Been so busy of late not had time to pass comment on anything here. Doesn't mean I haven't been keeping up to date tho.

    Big hugs to anyone feeling 'grot'. Duvet days are the best treatment. Good chance to catch up on all those films we've been meaning to watch!

    Thanks for the up-dates Tash and the photo's. It's great to see the little chap doing so well.

    Repeating alot of folk before me I know....BUT....WOW! what a show on Friday. Just wish I'd been in town for the full-on experience.

    Chris - please don't call your beautiful son 'No'.... poor thing, will only end up being confused later on.

    'EEEY SEXY BOOTS..... 'EEEYY SEXT BOOTS...... 'EEEY, 'EEEEY' 'EEYYYYY SEXYY BOOTS.....

    Greetings Ter The CLP And Everybody....

    Bingo Star ere.....

    CLP - 'ow can life be simple when yer sat daily at the mixer of a national and INDEED international radio show!!!!
    Mind you a suppose years of media work aka experience makes the situation easier.... abit!!!!!
    As for the 'over like rover' bit!!! Think it might either be ter do with a dog or Rover cars or what we turned Rover cars inter!!! Aka another part of British manufacturing been given away!!

    Okay next bit of........

    Bingo Star's Experience Of The U2 On The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Roof - PART 2 -

    So after The U2's wheels 'ad whisked them off arooound from R2 ter BC 'ouse... A realised am glad a didn't bring me accoustic guitar with me ter try and get The Edge ter sign it!!!!
    But then aving said that... imagine me guitar sticking out in front of the cameras and INDEED The Edge, instead of me watch!!
    Maybe actually that would ave attracted some extra attention from The Edge and 'e might ave signed it... or borrowed it and done a 15 second gig for us there and then on the pavement using me guitar!!!!
    And it's noot a cheap 'n nasty one!!! Na... tested about 15 before a settled for this one as it 'ad the deepest.... bassiest sound... a beautiful piece of craftmanship... sorry craft... personship
    Either way sometimes... a guitar and a newly born baby 'Boy'!!!!... aka Noah ave bigger similarlities than yer might realise!!
    Both created with love and passion... both delicate, finely tuned and ter be treated with love and care... and noot a good idea ter bring ter a crowd of crayzee U2 wrocas.... both could easily end up giving off an awful sounding 'igh pitched squeeeel!!!!!!
    So az The U2 'ad moved ter the front of the action, a thought 'I Will Follow'!!!! Yes it waz time for me ter follow U2 arooound ter BC 'ouse too and see what's 'appening. I could 'ear the crowds of people 326 yards away in 'The Streets That Ave No Name'!!!!
    When a goot arooound there it waz now dark and my goodness, the streets did all ave a name!!!
    This waz noot a place maintained like Birkenhead's streets!!!!
    There were absolute crowds of people... 5,000 in fact!
    I asked a steward what waz about ter 'appen. They told me U2 are gonna play a small gig up on the roof of BC 'ouse. I thought what a 'Beautiful Day'!!!!! This iz!!
    So I made my way to a good spot, along way back az it's so 'igh up.
    When a found a nice spot a stood on the kerbside. This iz the bit CLP and U2 don't get ter see. Aka the power trippin' nutters who are stewards for a dee. Well noot even a dee... an afternoon... well noot even an afternoon.... 'alf an evening!!!
    There waz one steward rudely shouting at the odd person in the crowd, through a mega phone,. even though they were only 8 feet max from 'er!!!!
    She waz shouting at them ter stand on the pavement, similar ter 'Wake Up Dead Man'!!!!!!
    Noot ter stand on the road, even though directly in front of them waz about 500 'undred people in the roadside!! Some people were looking annoyed 'All Because Of You' a thought!!!
    I looked at 'er and realised, it waz 'er moment of glory!!!! It waz like 'The Zoo Station'!!!!
    Little did a realise at the time... a short while later they were gonna close the whole road off ter traffic anyway!!!!! Jobsworth or what??? She waz noot the 'Sweetest Thing'!!!!
    It's then a realised there's a 'igh chance 'er dee job must be either a council planning officer, 'ealth And Safety Officer... or a Wheel Clamper.... but she didn't look fat enough or bald 'eaded enough ter be the latter!!!
    When they opened the road... (when a say opened actually they closed it... ter traffic) (A mean opened it ter pedestrians only... aka U2 gig goers... even though most of us there didn't realise when we left our abodes we would be going ter a U2 gig!!!) We all rushed forward for a better view point!!!! 'Running To A Standstill' we all were!!
    Everywhere there were people waiting for the gig ter start... mobile tv trucks/ rigs, press, balconies filled... 'otel room windows filled.... 'Windows In The Skies'!!! Even office workers in office blocks noot gone 'ome... but staying late for a look at WROCK.... in action. It waz like 'A City Of Blinding Lights'!!!!
    Even on the roof of the beautiful All Souls Church were a congragation of..... excited souls!!!!!!!
    Maybe they thought 'The Saints Are Coming'!!!!
    A knew for sure... after travelling the world... coming ter London and the Beeb and doing this... it wazza 'Sort Of 'omecoming'!!!!! For the band.... even though they are Irish noot English!!!!
    By know, sorry now, a waz surrounded by a crowd... it waz like being 'Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of'!!!!! But a didn't wanter get out of there!!!!! Total NYET!!!!! (No in russian).
    Then about 6.45..... out came CLP.... onter the top of BC 'ouse.... and 'e announced...... YEW.... TWO aka U2!!!!!!
    Out came the band ter a roar from the crowd.... the gig began!!! 'A Celebration'!!!!! It's then a realised for sure... 'Some Day's Are Better Than Others'!!!!!! (see the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Digital Red Button... ter see it)

    PART 3 - I'll bang on termoz!!!!!

    DIG IT..... asaid..... DIG IT..... DIG IT 09!!!!!!!!!!!

    Not sure where you're based but we're having another wee gathering in London on 4th April - London Bridge area.

    Probably meet up during the afternoon and then have a mela somewhere. Some of us are staying overnight, others not so.

    If you're not on FB, email me on the hotmail addy above!

    We had a London meet last Sept and it was fun! Great to put faces to names and share the general silliness of life. Basically we sat outside a pub in Docklands for the afternoon, had some food, lots of beverageisms and enjoyed the company.

    Hi Chris

    Only another 2 months until Noah will sleep all night (based on my experience anyway). The key then is to NOah at midnight and then all go to bed. I promise he will sleep the night through. If you feed him any earlier for his last feed then he will waken during the night. Tash is lucky that you look after Noah for a bit each morning as it will be the only time she gets to shower and have breakfast. But it is all worth it and it does get easier speaking from a mother of a 5 month old.

    ...and AliB and ebbwbeth, similar happened to me too...cep I found the book about 2 years later...having had many altercations with the local bibliotheque...so I smuggled it back, in a cake, and left it behind something obscure in the reference section...

    sh!

    Well helloooooo!!!

    Back from meeting and my worst nightmare is about to unfold. My desk is being moved - into the middle of ...
    Marketing..... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGHHHHHHH!!!!!!

    Why me??????

    Boleyngirl, hope you feel better.

    Diva, if you wear that green Twirlette leotard i bet the camera will find you in July!!!

    sparkle, what's wrong with that?

    BeesMum, no promises

    Eb, mile and 2 sugars please.....

  • Comment number 88.

    Trust me Tinsel. The green Twirlette leotard was consigned to the "never again" bin many many years ago. Together with the white and green Twirlette mini dress for marching, the knee-high white socks, American Tan tights, white plimsoles and marchy peaked hat - white with green plumage, naturally! Genuinely sad at the misplacement of my baton. We had a good relationship, y'know!

    You'll just have to make do with the pic of me on FB practising with a broom handle!!

    Marketing - not all bad, surely! Beats accounts!

    (runs to hide from baggy, dissing, matt and other bloggy bean counters out there!)

    Poor Tins,

    Although I can think of worse places your desk could be moving to......

    Middle of the M25
    North Pole
    Bagdad
    The list goes on.

    Anyhow - I'm almost outta here. Off home soon and on my way home I shall purchase Heat (other very trashy celebrity gossip magazines are available). Then before I sit down I shall do my ironing. Got fajithas (sp) for tea - can't wait. Then a bath and a cuppa with the Mistresses.

    Have a good evening everyone.

    Over and Out

    Think the Boy is hungary...just brought the contents of his 'treat' box to me, maybe I should do his dinner!

    Oh just reading that back I didn't mean I was going to have a bath with the Mistresses - I'm going to have one before I watch it.

    Phew glad I cleared that up!

    LOL!! Sorry if any of you are marketing people out there but the ones I know seem to be really ... annoying. (Don't want to be moderated again!)

    Me and Marketing go together....no offence taken - am a tough ole boot (you ask the beloved).

    Thanks for the tea...a life saver.

    Off for the mega mile at the pool, dinner then maybe a glass of something chilled and white with the mistresses.

    Have a great evening all.

    Excellent. Had forgotten Mistresses is on this eve.

    Christophe...I think the idea of you knocking up tonight's dinner earlier on in the day sounds like a spiffer. Good luck with the slo-cooker!

    one lump or two

    See you at 5.08 and on the morrow. When I shall be wearing my sequinned Debbie McGee swimsuit which consists of not a lot. Chez, it's a shame I can't make the meet as it doesn't often get an airing.

    Fortunately.
