Well just so you all know, last night was night 3 of ‘The Nose Plaster Trial’ and still not much luck! But Wends, I have decided to take your advice (or rather, Steven went to the chemist and informed me that I WILL be taking your advice), and going to do an Olbas steam tonight before bed….
Here’s hoping!

Ok, we have a problem here. Now, this is very embarrassing, but here goes:
Normally, it is the man that snores and the woman that moans about it and ends up sleeping in the next room. But not in this house… Yes, that’s right – I snore! (Cue blushing and squirming…) It is a problem I have developed in the last year and it is getting worse. Last night, Steven almost went to sleep on the couch – something we have made a vow never ever to do in our marriage! But i don’t blame the guy – it must be soooo frustrating to try and sleep when you have Foghorn Ronnie next to you! You see, I have always struggled with my sinuses, but since I started yoga, I can only breathe through my nose, and since my sinuses get totally clogged up at night, this is where the problem comes in. APPARENTLY it is not a normal snore it is more like a nasal snorting type of thing… He even recorded it the other night for me to hear in the morning …. how MORTIFYING! So, on Saturday Stevie decides he has had enough and goes to Clicks to buy earplugs as well as…… NASAL PLASTERS! Oh yes, people – things are getting sexy in the Cobley household! They are these plaster type things that you stick on your nose and it is supposed to pull on the nose so that it widens the nasal passage and VOILA! NO MORE SNORING! Errrrrr, not quite……! After reading the box this morning (two nights with nasal plasters and earplugs), we discover that they take six nights before they start working and the earplugs hurt Stevie’s ears…! So, night time is great fun! I wake up feeling slightly abused from being moaned at, nudged and shoved all night, and Steven wakes up exhausted from lack of sleep! What do we do???? Any suggestions are welcome!
ps the good news is, at least I have been falling asleep the last three nights……;0)
