Books, Shoes, Snoring and Blogs

Happy Monday! It's a beautiful sunny day here in London but my eyelids are sagging, thanks to my husband's wonderful snoring. At 5:30 a.m., I finally decided to abandon bed and get up to start the day's work. Any solutions to snoring out there? I've tried kicking, screaming, shoving, pushing, strangling and empty threats...

Today's I'm over at Mel's lovely blog, High Heels and Books Deals, talking about books and showing off my shoes! If you have a sec, head over and say hi!

And a new blog to introduce you to! Fellow writer and RNA'er Nikki Goodman has started a blog. Since I've babbled on to her how wonderful the world of bloggers is, drop by when you can.

Finally, a big congrats and lots of sparkly sweet cupcakes to DJ Kirkby, who's just launched her debut novel Without Alice with great reviews! Woohoo!

Now I'm going off to nap.

  1. Have a pleasant nap. I'm off to check out the great new links.

  2. You can get adhesive strips that maintain the nasal passages open in most drugstores...
    Or a rhinoplasty can stop snoring and drastically improve the quality of his sleep and incidentally win you quiet nights. ; j

  3. Thanks Mason!

    Alesa, I think a rhinoplasty is in order. I'm feeling snoring range at the moment!

  4. Hubs sometimes snores -- but not often, thankfully. Sorry for your rude awakening.

    Lovely interview!

  5. Vicki, you're lucky. And thanks! :)

  6. Maybe we should call it Snogging from now on. Every time he snores you blog. It'd be great.

    ReplyDelete
  7. sorry - no solutions for snoring. Earplugs maybe?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Amy, he'd love that! On this side of the ocean, snogging means necking! Ha! There'd never be any snoring again...

  9. Ha the snoring hubs, mine still wont admit to snoring, maybe you should try sleeping to music

    ReplyDelete
  10. Joanna, mine didn't either. During a bout of sleeplessness and fury, I actually taped him and played it back. My efforts were not appreciated.

  11. If you find out how to stop snoring, email my husband, who's convinced I snore. Naturally, I don't. He's delusional and should see a specialist of his own. Hope you get a good nap. I'm off to check out your guest post and friend's new blog. ...And maybe bake cupcakes...

  12. my lovely husband snores too - only solution is - if he falls asleep in front of the TV, leave him there. Decent kip for the both of us - although one of us wakes up a little stiff. Ooo-er, missus.

  13. Separate bedrooms. It's the only way.

    I never snore myself, although I do sometimes purr in my sleep.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I feel your pain. Nasal strips help, but only if the person who snores will wear them!

    Lovely interview over at Mel's place and I've hopped over to Nikki's pad, as well, which looks full of very cool things.

  15. Hmm, snoring solutions...my mum swears by prodding my dad in the ribs till he turns onto his side. That stops him snoring. :)

    Either that or hold his nose till he wakes up. lol.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Enjoy that nap, I'm off to check out your links too.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Wish I had a snoring remedy, but unfortunately mine usually involves shoving the person until they wake up and I can shush them properly :-)

    ReplyDelete
  18. No tips for snoring -- well, actually ... wake your husband up. That way he has to be awake too and he won't be snoring. Chances are when he falls back asleep he won't start snoring again right away.

    ReplyDelete
  19. New links and shoes and naps--sounds like a great Monday!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Okay, I'll check out the links. ALways god to meet new people in Blogdom. And I use a CPAP because I snore. I can't believe how much better I sleep. I highly recommend them.

  21. My hubby snores too, mostly soft intermittent snores so just as I'm falling off, here they come again.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Has he tried those nasal strips? they're probably the same ones that Alesa is talking about.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Why did you have to mention napping? Now I want a nap!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Snoring!? My husband snores too. No help unfortunately. If I learn of some though, you'll be the first to know.

    I'm going to check out those links now...

  25. I have been known to..ahem..breathe heavily in my sleep. My darling husband pretends I don't (but then he does sleep the sleep of the dead). Sometimes I even wake myself up, but having a separate bed from myself is clearly not going to work. I could be the first person to have to wear earplugs because of their own snoring..I mean, heavy breathing.

    So I do have sympathy, Talli. Even if it's slightly warped.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Erm... unfortunately I am the snorer in any relationship. Ahem.

    Off I go now to hide in deep shame!

    p.s. loved your shoes!! Well the leopard print one mostly!! :-)

    Take care

  27. First, thanks for following my blog! I do love new friends!

    And congrats on the upcoming book release. How wonderfully exciting!

    ReplyDelete
  28. No magic answer for snoring. Getting him to turn over might help. Or not. Going to follow your links now.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hey thanks for that, I'm heading over to all right now. Have a good one x

    ReplyDelete
  30. Your own bedroom. I cannot stress how this can help. It's also terribly British, I believe. Thanks for posting on Patricia's site today. Now I've followed you!

    ReplyDelete
  31. OMG such wonderful things happening around the blog! Thanks a bunch Talli for introducing me to a newby and for sure you know where I'll be directly after, who doesn't love to talk about books and shoes?!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oh you poor dear. Hey, if he doesn't get good rest with all that snoring, maybe he needs a sleep study to see if he needs a CPAP...it may help him and you!
    Thanks for the links, will go check them out!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Thanks for the links -- have more reading to do. I really enjoyed reading your interview & seeing your shoes.

    I hope the snoring problem is solved so you're able to get enough sleep.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Thanks for all the snoring solutions! And for the lovely comments over a the High Heels interview. Really appreciate it!:)

  35. Hi, it's been a lovely day here at Bournemouth, loved the read, most interesting.

    Take care.

  36. Hope Alesa's advice works!

    And thank you for the links.

    ReplyDelete
  37. OH! You too! I've jabbed and poked and shoved and whispered and...
    Nothing works! I tend to fall asleep anyway, but *still*.
    Hmm, sorry, I don't seem to have a solution. Maybe different routines at night? A new pillow? One of those self-raising beds?

    ReplyDelete
  38. drinking copious amounts of bourbon always helps me to sleep through the spouses snoring.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Oh dear, we've both been known to snore so my sympathy's with the poor deafened neighbours.

    Off now to check out your links.

  40. Separate bedrooms. This will solve other medical conditions such as duvet hogging syndrome and cold feet affliction.

    ReplyDelete
  41. My hubby's snoring has driven me batty for the past week! Must be something in the air!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Sorry, my Sweetheart has apnea, and he refuses to got to the doctor. he has to let me go to sleep first, or else I don't stand a chance.

    Thanks for the links, I'll check them out now!

    ReplyDelete
  43. *Sigh*

    I think it comes down to a choice: a cut throat razor or ear plugs. I chose the latter.

    ReplyDelete
  44. LOL! I love that you taped him and played it back! I can't just see that happening and since your efforts weren't appreciated I can imagine his reaction too. I'd try those adhesive strips that Alesa mentioned and if that doesn't work just stick a couple more on... ;)

    Congrats to Nikki Goodman and DJ Kirkby too!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Ahhhhhh......I remember naps. :)

    Heading out to check out your friends right now.

  46. I love my sweet patootie but man oh man is he a snorer. Here's the hard won truth as I see it. He doesn't have a snoring problem - I have a snoring problem. Back when where I'm sitting now used to be a day bed in the downstairs den what I used to do is leave S.P.'s side before I felt like sticking things in his eyeballs. I'd make myself a hot chocolate and come down here with whatever book I was reading and sip and read and then go to sleep. I'd wake up refreshed. If I waited too long though - I couldn't sleep and I'd be murderous. Much better if possible to leave before anger arrives. Now I'm back wearing ear plugs that mysteriously work right at the moment.
    gawd. good thing we love them.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Oh husband snores...but he's improved now. Now he says I snore! LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  48. You know some folk do a 'Food Diary'? Maybe you could do a 'Snore Diary'! It could be there are things that are kicking off the roars/snores - alcohol, certain food, too hot/too cold... I'm just guessing, but it might help to spot any triggers?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Hubby snores on his BACK but not his side, so I make him roll. I have seen cases though, where the only real answer is ear plugs.

    ReplyDelete
  50. This is a product that was created by a dentist and is being marketed by my sister's company (she holds a PhD). The anti-snoring device has been approved by the Canadian and US health regulatory bodies.
