Beep

John is away at the moment (work related) and guaranteed when this happens, something in the middle of the night will start beeping! And it did. I was awoken at approximately 3: 15am by a beep beep noise, which sounded as if it was coming from inside the bedroom. Blurry eyed I wandered around looking for any battery operated device that was keeping me awake. Nothing. It kept going off every 30 seconds or so. I went into the hallway and looked up and the smoke alarm. Noooo please don't let it be that! I had images of the scene in FRIENDS where Phoebe's alarm wouldn't stop bleeping even after she'd taken out the batteries and hit it with a shoe! However, I wasn't sure how I'd even get it down from the ceiling in the first place so maybe a broom handle would cure it. It went off again and fortunately it wasn't coming from the smoke alarm. And then I remembered. The telephone handset that is usually in the loft room was on the stairs leading up to the room as I hadn't been bothered to go and place it on the recharger before I went to bed. So it was all my fault after all. Back to bed then. However, just over three hours later, John's poxy alarm clock starting beeping! ARGH! He always forgets to turn it off when he's not there. I had no idea what button to press so bashed them all and it finally stopped. I went back to sleep for the second time and because of the two interruptions, I didn't get up until 9:45ish. Good job I didn't have to go to work.

Over and out. BEEP!
