Hi Guys I really need your help here, it is 22.53 GMT time and as I am a busy working mum by rights I should be in bed by 22.00 GMT yet I am still here myLotting. I love you all dearly and I say just one more post then I am off to bed but it never happens. Please help me by making sure I am in bed by 10 each night and if you spot me on here later than that please do what you must to send me to bed. Mondays & Wednesdays excluded as I don't get home from work until after 23.00. Will you do this for me? & how? Come on send me to bed. Ellie :D

Ellie. You are an hour and eight minutes late. So that's an hour earlier tomorrow night. Soon you'll be in bed before J if you keep this up. Now. say night night to your friends. Turn off the computer and go and get undressed and ready for bed. Don't forget to clean your teeth. I'll kiss you night night. XX Sleep tight.

Ellie333, you naughty girl! Staying up late, playing on myLot. Perhaps you could make yourself a Post-It note and stick it on the edge of your computer screen so that when you are online, you will see the note sticking on the edge as a reminder to not stay on longer than 10 p.m. Better yet, get off at 9:30 and read for 30 minutes!! Take care, Ellie 333. Good luck.

Hi PearlGrace, That is an excellent idea and is will then give me the chance to read my books for half an hour to. I may put that idea into practice. Thank you. Ellie :D

That might be hard on weekdays as it's an hour later here so it would allready be 23 pm here when it's 22 pm over in the UK and I'm in bed 10.30 pm tops on weekdays, and I usually stick to those times. I could send you a pm in advance to tell you to start rounding things up as you have only one hour left or something .

hahaha... this happens to most of us dah'ling! Now I have made it a point to draw PERIOD. There had been time when I couldn't wake up and always ran late for work. Now I am kind of over it. And If I am online around your sleep time, I will definitely terrify you to bed. LOL...

Hehe ISn't it funny how mylot turns us into children that need to be harassed into going to bed. I usually get home at 12:30am pacific time and I am busy mylotting until 5 or even 6 am!!!! Crazy I know! I really need to start sleeping. But since I don't usually start work unil 3:30 pm it usually works out okay. Although I don't get much else done.

lol I know what you mean. I woke up today at 2pm and that was early for me!!! I need to stop the mylotting though.. I've been meaning to deposit a check for 3 days now... Now I'm mylotting instead of doing it.

Do you know what's really scary Ellie? You're in bed before my toddler! He's sitting on the floor by me now, playing with a pack of cards quite happily and without any intention of going to sleep. His Dad is already snoring. It's not fair!! But I'm sorry, that's not what you wanted me to say is it. You wanted me to say ... GO TO BED! Now please, or you'll not be bright and fresh and bushy tailed in the morning.

Well, I work days and have to be up at 6 a.m. myself to get ready to go to work, and there have been times myself that I have been known to be on here after midnight myself. I will admit that sometimes once you get started posting in here, it is hard to stop and if you are in a posting mood, it is also easy to loose track of time as well. What can be done to stop it? I have no CLUE..

LOL Im just like you. I always say to myself "just acouple more posts" . . . hours later Im still on here. So before I get on I make a goal on how many posts Im going to do in one sitting. ( right now I'm only going to do 10 ). If I happen to see you online when you shouldn't be, I'll most likley just remind you that you have to go to bed. Im not a person to be harsh or yell. To bad im not a guy or would turn this whole "send me to bed" thing into something perverted! haha
