Hi. I was up with DD for about an hour it so at 2.30 this morning. I don't manage too well at work on a bad nights sleep.

How do you Mumma's manage at work if you've been up with you LO during the night?

I just do because I have no other choice. I hope your day isn't too bad

Lots of coffee, might even have soft drink at lunch time.. But I just have to get through. There were times when I got a colleague to drop me home (and collect me next morning) as I didn't feel ok to drive, but I made it through the day..

My survival after a crappy night is second breakfast. For some reason grabbing a bacon and egg muffin on the way to work just gives me that bit extra energy and I am not so reliant on snacks to pull me through the day. Also tea and coffee. Normally I stick to one coffee at work (we have an awesome coffee machine), but I will often grab a second on hard days.
