I've just spent ages working out what that strange noise was. It was a strange, rhythmic, vibrating noise.

It was my OH snoring in the bath!!

Oh dear at least hes above the water line lol

PMSL Maggy - good job you heard him, he could have slipped under the water!

Tina xx

Lol....wonder if he'd have slipped under if I'd left him...lol..

Oooh norty norty! lol

you would of forgotton the noise and carried on with what you were doing, even if the snores had turned to bubbles sounds, bless him,
hope he didnt have water too hot

He's well insured anyway...lol...

Don't know about hot water Julie Ann, I bet it was cold when I woke him up!

lmao
he be claiming he feels all dizzy next

I know the feeling.

I spent about 10 minutes late one night in bed trying to figure out whether we had squirrels in the eaves ... a very quiet little soft sound coming in little irregular series, at irregular intervals ... sort of buh buh buh buh ... silence ... a few more ... silence .. a few more ...

It really was that long before I figured out that it was gas being expelled in long slow gentle bursts under the duvet on the other side of the bed.

JaneyCanuck that is soo funny pmsl

I about killed myself laughing, and I do bring the subject up occasionally these several years later. ;)

That was No.1 of course. His snoring doesn't rival the nightmarish noises No.2 produced in that hotel room in the sky last month ...

Hi K, am pmsl here. O.h's snoring is notorious in his family, he kept so many people awake once when there was a family weekend at a camp site in Norfolk, he was in a tent with his sons and the noise was horrendous. When he stayed at his son's flat recently, he slept on an air bed in the lounge and apparently the cat kept coming to investigate him and his snoring frightened it away, son's girlfriend couldn't believe the sound and had got up to investigate lol
No wonder I have sleep problems now - am sure the broken nights with his snoring is what started things off! Used to lie there weeping with exhaustion and every time I dozed off his snoring would wake me again. Now he complains I snore, so at least I am sort of getting my own back lol

Funny that Liz, my hubby says that I snore now too. I just tell him "tough luck" I've put up with his snoring for nearly 30 years, now it's his turn to put up with mine! Revenge for all those sleepless nights at last.

LMAO, Liz, my dad is the same. Actually, according to mum he does the 'release of gas' thing too (but then he does that when he's awake...sounds like he's ripping his pants). He had all kinds of things done to try and stop his snoring, investigations for sleep apnoea, had the back of his throat lasered or whatever it is they do. None of it's helped. Camp sites are horrendous. We used to try and tape it when we were kids, but everytime we'd switch the recorder on, he'd stop!

That said, you've not heard anything 'til you've heard my best mate snore. Blimey it's like she doesn't even breath out, like a constant snore on the intake of breath. LOL

Here's what my mum swears by -- I think her dr. recommended it.

A 2x4 (on its side) underneath the head of the bed -- under the legs or bedframe or whatever's there.

That will raise it about 1.5 inches as compared to the foot. Not enough to be really noticeable, but apparently enough to be effective.

Now admit it, you thought I was going to say a 2x4 upside the head of the snorer. ;)


And you all know what people write in to advice columns whenever somebody complains about a snoring husband. What my mum would say: I wish he were still here and I'd never complain about his snoring again.

My trite little moral for the day.

Mum and Dad now have separate bedrooms so it's not so much of an issue. They had to have separate beds after Dad's spinal problems surfaced and then mum had her Breast cancer surgery. When I was a kid dad used to work nights, it was the perfect solution really LOL.

I'm so used to sleeping alone I don't know that I would handle sharing a bed whether they snored or not. I apparently mumble in my sleep LOL.

Your little moral is so true though.

When I was a kid my dad was on the road four nights a week. ;)

We have a snapshot somewhere of my dad taking an afternoon nap, snoring with his mouth wide open, and a kitten poking her head into his mouth ... wondering where the horrible noises were coming from, no doubt.

I sometimes laugh in my sleep, at jokes I make up while unconscious. The actual sound I make when I do it, though, is SNOOORK. Which wakes me up.

We had a pet mynah bird which was let out of it's cage in the evening. It used to love my dad and would sit on him all the time. Dad would doze off in the chair with his arms folded and the bird would settle quietly on his forearm and sleep as well.

One evening,as Dad slumbered,we watched the bird look up at his nose.Head tilted to left and right as birds do.

Suddenly the beak went up the left nostril and Father slumbered no more!

PMSL Sharron & Janey, what images that are conjured up.

Why can't I hear myself snore yet I can hear other half telling me I'm snoring?
