Well done you - all that dancing must have burned a zillion calories! Regarding the snoring, I used to thump my DH but now I just yank his pillow really hard till he sort of falls off it, then he has to re-arrange himself and that seems to stop him snoring for a while! Worth a try!

 

[Mrs V]

Hi Barb...Ive tried that! Ive even tried holding his nose so that he gasps for breath! Also physically turned him over.....how is it possible to snore face down?!!!
Also bought a watch that emitts a electric pulse (more like a shock!) to make him turn over, result......snore!
He even wakes our 3 year old daughter up, who comes into our room to tell daddy off!!!
Now its down to kicking him out of bed into the spare room!!!

Hi MrsV

Has your hubby tried those strips that go over the nose to open up the airways as it were? They're supposed to work...

 

[Mrs V]

Lol...yes he tried those too! Until he sheds a few stone, there is nothing that will make any difference...its also a standing joke with our friends!
