Hi Clavicles.
Yes you are right! I usually wake up around 4am and cannot get back to sleep so I come onto this website! It's been the same for several years now, I cat nap usually after dinner for 1 hr.
I usually have a salad with most meals and as much fruit as possible about 2 choices per meal, usually from apples,oranges, bananas, pineapple or pears!
I am tired about 9-30.......10-00pm so go to bed to watch the TV it guarantees to make me go to sleep!

I cook my eggs in a small saucepan from Sainsbury's (see pic) its about 10cm wide and non stick, I spray with Fry Light and cook until the egg starts to set then I place a oversize glass lid across the pan and the heat & steam then cooks the egg yoke.
i do mine similar to this but in a frying pan and a casserole lid haha.. they always come out perfect!

i love the look of your curry.. have you got the recipe that i could copy !!
if thats for me it was quite easy and i made it up as i went along.
i used...
2 chicken thigh, skinless and boneless,
250g of mushrooms,
3 little onions (1 large),
1 courgette,
handful of spinach,
2 curry oxo cubes,
tin of chopped tomatos,
1 chicken stock cube in 1 pint of hot water,
2 frozen garlic cubes.
brown onions and chicken in a pan with the 2 oxo curry cubes,
add courgette and 2 cubes of garlic and mix around until "browned".
Add mix to pressure cooker with a tin of tomatos and add the pint of stock. Leave in for about 10 mins.
Let pressure "drain" off and add the handful of spinach and leave to simmer for a couple of mins. When it was cooking the spinach i added a few shakes of tumeric and a few shakes of garam masala.
