Hey!

Is there any difference between the two or both have the same meaning:

1. I am off to bed.
2. I am going to bed.

If both are same then is there any other way to say the same thing?

Thanks

Zuhair

There's no difference.

Also 'I'm turning in'.

:up: Or two rather Irish-sounding variants: 'It's bed it is for me' or 'I'm for my bed'; perhaps these are translations of Gaelic - Bhai?

(I'm not suggesting that you use them, but it might help to be able to recognize them.)
