Multitabling when there's not many players online

As anyone who has been following my diary thread will have probably seen by now, I'm playing on between 7 and 9 £1.15 DYM tables at the moment to build up my bankroll, C4P, and STT League Points. During the day, this isn't a problem. However, at this time of night, it's very difficult to get any more than 2 or 3 tables going at the same level at one time. You get one game started, then it takes 15 minutes for the next one to start, and by the time you get a third game started, the first one has almost finished.
My problems are as follows:
1) I only have around £100 BR at the moment, so can't really step back up and start playing £2.25 and £3.30 games as well, as I don't want to put large amounts of my bankroll in play at one time. Can't play NL4 tables and a couple of DYM's simultaneously for the same reason.
2) If I only play 2 or 3 tables, I get bored, start being too aggro, and usually end up donking my chips off to somebody. Just don't have the patience to keep folding 95% of hands for half an hour.
3) Playing £0.60 games at the same time is just pointless as I'd probably struggle to beat the (ridiculous) 20% rake at that level, and even if I could, it wouldn't be worth it for the tiny amount I'd make (Bring the rake down plz Sky!)
What should I do - Just keep playing on as many tables as I can at one level and try not to throw my chips away, or just play whatever games are running and affordable, and not worry too much about having maybe 20-25% of my buy-in in play across 9 tables? Is having that amount of my buy-in in play at one time just asking to go broke, or is it acceptable?
Help needed please

With all due respect to those who are incredibly nitty with their bankrolls at the micro stakes and only risk 1-2% if you are a good enough player you should be able to multitable £2 and £3 dyms with a £100 roll.
Let's say you can play very good 1-2 tabling with a winrate of around 65% but you could maintain a winrate of 60% (optimistic?) if you play 6 tables at once. Playing 6 tables will clearly be better in the long run because you are making more hourly.
You need to be moving out of the £1.15s and £2.25s asap to get into the 10% rake band of the £3.30s and above. Baring in mind that a decent % of DYM players monthly profit is coming from the C4Ps promotion.
i know what u mean about getting bored
if u drop table numbers down,
i have been playing 6 dym,s at once.
now i,ve gone back on cash tables i am
quite happy just playing 2.
just took a few mins 2 adjuust....not long.
that is the problem though playing through
the nite.
think i would stick 2 playing as many as poss during the peak times
and simply not bother once past midnight
