Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Re: Night Shift

im hoping you're feeling a bit more settled @Faith-and-Hope. I had a few laughs at my friends house. I hope you are getting to have a laugh here and there too. I'm feeling a bit wrecked from a big week too, won't be long for this world tonight either.

@TAB Your sounding chilled. I think it would take a few wines to chill me out at the moment, still a bit highly strung but could be worse. Had a couple of scotches at my friends house which helped with the laughter part.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope

Ah yes - I remember - D3 is going through a rough patch - a really rough patch - my dd did too - I can relate - her brother died when she was doing Year 10 - and when he was in prison she was truanting with my permission and I was teaching her at home - and went to her Home Class Teacher and told him that when she went to school I did not want her in trouble - she was at school that day - and that was enough.

She did Year 11 and did well - but she was not academic

But your D3 is - and this must be heart-breaking for her - it is a difficult situation for you - and her - and a break and a different school would be a better start when she is through this difficult time. A lot of pressure can be on children to achieve and then when life builds up it can be so hard - and yet - I was determined to get an education - and I am thinking that your daughter will show the same strength to do the same

The possibilities are endless @TAB. Have you any idea when you'll move on or just waiting for the right vibe?

And that's the ones I have been acting on.. so, going soon, was trying to believe what was told, will wait til monday mail now and then Plan B, think @Former-Member

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @TAB

I try not to use American English but I was in an American website for years and I guess it rubs off

Yes - two shoulder operations -

I cannot imagine not being a musician - though I did not have a piano for a long time - and my memories of all the travelling and gigs I did with friends - fantastic!!

I could eat a whole packet of salt and vinegar chips too - but maybe it depends on the size - no guilt here either
