Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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.

Hey @Former-Member
Google the Carnation milk ice cream. It's cheap and I like it so that means it's good! Takes me back to my childhood and I used to make it for my kids too

Re: Night Shift

Aah yes! Condensed milk - we used to do the same thing. The trail of ants going under the bed would always give the game away. Remember Tutti Frutti condensed cordial. It was 😆cottees from memory.

Re: Night Shift

I don't think I'll be long before I hit the sack too @Shaz51. I'm whacked tonight! It must have been all that exercise stuff at physio. Maybe I'm getting old. 😉 Might still post when I do get to bed.....

Re: Night Shift

Good night all.

Have a challenging day tomorrow, but it'll be no problem. Sleep is good to prep for those days.

Hope everyone online has good, restful sleep and wakes up perhaps in the light rather than the dark.

Thankyou all for being so kind to each other and as far as mentoring goes the human race could take some tips from this community of people.

Bless you

Nite Nite
