Christmas Loungeroom

Christmas Loungeroom

For all those who are both celebrating and avoiding Christmas this year the Chistmas Loungeroom is a place for us all to hang out. It is especially for those who will be alone throughout this Christmas period and as a place to come together and enjoy the company of others in what can be a difficult time for many.

Feel free to post your stories, images, grievances, etc. of this period and to leave messages for other members to help each other get through this time of year.

Christmas day can be extra hard for some so this is a place for us all to get together on the day and share it with other members.

Re: Christmas Loungeroom

You sound more positive today @TAB - maybe it is the walk that got you up and going. I just had a quick nap - was feeling very tired - think it has made a difference but still slow in getting mving myself this morning. Waiting to hear about going out today - might be for lunch or dinner so will have to wait and see - I am hoping for lunch so I can watch the 20/20 game tonight.

Re: Christmas Loungeroom

It was sleep I guess @Zoe7 re more positive. Had been feeling crap phys and mentally last few days so just resorted to sleep as default position. Slept like a log 8hrs last nite after nap during day. Eyes still buggered most aches still there just how I see it. As in will have to do something instead of just dwelling on/in it.

Re: Christmas Loungeroom

Yeah saw a bit of t20 last night. They don’t broadcast many games here, and when they do, annoying banners saying its free @Zoe7 lol

Re: Christmas Loungeroom

Sleep does help @TAB but not good about the aches still being there. Hopefully they will get easier throughout the day - we more learn to deal with them than them going away though - still hope they ease for you today.

I need to do a shop too but can't be bothered getting that organised - need to write a list which will mean going through the cupboards and fridge to see what is needed. I know I am out of most things or nearly out so a list is important.

Re: Christmas Loungeroom

@Zoe7, thank you, you're such an encouragement. Eventually peeled myself off the couch and started a wardrobe declutter. Got two garbage bags for charity and one box. That's pretty good for me.

@TAB, glad to read you're feeling more settled. Loved reading about your early morning walk encounters lol. I should walk with you, maybe next year lol
