Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Stardust - I thought that was a really good fantasy romance movie. I loved it.

Most of the movies I like I have on DVD - but I don't really re-watch them much.

Hey @Adge, I think I'll be joining you for evening viewing. Goodie goodie yum yum...

We prefer the old Dr Who series too. We were watching the new series until recently, but it seems to be getting blacker. It got so that I'd only watch it during the day (on I-View) because otherwise I was likely to be going to bed stewing over its latest personal or social dilemma, and not able to sleep.

And sci fi ditto. We skip the rougher ones. Belatedly discovered Firefly last year and watched it through. Some episodes were good, others were a bit heavy.

Likewise superhero movies. Some of the Marvel ones we enjoy, such as Antman, others are bordeline... I decided to opt out of the latest Wolverine because the first was on the heavy side of borderline, and the latest one seems rougher still.

Otherwise, we'll often opt to watch kids stuff, because we enjoy it. Tonight we were rewatching How to Train Your Dragon. And Hubby and I have been reliving our childhood watching My Favourite Martian.

We don't actually have a TV, haven't had one for over 20 years. All our watching is DVDs or I-View, or recently Netflix on a laptop computer. So no ads, and we choose when we watch, and it's easier to stop something halfway through if it's getting late, or if we're just not enjoying it.

Goodie Goodie Yum Yum, yes @Smc

Oh, My Favourite Martian, now you've reminded me...

I'm also a big fan of the original Disney animations, I have most of them.

Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, even The Sword in the Stone, etc...

My sister's big on the Disney movies. We've got a few, if we want to watch one we don't have, we borrow off her.
