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.

Police we had were mostly friendly also @Smc, it is more the embarrassment factor re neighbours looking on, then they were poking around our house bagging up stuff they considered a risk.

I agree, I don't blame them when you consider what could go wrong for the paramedics.

@Determined yeah, that would feel pretty invasive, even when you completely underdatnd why.

@Shaz51 We were caught in the 2011 floods (when a too-stable high pressure system dragged some top end rain down this way). So we were on alert to one degree or another for a couple of months, and then displaced for another couple while the house got dried out and sorted out. So I can relate. Look after yourselves as much as you can. x

Good morning everyone 🙂 How are you all? I'm still tired but had a good sleep last night - was pretty shattered! Looks like another long day today as mum should be transferred to mental health clinic. I just want to go back to bed! Having a coffee to wake me up .... hasn't kicked in yet! Is everyone having a good day so far? x
