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.

Think I would do the same @Former-Member ..... the sultanas and spice make them for me .....

Yes, maybe it was the sugar glaze @Faith-and-Hope I still ate them, with a charcoal coating (not so healthy)...

I always make sure that I unplug the toaster, before I try to get stuck bread slices out of it.

I've been zapped by light sockets & faulty kettles (that electrified the sink top) - so I don't want any more of those experiences...

Got a circuit breaker @Adge ? They are life savers .....

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes, I have an RCD (Residual Current Device) & a Surge Protector (much more recent) in the Mains Box.

The Surge Protector can be a bit annoying, because it shuts all the power off when it's triggered (sometimes repeatedly).

But it does let me know when the Kettle (jug) has gone faulty, because it's almost always the kettle that does it...

Then I know that it's time to get a new kettle, because the SP won't let me switch it on (to use) anymore.
