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.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Excellent idea @Former-Member Maybe I should invest in some of those Noise Cancellation Headphones...

Especially with the Boom boom music speaker noise (neighbour's parties) coming right through my walls...

Hi @Shaz51 How are you?

I finally got my online clothes order (after 2 weeks) today - so now I have some new bright coloured tops to wear...

I like bright colours (I've tried to get away from black, grey, & navy blue).

Some people say that they can see me coming, (they know it's me) - from my bright orange pants or shorts...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

we are ok @Adge , Mr shaz is looking forward to doing some catchup jobs as long as it doesn`t rain

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Oh Catchup jobs @Shaz51....

My To Do List is as long as my arm...

I guess they do bring some sense of achievement (or relief) when done...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes @Adge, mr shaz is sooo anxious and worried that we wont get them all done

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I can relate to that @Shaz51

When I can't get things done whilst motivated (or when planned), I easily fall in a heap feeling discouraged...

@Shaz51, hope rain holds off so some jobs can be caught up on.

Sounds like we might need to don the sunnies if we see you approaching @Adge and I say bravo to you, seeing someone wearing orange pants always gives me a smile.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Former-Member I appreciate it.

It's taken a lot of doing to get that far...

Considering that I'm very reserved, & used to be a painfully shy person (for decades).

I just find bright colours more expressive.

Some people call them "happy colours" (uplifting your mood) - there might be something true in that idea...

I am not good at online ordering @Adge but have my eye on some leggings in various colours. My SIL is going to help me.

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I find online ordering difficult too @Former-Member The websites are confusing.

It's good that you can get some help with it.

You should see some of the colourful leggings that people wear at my yoga class...

Floral, multi-coloured stripes, etc

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I reckon if I wore patterned leggings the dolphins would look like whales @Adge but like seeing them on others.

Almost time for me to call it a night, lovely having a chat, will catch you another time.
