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.

I love Cheesecake @Faith-and-Hope It's my favourite Dessert (except for Black Forest Cake)...

I think Baked Chesecake tastes the nicest (I haven't had that in years)...

Thanks @Bunniekins Actually all the driving to get there takes a lot out of the relaxation.

When I don't feel up to going to yoga (or for a massage), it's because of having to drive to get there (not because of the yoga)...

@Adge Where my ex used to work they had a masseur come in and give which ever staff wanted a massage. I think it is a great idea.

Cost-cutting & "Sava da money" (every cent) @Bunniekins

They wouldn't do that here, because it would cost them too much - even though they recognise that the carer (& staff) burnout rate is horrendous...

I take your word for it @Faith-and-Hope If you didn't like it, then I'm sure that I wouldn't either...

What a disappointment - something non-kosher masquerading as a cheesecake...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Adge how have you found the NDIS has affected the caring professon in these companies? Do you think it is all money driven now and the caring element has gone? That is what I am hearing from carers who work in the industry plus the carers are expected to work with more clients then they are supposed to etc.
