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 ?

@Smc @Shaz51 washing machines and fridges are two things I am wary of buying second hand as most people usually only replace them when they are well worn out. We did get a good 2nd hand washing machine once from someone who had bought a house lot of furnishings inc. washer from the previous owner when they bought a place so were getting rid of their stuff.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Former-Member yep, which is specifically why I said "reconditioned". There's a business in the nearby "biggish-city" that repairs washing machines, and he always has a stock of ones that he's fixed up to sell as well. I trust the guy's repair skills enough that I'm happy to buy from him.

Morning folks. What's for brekky? I had a hot cross bun (the supermarkets had leftovers from Easter going cheep cheep cheep) and a bowl of fruit with a touch of cream, plus coffee milk. Home made, not bought. The bought stuff is so sugar loaded.

Hello 🙂 a cuppa sounds fabulous! Thanks @Shaz51- I've just made a pepermint tea.

Horray for new washing machine day! We got our oven fixed this week after it being out of working order for many weeks. So nice to have things that work 🙂

I'm thinking of what self care activity I'm going to implement for myself today...... a nice walk after work and wondering if anyone else have any self care acts to implement today?

Hello and welcome @Dots

@Former-Member, self care this afternoon has been tucking myself into bed for a nap after a restless night last night.

@Shaz51 now that I've woken up, I'm thinking dinner-ish thoughts too. Will keep it simple, thinking that the "cheater's risotto" we had another time I was tired would go down well. Have tinned corn, tinned toms, stock, grated parmesan, cream and a few easy vegs... that'll do.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi @Shaz51 - nice that you got your new washing machine.

Welcome @Dots. Good to meet you.

@Smc - a nice easy risotto recipe - sounds yum!

@Faith-and-Hope - what do you think of this year's Archibald Portrait Prixe Finalists. I often think the one that wins the Packing Room Prize is a winner. Jimmy Barnes features this time around.

Hiya @Former-Member
