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.

@Smc - Sorry, I did not read correctly - thanks for pointing this out. Here's hoping your trusty repairman will have one of these numbers to make your life easier ...

Well it's almost a tea party (coffee/hot choc) @soul @Faith-and-Hope @Smc @Dots @Shaz51 @Former-Member I've just come home from work, which is really taking it out of me atm. Just working up to getting a cup of rooibos before I tackle some chores . Have a good evening everyone.

@Former-Member, those old things were as tough as nails, and would no doubt long outlast the electronic plastic fantastics that we get nowadays!

We do have one of these (an older version), and it's actually quite efficient for small loads. About 2 mins gentle turning to wash, same again to rinse. Sadly it doesn't have a spin dry setting.

Is very gentle exercise @Former-Member. It takes the equivalent of six shirts per wash, so if it was in a properly set up spot in a laundry, spending 5-10 minutes every second day would just about keep up with our washing. I'm impressed with how "grey" the wash water is. That's a pretty good indicator of how much grot it gets out of the clothes.

Woo hoo, New washing machine @Shaz51 I hope it works well, & serves you for a long time.

Self-care - well I'm only just home from my Yoga class @Former-Member They've just started again, after not running for the school holidays (break).

Yoga class straight after work, makes Thursday a very long day - it's well worth it though, I usually feel so much better afterwards...

Wow I've never seen one of those hand-turn washing thingies @Smc Excellent, it doesn't need any electricity to run it, either...
