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 ?

Haha sometimes i dont ride it for a few days but im really determined to get back down to a healthy weight. The previous meds had a horridic weight gain side effect. You can usually find them cheap second hand but you do quite a lot of cleaning too and thats good exercise.

Aww he/she juat wants to sticky beak and make sure your not lonley

Hi @Shaz51 @outlander + everyone,

We have missed out on this round of airbag recalls @Shaz51, have to say I am pleased about that as I am not a fan of the local dealer, ethics is not high on their list of organisational attributes in my opinion.

We have had the same airbag replaced twice in previous recalls, once just before we bought the car and it was replaced again not long after we bought it under another recall.

Good luck with that @outlander,

I am under instruction from my gp to get back to a healthy weight here also so on to a strict diet and supposed to be exercising more. We have a treadmill and indoor cycle trainer that I need to be using but putting that off until after my final exam (for this semester), lacking energy and motivation at the moment so it is all going into my studies.

My doc is worried about my liver @Shaz51,

More blood tests in 3 months and if diet/ exercise has not improved things I will be referred to a specialist. Pretty big insentive to listen and make the recomemded changes.

Hi @Shaz51 👋

2 hours on the exercise bike @outlander ...to me that sounds tiring but healthy too. Good on you! Feel like past year i have put on a bit of weight and i havent been to pilates for weeks so paying for a membership am not going to. Need try get back into it.

Those airbag recalls. I have gotten so many letters from toyota when i have sent reply saying my car was written off. It frustrates me. But i heard they recalling some Subaru forester ones too!

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Maybe you can get back to pilates soon. Are you still doing tennis ( and i think dancing? ) ? @Anony18

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Sounds like a widespread car issue @Shaz51

Oh a loose gearstick, that's not fun or easy to drive.

I've always driven (had) manual cars.

Apparently it's much less common now.

That was the 3rd safety recall that I've had on my car - 7 to 8 years after I bought it (strange).
