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.

Still no picture yet @Former-Member Large fluffy bath towels sound great.

Mine are almost thread-bare (some of them), with big holes & tears....

Hi @65faith 👋

This is a little virtual coffee shop drop-in corner if you would like to meet some friendly folk who are carers. It offers a bit of time-out at the beginning or the end of the day.

Under the Social Spaces discussion topic on the Carers Home page you will find other oases of interest .... dogs, cats, art, gardening, humour, gratitude, carers tips for self-care (that one might be under Looking After Ourselves) ....

Perhaps for your birthday (or if you find them on sale) you could treat yourself to a quality towel or two @Adge .

So as not to overload the linen cupboard I limit the towels for human use to two per person (based on number of bed spaces in house available for regular + guest capacity). As towels wear they become dog towels, then floor cleaners, then out.
