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.

Very funny @Determined. 😄 Being a no-TV household, I hadn't seen that before...

Makes me think of a Hagar the Horrible cartoon, which sadly I can't find online.

Conversation between Hagar and Lucky Eddie, as they stand at the foot of Hadrian's Wall

Lucky Eddie (pointing): "It was built to keep the barbarians out."

Hagar: "What a fantastic idea! Who built it?"

Lucky Eddie: "I dunno- the people on the other side..."

(This exchange of running jokes has potential to go on indefinitely. Mheehee.)

Yep, that's a good one @Former-Member

Tax Deductible too...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Former-Member Yes, the tax appointment was an allowable deduction (expense).

So, not too taxing - at least when the refund arrives...

Evening all.

It has been a long day here. Quick fly by before heading to bed.

Was up until 12 last night doing paperwork and up early this morning getting ready for some sold equipment to be picked up. Should sleep well tonight.

Good afternoon

Coffee anyone?

@Former-Member I'd luv a coffee. Just waiting for plumber to turn on water.

Hi @Appleblossom

Hope plumbing issue easily fixed and not a drain on wallet.

Sounds nice. I should put the kettle on. It's a bit cold and blustery here, so the fire would be a good idea too.

We had really cold breezes around our necks this morning. One of the small panes in our window had fallen out overnight. Thankfully unbroken, so it was a fairly simple job resetting it.

Minimum $1400 to get functional.

but more to do, which I was expecting to do later.

Yikes @Appleblossom but as you allude to, necessary. Tradesmen are not cheap. Glad you were able to diy with the window @Smc, unfortunately neither Mr D or I are handy.

We are driving home in blustery conditions but hope to stop somewhere for late lunch and a coffee which I am hanging out for.
