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.

Hey @Former-Member @Smc @Former-Member 👋 💕

Yes, there is someone in the LE forum with a passion for papier-mâché too @Smc. I have just gotten into it with the Art course and I can see already how addictive this could be .... in a good way .... lol

Some people are just so talented with arts and crafts. Have seen some beautiful papier mache things that people have made.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

We've got one spot in our house where I decided to put together a budget "feature wall". I made the kind of flour paste used for paper mache and stuck the classified pages from The Weekly Times over it, plus a few newspaper cartoons. It looked good, particularly once the paper aged and yellowed a bit, but when we moved in our new rodent-proof steel cabinet pantry a few years ago, it had to go in front of it.
It won't be a permanent feature anyway, because the wall it was "improving" is the dreaded asbestos cement sheet. However, I may repeat the idea somewhere in the house where it can be a more long term thing.

In a previous house we had 'wrap around' underneath a bar that was old boards with newspaper from around 1920 stuck to them. These were collected when someone we knew found them behind other walls when they renovated.
