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 ?

It can be difficult mindset to change if you have managed without a car @Smc... my mother learned drive at 50 and that was interesting. She had 22 years of very active driving, but we were worried for her at the time.

My son is an example of taking his time and working out when he is ready. For his reasons, and I understand his cautious style, he has resisted what most other young men were chaffing at the bit for ...

My father never drove a car that I know, or owned one. He was a ship/water person.

You do what you feel is right for you. Safety is important.

I got a motorbike licence at 18 and car at 26.

@Appleblossom, if we had a suitable bike available, I'd love to get a motorbike license. Hubby's bike was our main form of transport B.C. (Before Children) and we miss it.

I'm coming up to 50 myself. It's been a series of circumstances, including major surgery that interrupted my learner driving for a year, and lately, carer stress. I just don't feel up to fitting in another demand at the moment. Gotta keep myself together. One day it'll happen.

There is no rush @Smc it is the sort of thing that one needs to be truly ready for.

In the mean time, you have probably had lower than average carbon emissions to worry about.

Sort of @Former-Member. It’s 17 hours a week at the moment, spread across three days, but will become 20 hours a week across four days soon.
