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.

Hope your Mum makes a fast recovery @Determined.


We had been planning on going out for the morning plus lunch, as a bit of relax time, but the car won't start... petrol supply seems to be fine, battery was juicy (until we tried starting it too many times... is now on charge), starter motor was starting... suspecting something electrical. If Hubby can track it down, maybe we can go out tomorrow instead.

So we've just had a hazelnut mocha at home instead, while Hubby watches "Clickspring" on Youtube to relax. (He's one of Youtube's treasures for the mechanically minded- a guy who does amazing small engineering projects from a workshop about the size of your average bathroom.... you see so many guys commenting about bingewatching his clips to relax! 🙂 )

Time for a coffee and one of SMC's cookies.

Not sure that 2 hour drive for 10 min of paperwork was an effective use of my time but I made it down and home again without having to stop for a break so happy with that.

Good morning all

@Smc any news re: car?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Former-Member, car is up and running again. 🙂 Once the battery was re-juiced, it started just fine. So something among the bits and pieces of cleanup that Hubby did must have made the difference, but dunno which one. My guess would be cleaning out the carburetor. We've had experience in the past of very small fragments blocking the very small jet outlet and completely messing things up.

Soooo all being well, the outing is happening today.

Good morning to anyone around. Bikkies for the road!
