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.

There will be a bit of blue and yellow about for another week or three @Adge. Sounds like you are immune to footy fever 😀.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Totally agree @Former-Member. Because of Eddie Maguire, Collingwood are my least favourite team.

Non footy person here too. 😛 I've never really cared for watching any sports, except gymnastics, ice skating, maybe diving. The stuff that involves a bit of artistic performance too.

I can "Go the Swans" @Former-Member@Former-Member Because I'm originally from Sydney.

Sometimes I "Go the Swans" just to upset the Eagles fans here (for fun)...

No I don't watch any sports.

I'm happy to play the occasional game of footy (preferably soccer) or cricket, when someone is very keen on me playing..

That's a good point @Smc Ice skating & gymnastics are great to watch.

I used to ice skate every week, for years (at school) - plus played Softball & Soccer.

No ice skating rink near where I grew up, but there was a roller skating rink. I used to love going there. Hubby and I also used to go skating when we were dating. He was more a skateboarder. I wouldn't be able to do anything on one of those, but am still reasonably competent on skates. 🙂

Nowadys the favourite wheels for Hubby, two sons and Younger Daughter are unicycles. I can't ride one of those either. I could probably learn, but am not really motivated to do so.
