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.

☕️

Hi @Janiee Yes that sounds like a tasty option.

Evening all...

I don't think I've met a cheese that I haven't liked... except perhaps the processed cheddar that was in everyone's fridge when we were kids. 😛

One of our friends brought a lovely wheel of Stilton along to our combined 50th birthday party earlier this year. We got to take home the half that was left at the end of the day and enjoy it.

Currently there's only tasty in the fridge, but I do commit the "crime" of freezing cheese when I see it at a cheap price. Despite advice to the contrary, we've had no hassles with it thawing out acceptably. 😄 So there's parmesan, mascarpone, brie and camembert in the freezer... plus a small amount of "accidental" ricotta. I was trying to see if I could make condensed milk from buttermilk left after butter making, but because the buttermilk is high in acid it turned into sweetened curds instead. Actually tastes OK, but I didn't have time to use it when it happened, so I froze it to experiment with a recipe later.

@Eja @Ella_88 come and meet some other carers - this is our 'virtual cafe' where we stop in for light hearted talk with those who understand ...

Hi @Francisca and @IfOnly ..... 👋☕️💕

Come and meet some other carers. This is a social thread where we tend to come together and connect a bit around the issues we are challenged with. It doesn’t replace seeking advice and support on the threads under other sections of the forum ..... it’s just a space where you can take a little self-care time, and just be with others, for you.

Good morning everyone.

Yes, I will try to stop to smell the flowers - I haven't done that in a long time.

Quick hello @Faith-and-Hope @Adge , @Smc

Hello @IfOnly @Francisca 👋

Grabbing a 'take away' as heading out. Feeling one of those 'can do' moments bringing my own eco friendly cup 😀.

@Former-Member What a great idea ! I now feel like making myself a hot chocolate too ! this is such a great idea ... I feel like i really do have others to talk to in similar situations without judgement.
