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.

@Bunniekins I had not thought of a vegan festival but @Appleblossom went to one in Melbourne and a quick google showed they have them all about the place - might be one closer to home for you.

I'm sure they were nice people @Appleblossom

Alternative-lifestyle type people usually are really nice (in my experience).

I always like to assume that people will be nice (in advance), unless proved otherwise.

@Former-Member Darcy there is one thing for sure there would be no vegan festival near me .... all meat pies and sangers here .... but the next big city would defintely have one :D. Mind you times are changing and with immigration even my Aussie Blokey area might one day have a vegan festival 🙂 xx

I went to location for 2nd books and cd sale and dont have spare cash for fancy stuff like alternative therapies. It was good seeing all the people spruiking innovative healthy products. I wish I could have supported them, but not rich enough yet.

Watching interesting talk atm

@Janiee, half the fun with second hand books is the hunt. 🙂 You never know what you'll come across.

Thinking about it, that's possibly why I've never gotten in to buying them off the internet. Searching actual shelves is much more fascinating.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I do have a kindle now, which I love. Its handy when you're travelling as I can take lots of books but no extra weight or on nightshift as it has its own light. Plus I can read and not disturb my hubbys sleep. I still have my books, nothing, can't imagine my home without them ❤ @Smc
