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.

Morning all,

Quick flyby before I go offline for my end of semester Exam.

Could do with something a little extra in my hot chock this moning to calm the nerves but that may send me to sleep lol

@Determined a bit of dark choc with these drinks could assist the grey matter.

@Janiee, my long held theory is that if you have enough well filled bookcases in the appropriate places, you don't have to worry about wall finishes and insulation... 😉

(This one's actually a bookshop, but hey, I could handle living there.)

Hi @Bravo_Charlie .... and welcome to the Hit Chocolate Anyone ? thread. This is a general one where a lot of our carers keep in touch around managing our daily issues. Just somewhere to say hi to another understanding human, or fall into a bit of a heap if it’s that sort of day, amongst forum friends who don’t require any explanations ..., we are just here.

@Determined @Former-Member @Janiee @Smc @Sophie1 .... anyone else around ....

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, I need to explore the forum threads. However, I'll remember this one as I could certainly use some positive reinforcement some days when things are going particularly poorly.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

As it suits you @Bravo_Charlie ...... there are so many ups and downs being a carer, and our needs can be different on different days, as it can be for those we are caring for too .....

Yell out if there is anything you want help with as you find your way around. Someone will help you .... it is like that for all of us.

Hey @Determined .... 👋
