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.

☕️

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers today @Former-Member x

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes @Former-Member I got rid of them, even if temporarily.

They may come back - as Arnie say (Terminator movie) "I'll be back"...

I'm ready for them, if they do.

I can't have them chewing my alarm cables & disabling it (again).

Yep @Smc I so wish we could stop those pesky rodents chewing things, especially cables.

They so like to chew...

@Former-Member, @Adge, our house is an old one, all out of square. Whenever we manage to get to rebuilding, rodent exclusion will be a priority. For now, we mostly have to be satisfied with excluding them from places where they can do the most damage. Our pantry, for example, is a steel cabinet...

I have stuffed the hole near the telephone/internet wiring with steel wool. Hopefully that helps matters.

Thought it might be fitting to indulge in some nutella doughnuts to see if we can tempt @Former-Member to join us for a cuppa.

Baked a big batch of lemonade scones here this afternoon for S2s yr 6 grad celebration tonight at school.

Quite pleased with the result considering how crappy our oven is.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Is the oven easily replaceable @Determined?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I'm not getting much baking done at the moment, but I do have a batch of plum and rose petal cordial brewing up on the stove. 🙂 I had some frozen plums that turned out to be a bit sour for pleasant eating, but a bit of tang in cordial is good. And the rose petals will help tone it down a little too.

New oven and cooktop ordered and paid for @Former-Member, just waiting on the electrician to call back with a date on installation 😁

We had just put a new oven and cooktop in the old house 6 weeks before we decided to sell so going back to a dunger has been a bit of letdown lol.
