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.

☕️

Ooooh @Janiee, I can relate to the dramas, and their flow on effect on organisation! Haven't got everything done that I wanted to, trying to make sure that the really important bits get over the line.

Socks for Christmas... 😛 Not always a bad idea, 'specially if they're fun ones.

I've got some like these... love them! But being a musician, I find it a little annoying that the pattern is random notes, not a tune.
A friend some years ago had a scarf with a music manuscript print. On a whim, I held it up and asked him to play it on his keyboard. 'Twas "Be it e'er so humble, there's no place like home". 😄

@Former-Member, hmmm, indulgent...

Depends on the indulgence. I'm a total bargain hunter, but at the same time I do enjoy quality.
I've got a bottle of truffle infused oil in the pantry, and that gets used sparingly to add a rich touch to meals. Too much is "too much". That was a gift from a friend who knows I like cooking.
We buy good chocolate, fair trade organic for preference. Both for ethical reasons, and why bother buying junk? (Except when it comes to chocolate coins. 😉 )

There's always some alcohol around the house, but as an occasional treat rather than eveyday. Baileys, port. Assorted spirits, but those are for cooking.

Wore a silk skirt to church this morning, but that was bought at an op shop, and it's washable, so it just goes into the machine with everything else. Feels luxuriant wearing it.

@Shaz51 ... Did you miss my post about a bit of self indulgence (don't want you to think I have not remembered you).

@Determined. Have you a little indulgence planned ?

Just enjoying the children's excitement for the season and trying not to be too much of a grinch.

🤔 I suppose you could say that my motorcycle and associated equipment was a but indulgent considering I will be the only one to get any benefit out of it. Call it my early christmas present to myself.

Hahaha I just got a dirty look when I read hubby that one @Former-Member. No sense of humour some people lol.

I totally get that @Smc, just brings you down. But I'm done with being bought down 😎
