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.

@Shaz51, that sounds kind of sweet- maybe he's adopted you. 😄

We get animals wandering in sometimes too, but not usually domestic ones... we've had possums, magpies, blackbirds and bluetongues all take advantage of our open back door. Oh, and a cute little bat came down the chimney one night, so we gently caught him (or her?) and helped him back outside.

Is Mr Shaz fond of him @Shaz51? Do you think he enjoys his company without the responsibility that comes with ownership?

Mainly rats, mice, flies and wasps at our place, with an odd bird we rescue that somehow manages to make it down the heater flue @Shaz51 @Smc

Do you think he enjoys his company without the responsibility that comes with ownership? -- yes he does @Former-Member, I am sure of it as his sister`s dog loves him and he loves pets but does not want anymore xx

@Former-Member, we get no shortage of the pest species too, but they're not welcome so they don't count. 😛 In fact, the possums only just squeak in. They are not popular when they have their pre-dawn domestic arguments in our ceiling cavity.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Didn't quite bring up the same warm fuzzy feeling @Smc although @Shaz51's snakes might not be so welcome.
