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.

Good Food and Community is such a bonus. @Adge

@Former-Member Beautiful pics. Yes I have been most privileged. There really are some things money can not buy. Neither event is costing me financially.

I would not call it freebies ... as that comes from another style of thinking... this is another form of economy ... that is productive, social, creative and generative.... no BS.

I did get freebie ... tshirt, 2 ciders, handful of chips, and 5 cappucinos.... I also worked for them ... was I too cheap or generous ??? Maybe ... maybe not ...

Understood you were volunteering. Makes it easier if no financial burden.

Yup Thanks @Former-Member

But as a professional in the field I also have to be careful about undercutting and giving good skills away gratis. Tradies, many males and mechanics may not be so kind.
