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.

I can't see your picture yet @Former-Member

So I'm waiting with baited breath - for the Triangle of Doom to turn into a Ray of Sunshine (& hope)...

Ooh It's the Pied Piper of Hamlin @Former-Member

You don't want to mess with him though.

When the villagers would not pay him, he piped all their children away...

No, sorry I don't have his contact number.

Perhaps a loan of destructo cat @Adge might be the way to go.

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes it might @Former-Member

Although it seems that Jelly Destructo cat prefers to chase Bugs & Lizards.

I haven't seen how keen she is on rodents - it's definitely worth a try.

Pressed send too soon,

My boys have been trying to get me to try a hot malt at night to help me sleep 😍

They first tried it at their nans and got a big tin for Christmas.

Have been resisting till now but thinking I may try tonight. All day in front lf a screen does not usually result in a good nights sleep. 😪

I have put some rodent control in the roof cavity @Adge, not sure how long it will take to work but have also put some underneath the house, hoping to intercept any other blighters before they take up residence.

Trust you get a good night sleep @Determined .

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

We know a lady who had her pet python escape his cage and move into her roof cavity... he reappeared weeks later, possibly becuase he'd run out of rodents and started to get hungry. 😄

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi @Former-Member That should get them.

Yes it takes a while - & they have quite an apetite, so you may need to re-stock it.

I keep forgetting to re-stock my roof, because it's horrible having to climb up there (dusty).

So that's when they come back.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Adge I didn't climb into the roof, I lifted the man hole and tossed some throw packs and wax baits in various directions. Am pleased to report that after two nights of scratching, last night all was quiet 😀.

@Smc welcome back. Yes there is the "organic" option but I don't know of anyone who owns a pet python locally and I have not been tempted to seek native assistance given my snake identification book describes the locals as "Venomous and dangerous. Capable of inflicting a potentially fatal bite."
