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.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi @Faith-and-Hope Glad you found some consolation.

I can relate to being dizzy by unnecessary changes in the home space. We had enough with the renovations and then came all the negativity criticising everything ... An internal hurricane ... seems an apt image. I have not changed things in my house very often ... just gradually got more shelves and desks ... It has taken 10 years for my son to feel up to accepting a middle room with desks in it and to "make it work" for himself. The oldstyle computer desk is fine to store printer paper and stuff. I have permission to enter room to get printed material and books from a shelf.

Hugs Bella

@Smc I remember when Old Jamaica was the main available dark choc. Now we are spoiled for choice.

Yum

Sorry to hear that @Faith-and-Hope, but glad you are feeling a bit better. Hopefully tomorrow will be better than today. What's your drink of choice tonight?

Oh that's delicious @Faith-and-Hope. Are you a marshmallow-in-hot-chocolate person?

Hello @Ali11 @Faith-and-Hope

Emotional days=😢

Perhaps a little something to go with your hot choc - some vegan sweet potato choc fudge

Sorry to hear that @Former-Member. Hope the rest of the week gets better for you. Have you made that vegan sweet potato choc fudge? It looks amazing!

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Sounds amazing @Former-Member.

I’m more an orange or peppermint dark

chocolate person @Ali11 .... like melting actual dark orange or peppermint blocks in hot water and stirring. Lindt produce some wafer-type ones, one or two

squares do it ..... and the orange one has almond bits in too.

My family know I like them as a treat for this use.
