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.

Hi @Shaz51 You have had a busy week (last week), by the sounds of it.

How about a foot spa? I don't have one myself, it could come in handy.

Quiet & peaceful is just how I like it too @Bunniekins

Although my neighbours prefer to play ear-splitting Boom Boom music - especially at night, when I'm trying to sleep.

@Shaz51 @Sophie1 @Adge my favourite quirky birds are the plovers. They are sooooo cranky I hear them sqarking in the middle of the night and yet they are up during the morning hours and all day. I have probably told this story but on my walks there is a pair of them that watch the view out onto the bay in the morning. They are such a cute couple of love birds and when I get close they are really put out and squark and fly away angrily as if to say ' how dare you disturb our special time' 😄

@Adge What are the neighbours like? can you ask them to keep it down to a mild roar? or would that inflame the situation?

Two lots of noisy neighbour, at the side & behind @Bunniekins

They have both set up large outdoor speakers, which is the problem.

If the speakers were inside their house (common courtesy), then it may not be so ear-splitting.

No they are not amenable to turning them down - because they set up outside loudspeakers purposely, to make a loud noise

How come you get to see @Former-Member 's picture so quickly @Shaz51 ?

It's still a blank Triangle of Doom here.
