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.

Oh dear... here's 50 year old me thinking I'd love to get into making clothes for myself again, and not necessarily conservative ones... 😛 Maybe more muted colours than the ladies below, but methinks purple will still be in the mix somewhere.

Most definitely not hot pants, miniskirts or boob tubes though! I won't go so far as to totally rule out tie dying.

@Smc @Former-Member I am growing my hair hair though so that I can wear it in a bun :). I love the look of older ladies with grey hair in a bun 😄

@Bunniekins, a few styling suggestions just for you. 😄

I've only got the odd strand of grey here and there. My Mum's hair is still pretty dark at 80-something, so I may never go really grey.
The family all reckon I still look and act 30-ish... so maybe I can claim an exemption from middle age for now? 😛 It'll catch up with me eventually no doubt, but I'm not in any hurry.

@Smc Oh Smc aren't they all beautiful. I once saw an older lady in her 70s I would say with long grey hair done up in a old fashioned bun and she looked so lady like :).

Online shopping is great for finding some bargains, isn't it @Bunniekins?

"frogharmonic orchestra" is a delightful name for the choir @Former-Member

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

The term was from a children's book "The musical life of Gustav Mole" where the frogs have a talent the rest of us can only dream about @Ali11

@Ali11 Hi Ali11 yes online shopping is a buzz for the pea in so many ways. The biggest draw card is I don't have to go to a mall full of people and cope with all the stresses that go along with that scenerio. I can do it from the comfort of my computer chair 😄 and then wait a few days for the package to arrive like magic :).

Do you not miss trying clothes on before you buy @Bunniekins ?
