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.

Oops, got distracted. Wrecked that lot of milk. Will start over.

Wedding prep? I'm very out of the loop here. Who's getting married @Faith-and-Hope?

Hope your hubby feels better soon @Shaz51. Did he have any joy with the online CBT stuff?

Hi @Former-Member @Shaz51

Our eldest daughter (D1) is getting married in a few months time.

It's a big fat Greek wedding ......... lots to do !! And that's with an 18th birthday party for D3 later this month, and a 21st for son (S2) in another couple of months ........... We tend to have these "perfect storm" scenarios that keep happening.

Better make that a strong coffee now @Former-Member. I'm flagging, with D3 on the stage tonight with a school event to get to yet, and sending one of my paintings interstate for a competition, so that needs wrapping up and preparing tonight for travel across the country tomorrow .........

WH (Wayward Husband) left again this morning to go interstate, so the chaos metre has dropped a few levels.

Definitely time for a coffee ❣

One strong coffee coming up. Should hold you in good stead for the concert.

Five kids? Much respect to you @Faith-and-Hope.

Hope the wedding preparations are going well and your DIL isn't becoming a Bridezilla 🙂

Sorry to hear that your hubby didn't persevere @Shaz51. Perhaps he'll come back to it. I'm going to do some honey and lemon for you tonight.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Ooops, read that wrong. It's your daughter getting married! In that case I really hope there's no Bridezillaness. Although you can probably keep it in check with your own kids.

My partner and I never got round to getting married and it would be a bit strange to do so now after so many years. So I expect our daughter to swing completely the other way and have the whole shebang. Meringue dress and everything. She's only ten though so we've got a way to go yet 🙂

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Former-Member

"Bridezilla" in this case is my daughter 😆 but she hasn't been too bad at all. She's a bit bossy, but that can be pretty good for getting everybody and everything lined up for a wedding. "Horses for.courses" as they say !

Yeah @Shaz51, I hope you're feeling better soon ❣. Can you watch old movies and snuggle up for a while with that lemon and honey tea ?

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yeah, well, start saving !! 😊

Merangue dresses are ex-pen-si-ve and they don't usually come on their own !!

You're "common-law" married @Former-Member You've got the heart and soul of marriage going on obviously, to be together this length of time, and with your daughter in there too. Very special.

💜

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

With 3 daughters @Faith-and-Hope, any chance you can convince any of them to elope?!
