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.

Hiya @Lap1. 🙂 Yeah, I think I was around for the 1000 tick over of Hot Chocolate. There's a few of us long-haulers. And the virtual cuppa is much enjoyed as a "relax" space in the forum.

@Former-Member, I've been pulling out weeds... and we're helping out Older Son with some cleaning this afternoon. I think those count. (Prefer weeding/gardening to cleaning, but ah well.)

@Shaz51 sorry you had a bad night. I had a good night as himself only woke me up three times.... by accident.

It's quite funny really, as he wears a miner's torch on his head so he doesn't have to turn the lights on, but the minute he glances at me to see if I'm still asleep the spotlight hits me in the face. I pretend to be asleep so his feelings aren't hurt. Men are such delicate creatures.

Does Mr Shaz wake you up if something hurts? Himself does. I've been asked to drive him to E&R a few times (tummy pains, leg cramps that won't ease) but by the time I'm dressed and I've found the car keys he's snoring again. I swear to God if that man had any idea how much it hurts to have a baby he wouldn't be such a baby himself.

Do you get a nanna nap through the day? I'm at work but the boys are all out so sometimes I sneak one in at my desk.

xoxo
