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.

Hey Darcy, we probably need some good news stories.

Anything you can tell us about silver linings and blessings?

Sorry people, I'm using shorthand without courtesies to speed up comms.

I noticed Adge added support and I think that Faith and Shaz are close by

@HenryX Silver linings today include:

- The carpet quote man returning to pick up a sample that was left here so I could colour match when the window furnishings person came to quote - this saved me a trip to a regional centre which at present is difficult due to my husband's health.

- getting in the washing just before the rain started

- finding a new strategy to help me keep our home decluttered

@Former-Member

All those things sound really positive.

I'm interested in the new house decluttering strategy, I could use one of those.

Decluttering strategy revealed on page 135 of this discussion thread Decluttering and home maintenance where you might find some other helpful tips and encouragement.

Hey @HenryX, did you know that @Determined enjoys taking a run on his motorbike too?

We've got one gathering dust in our carport, would love to have it running again. I'm the pillion passenger, Hubby's the one who has the license.

@Smc @Determined

Hi Smc, thank you for your note and reference to determined. I'll have to apply the sentiment described in determined's forum name to my plans for riding on Sunday. I've been planning to get out on the motorbike for a week or two and have to give myself a little push now.

Best Wishes

What bike do you have @HenryX ?

I have a honda 500x

Don't ride as often as I would like. Mostly commuting atm.
