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.

☕️

41 @Anony18 I'd be one wilted wildflower.

Glad there are good plans and meaningful connections being made.

Hi @Newwave I guess you had heat wave too .. tends to make it harder for me to cope.

@Shaz51 Swimming sounds good .. I might try doing it some more ..

I had a lovely visit from an old student and her mum .. known the family for 10 years .. and they kept me in their christmas round .. Good people ... it keeps me hopeful ... YES there are still very good people in the world .. amongst all the bumps & bruises we get.

Hello @Appleblossom, @Anony18. @Newwave

YES there are still very good people in the world .. @Appleblossom xx

but it is strange , even though we don`t expect it but it is surprising which ones of our customers will give you something for christmas as a present while other won`t

@Shaz51 - that be nice swimming especially if the weather is hot☀️☀️☀️

@Appleblossom - definitely melted like a snowman when I just put my foot outside! Now in an air conditioned room ☺️☺️☺️ That was really nice of them to see you. Definitely have good people still out there. Just may be a bit rarer than the past but definitely exist!

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I've got some mulled wine heating up if anyone is interested 🙂 Can that compete with the smell of brewing coffee @Appleblossom?

Hello @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @NikNik

Hubby has taken up having 2 beers a day lately and me joining in (it is a bit hard not too ) but he said he is going to stop as he thinks it is affecting with his meds

not sure if this is true but it will be good for him and me, what do you think ???

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

HI @Shaz51 - great he's recognising that 🙂 It wouldn't hurt to stop.

If you are curious though about the specific meds, you can use the Medicines Line: 1300 633 424

Hi @Shaz51 !

I think if it is affecting his meds than it wouldn't hurt to stop or do it less I guess, but yes maybe call the medicines line? You could have a nice cuppa, iced tea or mineral water if it's more about that nice time together 🙂
