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.

Hi @Shaz51

How have your holidays been?

That is tough about your husband going off his meds... very difficult trying to balance encouraging him to stick with his treatment plan and letting him work it out himself. Understandable that your mind is going into overdrive! How are you looking after yourself?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Glad to hear you've been relaxing @Shaz51

Resort weekend away sounds lovely!! Was it a beachside spot, or in the country?

Ooh I love that you're doing a jigsaw too! What does yours depict? Mine is a bookshelf of fairytale books and characters

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

It was a country resort @Shimmer

your`s sounds great , need a photo when it`s finished

@Faith-and-Hope is doing a jigsaw puzzle too over in greece at the moment

I have not done a puzzle in a long time , I used to do them all the time , so my friend brought me one to start again

It is zebras and widelife in the countrysid

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Ooh the country, lovely @Shaz51

Haha really @Faith-and-Hope you're doing one too? Clearly they're all the rage at the moment! I saw a gorgeous one of Santorini in the games shop. That's really nice of your friend to buy you one @Shaz51, it's a great hobby to get back into! I find it very mindful. Zebras would be fun to make, matching all the stripes together! Sure, I'll post a photo when mine's done

Hi @Shaz51. Been doing lots damage to my credit card past few days. Buying gifts as well as things for myself haha. Hugs to you about your husband going off his meds. I love doing puzzles. Currently doing a 500 piece praying hands but haven't gotten back to finishing it for a few months. Like @Shimmer i love the fairytale ones too. Done lots of Disney Princess ones.
