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.

I do use a recipe if it's something unfamiiar, but even then if I'm missing an ingredient, I'll see if I can find a suitable substitute. I occasionally get flops, but not too often. Hassle with that is, it's harder to hand over cooking duties to hubby or offspring. I don't have too many options that are made up of measurable, standard ingredients. While I was away at my parents' house for the last week, the two "kids" still at home made a decent stab at meals... yay! (The 19 y.o. made a pretty decent tuna mornay one night and fried rice for another. The 12 y.o. made her specialty noodles with tuna, vegs and pineapple. Uni student style cooking, but she's getting in young enough that she should have progressed to better things by the time she's 18.
