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.

Hello @Lilyflower16 - Welcome to the forums

Congrats @Determined *throws confetti*

Hello everyone else @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope @soul @Shaz51 @Spookytookims - I am barely standing today. So damn exhausted. So dizzy yesterday at dance. Got a sudden migrane which made my dizzy. Burning out somehow I think. Been really anxious since Sunday over work stress mostly and so have not slept much. Today been much better so think it is the compilation of it all come crashing down to cause this sudden exhaustion!

Hello all... just briefly sticking my nose in.

After a few stressful days, I had a nice afternoon out with my hubby today. We met my sister for lunch, went shopping for a few things. Mostly necessaries like food, but also stopped at an op shop and got a mixture of useful oddments. I love scrounging around second hand stores, everything from places selling rare antiques to the bric a brac shelves in the oppies. 😄 Mind you, most of the actual spending's done at the op shop end of the scale.

And special treat on the way home was picking the most beautifully yummy crimson apples off a wild roadside tree. Methinks I now need to make time to do some bottling so we've got some to tide us over winter/spring when fresh local fruit is in short supply. (Yeah, of course the supermarkets have fruit all year round, but cool-stored apples aren't quite as nice as home grown/home bottled. If I spice a few of the bottles, we can strain off spiced apple juice when we open them, and heat it up for a real treat of a drink!)
