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 @Anony18 I have seen some nice coloured leggings on ebay but have not been game enough to order on line. Any tips you could give me?

@Spookytookims @Determined @Former-Member @Former-Member @Appleblossom @Faith-and-Hope

Any mocktails on offer?

For what it's worth @Former-Member, I love your art so keep posting your efforts up on the forums. You produce such amazing stuff because you are a beautiful sensitive person. Unfortunately sometimes that sensitivity can get the better of people and they take things very much to heart. Don't doubt your talent.

That's awful about your ankle - remember to ice it, apply compression, keep it raised and rest. Little siblings can be annoying. See their immaturity for what it is. It does take two to argue. If you don't engage perhaps she will give up.

Try to have a balance between study, leisure, rest and exercise. Making a schedule may help get you organised and motivated.

Hi @soul. I dont have straight Chamomile, but I do have chamomile with peppermint. I like it much better than straight chamomile. Would you like to try some?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi @Former-Member - ebay is generally a safe place to purchase items and there is buyer protection. Some tips are:

  • Review the item description
  • Review the feedback of the buyer. You generally want to buy from a buyer with 98% to 100% rating. It also tells you how many people have feedback and it is all linked. You can see the comments on them, eg quick delivery, good communication etc
  • Look at postage costs - sometimes these can cost more than the item, particularly if you buy from someone in US
  • Look at delivery timeframe - they should give you rough ideas when it will reach. Note though if it is from China, HK. generally take much longer. Like over a month. I try avoid buying big items from them because although cheap, generally quality is not cheap and it takes ages for them to reach you.

Hope that helps
