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.

Revenge of the Chocateer @Spookytookims, has me shaking at the mere thought.

It is time for me to hit the sack, K9 hot water bottles might be needed tonight as the temps drop.

I am not surprised at all @soul .... I expect you will experience a huge emotional backwash for at least a couple of days ..... go gently forward friend ....

Hello @Former-Member. Like you I too am allergic to cats. As a kid I loved cats, but couldnt go near them. Thankfully my allergy has reduced considerably, but its still there in a milder form. I try to avoid them if possible.

Hot water bottles, yes, Holly is my hot water bottle at night. She often burrows under the bed covers and warms up a spot in the bed for me. Then she sleeps in the crook of my right arm once I go to bed too.

Hi there @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 @soul @Anony18, I hope you have a great Sunday planned?

Very true @Spookytookims - we wont mention the footy results from last night at all! Stamp, stomp, dummy spit. Very upset! Grrrrr ............

A very disappointed Sherry
