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.

That chamomile orange and honey was not much of an improvement on the straight chamomile @Former-Member think i will stickwith the spiced apple in future. Yuk 😝

@soul you asked how I'm doing.. I'm doing good today... a few weeks ago I had a shift... an opening of a babushka doll if you remember my analogy I like to use for my recovery shifts. I think this last one has had a profound effect/affect on me in a finality kind of way.. whatever has happened has really shifted me into a different mind set almost a different persona.. almost to where I look to the side to see that other stuff now.

Don't know if that makes any sense whatsoever, but it's the way I feel it and the way it is. In a weird way it kind of makes me feel guilty... now that bit I can't quite work out yet!

@Spookytookims teetotalling here in sympathy for Mr Darcy and his meds ... but completely disapprove of of overindulgence so am in a dilemma as to whether or not to accept your offer to save you from a hangover.

@Former-Member hahahaha closest I've got to a Walla/Heppel hairstyle is over a hundred beaded plaits.... (I have a LOT of hair). When I travelled it was super easy to look after so I'd get it done in Thailand and it would last for ages, had to get it redone in Africa once... OMG they do it really really tight it hurt for days before my scalp got used to it or they loosened, or it grew or whatever happened it was a relief not to have that constand tightness all over my head.

now that I think of it... that's probably a great way to have non-surgical face lifts 😛 @Former-Member

haha @Former-Member yes you might need to do a sneaky to save me from a glass at least 🙂

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I always fancied trying dreadlocks @Spookytookims or an undercut but was never game. @Shaz51 did you ever go for anything fancy, perhaps the Farrah Fawcett look in the 80s can almost guarantee @Faith-and-Hope would have. How 'bout you @Former-Member

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

A nonsurgical face lift sounds good @Spookytookims but Africa is a long way to go for it.

@Determined did you ever have a mullet? The proof of the tea will be if you sleep or not ... expect a full report tomorrow.

@Former-Member now I need to make a @Shaz51 parrot with Dame edna glasses and a Farrah Fawcett hairstyle... but think that will just make that parrot fall off her perch... so going to refrain although I am SOOOOOO tempted to do it!

Can imagine @Shaz51, for some reason I thought you might have had blonde hair.
