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.

I’m not bad @Faith-and-Hope. A new but old time zone for you to get used to again.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

hello @Faith-and-Hope, how are you today xx

it took me by surprise , as I ring my mum for encouragement and postive vibes to say everything will be ok and she said that and she said she means it

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Well ... it sounds like you would both benefit from it @Shaz51, and it is better that she pays the money to you than to another cleaner. She has probably been thinking about it for a while, and maybe she was nervous to ask you too.

Hi Everybody @Former-Member @soul @Shaz51 @outlander

I love horses in theory @outlander the last time I was on one I fell off. Then jumped on quick smart as I was terrified I was messing up a big family outing day. God only knows what it did to spine, so now I only love them at a distance.The speed at which I jumped back up was probably compulsive and driven. I was on tenterhooks all the time. Yeah to match the slowness I might have felt doing other things.

@Shaz51 I worked as a cleaner alongside my mother for a bit, just for company through the grieving periods. I did not mind it as it also meant our minds were not on our wounds. Then she would give me her students for a few months while she went over seas to see my sister. I was still thinking we were a family then, but your mother is very different from mine. If she has the money she knows she cant take it with her and would prefer to give it to you. I have done the same wth son ... given him business.

Its alright.
