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.

Yes well not much got done here today, at least everything felt like a struggle.

Work didn't send my Roster schedule (for Monday) out until 8pm tonight (24 hours late) - so I was wondering all day where I was going (or what doing) for Monday.

My neighbour has insisted on going ahead with an entire replacement fence on Monday ($5000 cost), giving me only 2 days notice (she told me late Friday afternoon).

I've gently made it quite clear that I do not have that kind of money, certainly not at short-notice.

Her price is for a premium colorbond fence, with $1500 of unnecessary extras - the fencing Act (law) says obligation is only to pay half for a "sufficient (basic) fence", not for a higher cost one.

Oh well, I went to my yoga class, & I got my hair cut. Then I swept the house & did some household jobs - at least that's something.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Ha ha, missed the boat for yesterday @Former-Member. But not a problem, I have just put the kettle on for today. I would welcome your company when you are able to get back.

I'm a tea drinker as well, so I have the kettle just boiled, proper tea leaves (English Breakfast) poised and ready to drop in. Okay kettle boiled now and tea made. I have a little milk jug and a sugar bowl all ready to go. I even cut up some lemons in case you like lemon in black tea. I even included some sweet treats for those who like them.

If anyone else is around, please call in as well. @Faith-and-Hope @Adge @Smc @Determined @Shaz51
