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.

Thinking of you @Adge .....

Can you also ask your neighbour to engage in a payment plan where you pay her a small sum per fortnight ..... making it clear to her how shackled you are with finances at the moment ?

Please also consider charity food shops, food hampers, food vans etc for the moment. You are a very giving person ..... so contribute back on those directions when you are able to.

One suggestion I would like to make is that you approach a church that needs its garden weeded and ask whether you can barter - work for tinned food items. It might get you a leg-in to doing small landscape jobs for members of the congregation.

That's fine @Former-Member I know you were asking out of caring.

I was just so tired when trying to reply.

Even more tired this morning - didn't sleep well again.

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope

Good suggestions.

I'm booked in to go to local council sponsored Christmas lunch - run by local churches.

It's for people who don't have any gathering to go to - or who can't afford a Christmas lunch.

Good morning everyone!

@Smc I'll join you for some morning chocolate. I'm having a bit of a slow start today! Feeling a little jealous of this guy...

Hi @Former-Member

I'm still at work for several hours yet.

Then I go home. To find out whether those tradesmen (the neighbour got) have already demolished the old Jarrah fence.

They were not there this morning when I left.

It's really strange, because I've not even met these tradesmen.

I've not signed any contract, & I've had no part in any negotiations.

I hope it works out okay for you @Adge ....

Hi @Former-Member 👋

Think I need a coffee. I’ve got no stuffing.
