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.

Hi @Kreagor, don't think I've met you yet.

I've got a theory that everyone takes Jane Austen's books too seriously. I tend to read them as comedy more so than romantic- but there's a good dose of both in there.

Hi @YTT, I think you're new to me too?

It's hard when everyday things become big challenges with MI. Hope your daughter's plane trip goes OK.

@Former-Member All the best with the cooking challenge. I've done a bit of adapting recipes for gluten/dairy/nut/egg free eating. Occasionally all the above at once. With a bit of imagination and improvisation, it's do-able.

... had a bit of a challenging evening last night. A bit serious for Hot Choc so I'll put up a post about it in the DID thread I started ages ago.

@Smc@Former-Member

Yeah I'm new around here. I have a horrible memory though and can never remember anyone!

@Smc hope this evening is calmer.

It takes a while @YTT ..... don’t worry, we are all in the same boat ......

Can you tag me to the other thread please @Smc ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@YTT We've been invited to our neighbours' place to see in the New Year, which is usually enjoyable. It tends to be a relaxed evening of sitting around the big outside table catching up. Snacking and drinking, but neither to excess. They invite about 30 or so, give or take. Once the countdown and the "Happy New Years" are over we can just wander back home, and it's a civilised enough gathering that we can be confident of sleeping.

I was going to do some baking to contribute to the snacks, but will scale back to a fruit punch. Non-alcoholic. If people want it "stronger" they can add something to their own cupful.

Happy New Year to all here if I don't get to saying it later.
