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 would have been nice @YTT, (the lookout that is)

Are there many thing you can do places you can go close to home so it is not too boring or lonely.

@Shaz51 whin my inlaws lived 6 hours away just being able to talk on the phone was a huge help for my darling. They eventuality moved closer after Dad retired to help out. Now they live next door.

@Determined

Not sure, I really want to join a bush walking group but I'm too scared to take that first step (lol pardon the pun).

I hate how I wish my days away, I'll be back at work before I know it and wish I was on holidays lol

I tried taking my daughter (who has MI) to the movies but she declined and said another day, even the lure of gold class didn't coax her.

I have got one in that hit-and-miss state of quasi-engagement at the moment @YTT .....

Hi @YTT - don’t think we’ve met. I’ve been on the forums for a while but have had a break. Sorry that you are finding it difficult to connect with your daughter. I know a thing or two about that. Your name reminds me of that song and dance show with all the kids from way back hosted by Johnny Young - Young Takent Time

@Determined - the weather has been stinking hot lately. Storms just seem to cool things down for a little bit then bring out the humidity. The real temperature always seems a few degrees higher than the weather app indicates. How are things with the kids and your Darling?

@Shaz51 - didn’t know that you have been away. I guess it happens a lot this time of the year. Glad to have you back.

@Faith-and-Hope - any update on your situation? Are you on the east or west coast these days?

@Former-Member - hope you’re coping with Mr D as best you can.
