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.

Can you call her @Catcakes ? Will that make you feel less guilty or will she play on it ?

@Faith-and-Hope, too many boxes of attempted sorting sitting around already. But i've been gradually accumulating decorative boxes, tins and suitcases with the intention of using them for storage. I keep dreaming of using them to do something like this- artist Gail Reike's studio.

I just don’t want to @Faith-and-Hope because if I sense any degree of vulnerability , or if she doesn’t answer I will have to get in the car and drive there 😣

Good evening all, a bit late in on the lunar event but I got up for a pit stop somewhere close to 2am. Saw a bit more than a smidgen of the eclipse.

Loving the studio suitcase wall @Smc. Could Mr Fixit rig you up a set of shelves for your collection?

@Former-Member, he could, but his work is very hand-skills intensive and I'm reluctant to take him away from it. He misses so much work time due to family needs as it is. Besides, cabinetry/woodwork is high on my list of "want to learn" skills, so if it gets done, I'd like to be the one who has done it.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

That sounds like a great idea @Smc Many moons ago I did a woodworking class and made a bookcase specifically to hold some taller books we had and thoroughly enjoyed doing it. Think we ended up giving it away as we got glass doored bookcases after some pups we had took to chewing books in open shelves.

Bespoke shelving, strong enough for the job, especially when diy I would imagine would be immensely satisfying.

@Smc ..... I am eyeing off a space in the hallway here and considering a set of pigeon holes that I can stack with neat and interesting storage containers. Don’t know how much I can get past my mr. yet .... but I am going to start with bookshelves in a corner of the lounge and see where that goes.
