Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

Morning Gill
Alan is chomping at the bit to get going but our ferry crossing is not until 10pm, we're going to head down to the port early to see if they'll let us get the ferry before, if it's not busy they normally allow it. If they are busy they may ask for an extra charge, if so we'll wait for our booked time.

Morning all
Am I the only person who wasn’t watching Eurovision? I didn’t even know it was on until the other day but it’s not something I normally watch so don’t feel I’ve missed out. I believe we didn’t do too well…did any of you like our entry?
It was a gorgeous day when I woke up-hoping we get this nice weather later in the week that’s been forecast-Gill, you’ll be staying inside if it’s sunny!
Happy holidays Helen-it must be so great having the motorhome and doing your own thing at your own pace.

Morning Sarah ️
Same here lass - blue skies when I woke up but a little rain now. Yeah! I'll definitely be hiding indoors when it heats up later this week but plan on using said heat for drying all the washing, so all good.
It was reading comments last night that got me watching some of Eurovision, as OH had gone to bed and I couldn't find a decent film. I was aghast at the outfits most were wearing, and that included the presenters from all the countries. God knows what the designers were on, but I want some of it as it must put them on another planet! I've only seen snippets of our entry but have witnessed far better by watching In the Night Garden. Say no more.
Anyway Sarah, you and your OH have a lovely day and take things easy xxx
