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."

The signings they've made certainly look promising! I think Sesko will cope well in today's premier league... all we need now is a decent keeper and get rid of onana
Hi hon, I'm back (was sorting H out).
I've remembered what the message said - temporarily disabled. Unless Sian comes here, she won't be able to message either. How's today been chick? Better I hope, and if you can't sleep, you know I'll be here.
Love and hugs xxx
Oooh Gilly, your poor OH, doing enough exercise for both of you, I hope you didn't enjoy it too much, and you reciprocating by having enough chocolate torte for two, how wonderfully magnanimous of you, and next week maybe you should order a sausage sarnie when you first arrive, and you can get back on the treadmill as well
.
Wow my friend, SKY, and a riser recliner, it's all change at your place this week, LOH will think it's his birthday and Christmas all rolled into one, but I'm sure, like me, if your OH is happy, so are you, have fun assembling the chair, I've never done one, so can't help, but thank you Gilly, I'm sure we'll have a lovely weekend, the results were a nice surprise, but the twins are a little young for the a paddle, but maybe a little ice cream.
love Eddie and Sheila xx
Well let's hope they read this thread lad, and listen to their fans rather than faceless big-wigs. It'd be a nice thought but that's all it will be, and that goes for all clubs. Personally I hate it when my favourite players go elsewhere; it took a while for the rage to settle down over Cantona but way back in the past and forgotten now.
Anyroad, enjoy watching your team and cheer them on, as that's what we'll be doing with ours. I'm afraid the chances of seeing them play live are out of the question for the foreseeable, but I kept my promise to my man I'd do the next best thing and get Sky. We're well chuffed xx
Cantona became a utd legend... there's been some good ones went the other way too... Gordon Strachan and Lee Sharpe for example
Very true Steve, and I once had a quick conversation with Gordon when he was in Burger King near the ground. This was several years ago mind.
Hey, I just worked out in my head that I started going to Elland Road before you were born - I'm suddenly feeling very old...
Hi again Eddie.
Well the reason I was uber strict with OH is because I was unsure whether his accessory nerve had been cut during his surgery. His mobility in his neck and shoulders has been badly impaired ever since, making the possibility of him driving again a bit remote, but I found out on Wednesday that his nerve is still intact and mobility can be improved, quite a bit. But... only if he puts the effort in so I'm cracking the whip to give him added incentive, as he's a lazy lad and needs someone to push him on - that's me.
Oh, about the food; there were two fried eggs left and I knew he wanted them in a butty so that's what he got, even though he motioned I should have them. I really do make sure he gets everything I can do for him, and he gets my soft side as well as the hard as nails one. It works for us and my rewards are boxes of chocs from the top shop. Yummy!
The recliner and Sky are his rewards for having such a horrible year, and we didn't have Christmas at all as he was in hospital and I was home alone. But that's behind us now and we're really looking forward to it this year - only four months away!
Oh Eddie, I didn't realise the little ones were babies, but maybe a dab of ice cream on their dummies if mummy says it's ok.
Love to you and Sheila xxx

Hi Well, so much for that! My message to you all firstly was published twice and now it has been deleted! Ever get the feeling your not wanted!!!
Have a great weekend everyone, I’m off to do my Jigsaws! I may pop in later, if I can!
Love Annette x
Morning Annette and it's great you're back. Aye, the gremlins are after me, too - logging me out, no access to PMs and stuff. It's not good because if you don't hear from friends for a while, it's worrying, isn't it?
Well now I know you're ok, so am I lass. I was just thinking about putting on my ghost stories when the phone alerted. I was even debating to make a start assembling our new chair, but then told myself to stop acting crackers as it's two in the morning!
Love Gill xxx
