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."

We are on a complex of 42 properties. They are a mix of 2/3 and 2, 5 bedroom properties (we have one of the 2 5 bedroom ones - well I have 4 children 
).
We have 4 pools - the one in the picture is the main pool, we have a smaller one and 2 children's pools. The pools, pool furniture and all garden costs are covered by a maintenance contract paid between all of us.
We have our own well so no water bills and the rates are £18 a year and our dustbins get emptied every day!!

Afternoon Julie 
I'm not complaining, for once, about our weather as between the showers there's warm sun and strong winds - OH's shirts dried within 15 minutes. 
Did you have a good birthday once you got home sweetheart? xxx
Ours is the right hand half of this ‘photo. We have 4 floors, one below ground level.

Brian - we'll be on the next plane out!
(Skids to a dramatic halt!)
Or maybe not, as neither of us have passports and flying was like torture with my dodgy eardrum. We'll make do with your smashing photos

Same here Gill, regarding passports. Mine expired 10 years ago.
Macmillan should set up a villa in the Pennines, equipped with sunlamps so that we can impress neighbours on return from our villa. I'd make the effort to go there. Do I need a passport to enter Yorkshire or will a blue badge do 
? xxx
Ray, that's a smashing idea about a Pennine villa! 
It would be centralised for most of us, Soc and Brian wouldn't have far to travel, and a cosy hub would provide a nice, relaxing retreat for night owls and vampires alike. We could chat instead of posting and my incessant jabbering on could be the cure for insomniacs everywhere! Over to you, Macmillan.
My passport expired eons ago, but I don't like to gaze at the photo as it could be my own great grandkid! Not good xxx
We are on any 90 days in any 180 to go to Turkey - Mrs Millibob had been close one year as I left her there with the children over the hollibobs having to come home for a scan.
As for a villa in Yorkshire - I am up for it - where I live in 
Oldham I can see Yorkshire from the from bedroom.
