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."

Uki, did the comedy farce, involving your SiL, make it into the Huddersfield Examiner crime reports? That would make for great reading and I'd be able to show off, telling all and sundry that I actually know the perp's FiL giving me an air of celebrity.
Love the latest birdy info but I'll have you know there's nowt common about our wood pigeons - they're quite regal in the way they strut around our overgrown garden.
