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."

Maybe Ukes, but the earlier storm headed north towards Taddy, so I reckon that's our lot.
I went out a while back to hack down the giant triffids in our garden. I didn't want to but had no option as they'd engulfed about 60% of the ruddy washing line! At least the rain made it easier to pull up some weeds. I detest gardening - I'd prefer the whole lot concreting over.
Hope your mood's better than mine Kiddo xxx
Aye lad, the storm gods didn't post our invites in time
Never mind, there's rain on the cards for next week and once the cold comes back I'll be happier than Larry!
Fusses and strokes for our Pippin and a pat on the back for you, cos you're a good 'un xxx
I love it that the old names are coming back. It was interesting looking at how names went in and out fashion as I took a register over 38 years of teaching.
Lots of Sarahs, Debbies, Jonathan's and Jamies, then Keirans, Kyle's, Emily's and Abbie's. Then later on Skys, Rivers, Sebastians and Aarons.
I had one girl called Champagne and she was an absolute pain .
