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."

Great stuff. I'll tell you what I used to like but can't get any anywhere at all - burgers in batter. I've tried making my own but they're just not the same as the fish and chip shop version. Shame

Poor dad in law, Helen. I hope it won't be uncomfortable for him as neither of you would want to see him in distress 
Have you had a go at making fritters lovey? They couldn't be worse than my attempts at the burgers and no, I'm not staying cool. It might have to be the trotters in a bowl of cold water routine xxx
You tried making a request in your local chippy? There is nothing like a good chip shop and it is devasting when it changes hands, converts or just closes,.and I am a vegetarian! 
So traditional beef dripping frying is out.
At the time of my gastrectomy I lived two doors away from my chip shop. Cheese patty and chips 
I honestly didn't know what I would be able to eat post surgery (all happened quite quickly) but afterwards in the early days I would go in for 5 chips.
And I would share those with the dog and parrot, keeping chip shop tea tradition alive
Cheers
You paint a lovely picture 
Cheers

Aye lass, I've asked in a few chip shops and was told it would contaminate the oil/dripping so that was that. My quest for my craving will have to be shelved.
That's so kind of you to share 5 chips, but did you really have a parrot or are you having us on? I just love those birds xxx
well done xxx
