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."

Evidently Gill, eclairs first appeared in the early 1800s. So you could have been whoofing them down whilst playing a bit of Moonlight Sonata.

Morning Helen

We did have a tiny Boots in town - 42 years ago! Like most shops here, now long gone.

Julie's photo shows what to look for, so I'll go on the hunt next time I bus it. Superdrug might stock it.

Yes, it was lousy last night so maybe join me in a nana nap later to catch up xxx

At 7-30am the furniture delivery people phoned as promised, leaving an unintelligible message. Presumably a time. I had set my alarm for 7am but was still trying to motivate myself to get up and dressed. Prompted by the call, I got ready then went downstairs. They arrived at 7-45am, moments after. Nice chaps, fast but careful workers. 20 minutes later they'd gone. I like the sofa and armchair but after having a few weeks with open space, I'm having to adjust to navigating around furniture again.

Glad they have arrived safely Ray and you like them. Sit and have a rest now.xxx
