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."

she has got a lad that is 17 and he is a professional singer think he is 18 now the rest are all younger..that made me laugh gill about you chopping onions and tatties. he gets injured sometimes from the martial arts he bruised his ribs and hurt his ear recently.
Well it's a cut throat industry but as long as he takes care, good luck to the lad. Let us know if he gets his big break and becomes famous.
Have you heard him sing, like on YouTube or similar? Sorry hon, being nosey again but it's getting near TLC and I'm trying to stall xxx
Excellent. If he does make it big, you'll have to give a couple of hints about him, then I can have a look. No names though as it's against the law here.
I'll have to go lovey, as I can't put it off any longer. Make sure you're comfortable and a nice, hot drink could put you in the mood for snoozing.
Love and hugs and enjoy the rest of your evening xxx
Well hello folks. Apologies again, not for sleeping but for nodding off mid chat without saying Nyt.
Ooh glad some folk have had rain. We had a bit in the night and a couple of showers this morning but still warm and then hot when the sun was back.
Oops better post the pic I mentioned last night. I am snapping the fabulous array of stuff that grows out and about, some planted, some feral.

Salvia, growing outside Aldi
Cheers
