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."

That's awful, Steve. We've had several near misses ourselves and it's usually been down to speeding drivers.
The roads can be dangerous and I'm sometimes glad I don't drive. Not this morning though, as I was on shank's pony to lug the shopping uphill all the way home 
Have a good day my friend xxx
It's an old saying from Scotland and Northern England, Steve.
The lower part of the legs used to be known as shanks, therefore, if a Stagecoach bus missed its pick-up you'd have to walk and be travelling on shank's pony. The pony part replaced 'nag'.
Bet you didn't think you'd be back at school this aft hon xxx
It's a saying that might be used in other parts of the country too, but maybe not in Pontypool.
Start using it yourself and baffle the locals xxx 
Afternoon folks. Scooterless' SIL on phone earlier, sober and useful. Didn't last, phone at lunch time, panic, the drainage bag isn't emptying!
Stressy hared round, their intoxication well under way. Bag problem solved by discovering that the nurse yesterday hadn't opened the tap!
Stressy is in stressy mode so tries to put me in firing line but I have an adept side step that a premier league footy player would be proud of. Sometimes that makes him more cross as his angst hasn't been dispersed
Parkinson's pal and pooch here for tea.
@tinkerbelle welcome. I hope you could tape your eyelids open for your early business and can now just chill out.
I do understand that some folk love the thrill of risk and danger and that this can be heightened by display for peers, and inhibitions lowered due to intoxicating substances... but so annoying that other people bear the brunt of their reckless stupidity 
Cheers
