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."

I do love your flower pics, Shims. A request. Whenever you take one, please post here as they're madly appreciated xxx ️
True. Head inland just a bit for Lincolnshire (I lived there for a couple of years). There's a beautiful cathedral, deserted fens and two functioning Avro Lancasters to see and hear (one can fly, the other is being restored to flight standard). Skeggy was a strange seaside town with too many shops selling lethal looking knives - I only went there three times. Mablethorpe seemed a more friendly place. xxx
I am so glad it worked for you. When people find the right fit at a good time, possibilities are endless.
Oi you! Yes you! How very dare you suggest unprofessional shenanigans over the counselling couch!
Apart from raising expectations ahem, I now have the image of a counselling lecturer front and centre in my mind...he was a socks and sandals man and suspect still would be in Hawaii
Cheers
Ray, OH's bro lives in Lincoln and worked at RAF Scampton for many years. Not a pilot but on the fire team or something.
It did sound like he spent most of the night shift watching telly or swinging in a hammock. Nice work if you can get it and an even nicer redundancy shell out, which he did get xxx
I'll bet Sonia's temperature will rise when she reads Sir Ray's post...
Shimmer, if you've nodded off, or getting there, hit the hay hon. You have very busy days xxx
