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."

Aw that's sweet

I'll just tell you quickly. When my two were toddlers they loved to watch Cheggers Plays Pop and my eldest insisted that's what I should call her.
In Tesco's she was getting her hands a bit near the conveyor belt so I gently remonstrated and called her Cheggers, as it'd become a habit. The looks I got.
I suppose it's not as daft as some real names these days - Uki teaching a lass called Champagne for instance

Good evening folks how are we all doing?
The weather? Very confusing ... went to catch a metro into town at 4pm and it was blazing hot, too hot, sunshine. Siiigh! gap in metro service but boredom kept at bay by watching the rat, totally unfazed by people, popping in and out of litter bin!
Finally got into town to a little bar hosting a punk gig for pal of Stressy's 60th and I sat outside as noise was earbleed level ... it was absolutely flipping freezing!
Stayed for a couple of bands, witnessed the 'get a sticker highest up a lamppost for a pint a pint of mash' competition. This involved a human tower and was countered by the questionable addition of use of a van roof.
Then off for Indian street food at a place we hadn't tried before. Stuffed and armed with take-home tubs, Stressy left on scooter and I set off for metro.
Missed one by seconds, the one before it was listed as delayed which is always confusing and eventually the next one is due ... except only when it doesn't arrive and IS delayed do they admit it is delayed 
Checked app and it reckoned next one due in 170 mins. What? Gave up and decided on taxi. None at rank! So decide to walk, saw another rat in town!
Cheers
Great stories Uki, and I agree, cruel parenting.

Evening! Parents should need to sit an exam and be licensed. Our local paper used to run a club that kids could join. You got a badge, a mention on your birthday and there was a letters page.
I kid you not, we had Crispin Bacon, Chrystal Ball etc Names may be a joke when your baby is new but sadly they will live with them and the consequences for many years.
DOH! Sucks about your 
Cheers
Evening Shimmer 
You don't half have some interesting days you, mine are mostly groundhog days.
Now I know this will be unpopular as they're pests, but I've got a soft spot for rats - pet ones are adorable and super intelligent. Not that we've ever had one but folk we knew had and I'd let them
climb all over me. The rats, not the folk.
Did you mean Stressy was 60 or his pal? I get easily confused at this time of night. Talking of which you know what that means. De da deeerrr xxx
