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."

No fail Shimmer - you got your butt there and in the chair, so well done you. 
No need to kick butts for punching cushions cos I've not done anything like that. Cracking skulls is more in mind atm 
Are you going to rest up for a while now hon? xxx
Aw no worries Steve, but I should take some too - the amount of so called unhealthy food I put away is untrue! I do eat fruit though, along with the stodge and cakes 
Have a good evening my lovely xxx
Evening Kez 
How's your Dad today sweetheart?
Sending you lots of love xxx
Hello Gill
We are in Ovacik which lies between Oludeniz and Fethiye on the Mediterranean coast. Although we are less than 2 miles from the sea we are almost 1000 feet above sea level.
9 years ago we were having a “cheeky weeks” holiday whilst looking after Lorraine’s mum and dad, fell in love with the place and saw a villa we loved We worked out that if we both took the 25% Tax free bits from our pension we could buy it and as they say the rest is history.
it took 5 years to get it to where we wanted it but it’s sorted now and all the children (we have 4) use it as well as us.
It not as easy owning a property abroad as you would think but sitting out tonight watching the sunset with a Raki and having had a swim in the pool makes up for some of the issues we have had!!
Life is hard - sometimes I wish I would have bought a place earlier but for us - right time, right place.
We are so lucky to have it.
Tomorrow it’s the local market for our fresh fruit and vegetables.
Kind regards-Brian xx

You've done well Brian, and it's great that the whole family can enjoy it. That market sounds good but I'd be making a bee line for the bread stalls as I love it nice and fresh. Yummy 
and then I'd totter towards the fruit.
It was Uki who asked where you're located but I reckon we'll all appreciate knowing how close you are to the sea and such, and now know how you ended up landing such a superb property. The photos attest to that.
Enjoy your evening hon, supping Raki and gazing at the sunset, maybe the chirruping of cicadas providing some hypnotic background vibes.
I've got chuffing rugby and the ref's shrill pea-whistle every 3 seconds! Brilliant. 
Good to know it's all going swell and keep up the enjoyment factor champ xxx
