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."

Night Ray, sleep well hon xxx 
I've got hayfever and my eyes feel like Gloy's been poured in them!
Sweet dreams xxx
RayMK nyt hun, sweet dreams.
Gloy! Oh that brings back memories! 
You retiring too? Seems like a good idea. You have scheming and plotting afoot
Cheers
Everything considered already Shimmer.
The only incoming benefit is OH's PIP and that's it. I don't get anything and have to pay tax as small private pension and not quite full state pension just exceeds the threshold. 
Yeh, that would throw a spanner if potential landlord decided to sell up but I'll be seeking advice on that as one of the first steps. I've always got something as a backup and my eldest owns a very large house with spare bedrooms. I'm sure she'd oblige in the short term as she wouldn't like to see a couple of old crocks homeless.
Should we follow Ray's example hon and get some kip? xxx
Hi Gill
Same here they have twice lost the form l put in for sadly hubby's widows pension I've applied for and messing me about with the PIP payments they haven't paid me a dime of the carers money.
But good news l have a few hours in a supermarket working! But being a foodie has unexpected reaction in me, after a bit it all looks tasty lol, even seeded reduced healthy looking bread starts to look like worth buying lol
I am near 60 and my hair has gone grey, my hairdresser is refusing to dye my hair as the grey makes me feel depressed she said l should look my age and cut my hair short as lm older. But l want to look a bit tidier for work as most of the girls have very modern hair at work...is it me or the hairdresser thats off kilter.
I know with cancer treatment folk are loosing hair and l think wigs or pretty scarves help to feel more normal whatever normal is then its right. I think maybe I'm the oldest teenager on the block lol
Thinking of consultant telling myself and hubby you may loose your hair...hubby was sitting there like frigging Kojak, he was bald you do wonder if they read from a script 
lol
Sending hugs and love to anyone feeling crap about their hair or if its falling out...you are beautiful still you are a child of the universe and thinking Desiderata despite all its broken dreams the world is still a beautiful place.
And l think if we want to wear scarves or dye our hair l think its right to be ourselves.
Xxxx
Morning Dinggy Dong 
Wow. Just processing all your latest news hon, but firstly big congratulations on getting a job and I'd be exactly the same - working amongst all the goodies would be far too tempting to resist and +sized clobber would be on the menu as well!
Your hairdresser sounds programmed to treat anyone over a certain age the same - stay grey and invisible and short styles are easier for her! I say choose a wild colour and get extensions...er, well maybe not that drastic but something YOU like, not her and maybe just a few blue streaks. You're as old as you feel Dingg, and I'm still still 16 in my head but my treacherous mirror tells a vastly different tale and keeps adding another 10 years to my age every birthday. Not fair, but I've joined the frigging Kojak ranks too along with hubby and OH. I've held off on a wig, for now, but pom-pom time's just around the corner so I'll be sorted soon. Yep, stress causes the ol' follicles to give up the ghost too.
Not to worry about that but the DWP should get its fingers pulled out asap and get you your dues. It angers me when big establishments muck us little people about, so push them as much as you can till you get a result. Our Shimmy's very switched on with stuff like this so may have some pointers. Fingers crossed the dollars will start rolling in soon my lovely.
I was thinking about your lad christening the lovingly prepared casserole a WW2 throwback...did you use Gramp's ration book coupons to give the ingredients extra authenticity?
Righto chicken, this granny of the universe has to get stuck into the chores, so it's been swell to chat and a big parcel of love and hugs is on the way right now xxx xxx
Hope you find somewhere quickly once you get the wheels in motion. xxx
