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."

Oooooh I never got that opportunity! Wow! Always estate agent or owner.

Once got mentioned in the paper .. sort of. Me and partner at the time viewed a property, bloke resident but obvious to us partner had left taking some of the contents.

We were quite interested but quickly decided it wasn't right after all.

Ad went back in paper 'Due to time wasters ...'

Cheers

When I was young mum got the keys to view a house and I noticed feet sticking out of one of the rooms.A tramp had broken in and was having a doze.Another property I viewed with mum said a must for railway lovers.The kitchen door opened right above the track and the whole house shook violently when the train went by.Didn’t end up with either of those properties.
