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 am trying short posts to see if they less vulnerable but it may get annoying
Cheers
Crutch!Minger! Fabulous!
Does he answer to those?
Well done reporting the glitches and I think the hamsters really have beggared off with Julie's hearts as they'd disappeared when I came back from TLC xxx
Short posts will cross.
I'm still pursuing that flat I was after and won't stop till I know it's a goner.
I'm dogged like that and want to win. I've done it before with a house. Pester power xxx
He is unaware of both monikers
You may recall he made his bedsit less appealing and less hygienic than a skip. Squatters would have complained.
Despite interventions this was so for years. Then he was given a flat, then moved out of the city and when we visited it was like the pod people had been.
He really needs to be back here as has no transport and now uses an almost 6ft crutch
Cheers
Like a terrier or Pitbull yep I never believe stuff is not possible till every smidge of hope has been wrung out
Cheers
Mega! You don't half know some characters Shims.
That place I went to last week, when I was parcel hunting, would have been stiff competition for Minger I'll bet xxx
So OH got sorted this morn, extra breaki out, no MIL, what else put pep into your day
Cheers
I'm a Pitbull in terrier's fur.
I'd like to say tenacious but stubborn as a mule will suffice. I've been on it again this evening - OH gave me that here she goes again look...
Ooh does OH feel he can still argue back? Or was that always a lost cause
Cheers
1. No mother today, but when her diary gets a day off from afternoon soirées, and she's nowt better to do, she'll be back.
2. The pleasure of someone else cooking, waiting on us and washing up afterwards.
3. Completing several forms that arrived for OH yesterday and posting them off today. I don't muck about.
4. No mother today.
