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."

Well then the world is your lobster although when it was the end of the world the other week when Stressy's wouldn't play... most of the ones in Argos that met his requirements and then mine of not requiring his spleen were out of stock according to an online check. Won't have one bought online despite being quicker than going to shop but once it was letting him in to his banking again it's dropped off his to do list anyway.
Cheers
Aw thanks lovely, and so do we about Eddie
Yes, I've seen the Willowbrook ad on a channel that also hawks funeral plans and kitchen makeovers. Obviously aimed at us lot over a certain age!
I didn't watch Going for Gold, but I remember it being on. I am usually more into Mastermind or University Challenge, when my brain is working. Currently I am slumped in front of the TV a lot of the time so I am more exposed to things I find irritating. I am also an advertising copywriter, so marvel at how many companies break the first rule - don't insult your audience!
No wonder I can't sleep!
Ooh found the video on their site. I assume it's the same or similar to TV ad.
Hasn't persuaded you to invest then? cheers
Ah, it's let me reply now!
You know I told you about the little phone repair shop in town where OH got his phone? Well we went in there for a charger and I told him my phone was on the blink and to show me what he'd got on offer.
I'm like Stressy, wanting the goods NOW so he's already put one aside for Monday and he'll do the transfer data as I'm useless, and throw in a new case. Phones these days don't seem to last more than 2 years but I give mine a lot of Welly as I don't put our laptop and tablet to any use.
Must get them sorted and stop mucking about xxx
I cannot imagine ever having one of those monstrosities, even if it made me feel ecstatic! If I won one I would give it away! So you are right!
Funerals are another subject I have to suffer during daytime TV sessions.
Major irritation for the day.
Those who pronounce vigil as 'vijual'.
Even broadcasters and presenters do it! Aagghhh!
