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."

Oooh hopefully they will move their butts as unless they've triggered some 'unlettable' insurance they ain't making money on it.

I looked in but no new posts so I decided to leave it until now.
Quite a busy day, the final file landed as part the big Italian job, now finished bar any feedback/queries.
At 2.30 I finally left the house (not been out since Friday) in search of bread and milk. My favourite local shop had an offer on Jaffa cakes, how could I refuse? The manager is very friendly, we had a chat and - to my surprise - he told me about his prostate cancer, now in remission. As my brother is (still) going through it we were able to swop surgery and treatment stories. In the bread aisle!
I got my jaffa cakes, bread, milk and other life essentials so I can pull up the drawbridge for another few days.
Yeah, I hope nowt dodgy going on.
I think the problem was the previous tenants as they've only just moved out. If the mess they made was that bad, and any prospective tenants saw it, they were probably put off. I know I would have been but I'll be taking pics if we do want it so can't be blamed for existing damage. I won't be in line to lose the deposit as I'm careful xxx
Hide and seek posts!
Didn't buy anything. Might go to my go to shop for my maybe 6th pair of same style?
Actually I have lost a boot... whilst not wearing it when foot was broken and it's gone pffft! Not sure how good for duff foot, (the non broken one!!!) need go try them.
Sounds like you had a lovely day.
Cheers

We did. And I got a load of washing dry in the nice weather

Yay! Glad your outing was all positive!
Sounds like the title of TV series or theatre production The Bead Aisle
Oh btw can't you ask for an extension for tax return on health grounds? A few days to weedle out your info from them
Cheers
