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."

Ooh Michael did get us on scene for a recent kill but others in the bus said they didn't want to see that!

Ok I will stop.

Do you know when you might get an update on your flat application?

Cheers

Not really, but I'll see if there's any developments tomorrow, as that'll be a week since I first pestered. The decorating was still underway then so I suppose it's waiting to be finished.

I'll keep updating if there's anything to report but I've still got a niggling feeling about it. I'm a doubting Thomas and never think it's a done deal till it is xxx

Yeah about 3 hours in the end, enough to make people think I won't be coming back lol. Looks like everyone has been having a lively time in the meantime.

Yeah I just looked at the time thinking it was much later!

Sadly pics are actual photos packed away years ago. Lots were taken by partner at the time on a better camera and I was a poor student when we parted, I couldn't afford to get copies.

Sheesh how times have changed regarding images! Now you can publish twenty pics of your socks if you wish

Cheers

Yep! I am with you. It's not done until it is and there's never 'no way, too late' until every avenue has been squeezed until the pips squeak!

Ooh is that Fliegel back?

Cheers

Yeah and print it yourself on some material where it becomes waterproof. Never done anything fancy with my printer like that. May account for why it still works.

I know. It's taken some of the magic away and I loved looking at and holding tactile photos on my journey down memory lane earlier.

I'm not a massive fan of tech, but probably cos I preferred the olden days. A veritable dinosaur in the midst xxx

Do not get me onto that or I will start singing the praises of Ludd.

Start singing and we'll join in!

Noooo there is umm thinks to be said for both old and new.

Lots of pics today will never be looked at. Or will have been 'enhanced' so not an actual record.

Reading on a gadget lacks the bookness of books ... the smell, the softness, the materials and craft if their construction... yeah I know gadgets are constructed too but motherboards and lithium don't excite me.

Cheers
