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 the powers that were, certainly tried to stamp down on the rebellion, throwing more military at it than were busy with Napoleon!
Upstart workers! Who did they think they were! Expecting to eat EVERY week!
Ooh any activity at your sweet factory?
Cheers
I like builders. That whole world is so mediaeval. The trades are usually sole traders and the building companies rely on employing them ad hoc. No unions unfortunately but so many trades so similar to pre-industrial. Painting a wall still has to be done by hand. Sparkies, chippies, the lot and as an essential industry they can't be conscripted.
Yourself and Fliegel are on the same page methinks.
The sweet factory has been taken over by another company. I hope Poor Bens recipe doesn't change for crying out loud!
Sheeesh! What has happened to my intellect? I read that and ... well furniture was not the first image that hove into view! Ahem.
Grrr! Now got me thinking though of those tv progs where old furniture is given a new lease of life! Mostly has me screaming at the tv. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you should.
The integrity of many a piece is shot to ribbons with zebra fur, a light bulb or Barbie pink paint!
Cheers
What heartens me is to hear the old sense of quality has survived all this in people's heads. Gives me hope. At least something does because the doctors don't lol
