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."

Hi Ray. We've not been long home but I've just stuffed my face with a bacon sarnie, far more satisfying than exercising!
Yes, I know it's best for health, but I for one never signed up to prance around in my dotage. It's just not, and never has been, me forcing myself to do things I don't want to. Anyway, it sounds like you've had a better day and caught up with some sleep. Well done. The nightmare must have been scary - have you ever had sleep paralysis? Now that is a shocker as you're wide awake but unable to move or speak. Thankfully I've not had that experience for some years.
Definitely call in later if you're not tired, and pin this 
to your dressing gown. It'll help you to relax as the badge emits intermittent toots and hoots.
I think I've finally gone round the twist, so I'll leave it there - I blame the strain of exercise. Maybe see you later my friend xxx
Hi Linda.
No matter how bad you think your work is, and I'm pretty sure it's not, you do it for a wonderful cause, so well done you 
My eldest is great with craft but doesn't get it from me, as I really am bad. I hope Helen's got some more Christmas movies under her belt - do you like watching them too? Later on I'm going to look at the one on Netflix, suggested by Mr U, as I want to get into the Christmas spirit. I have bought a few presents and a chocolate advent calendar each for us, as we enjoy opening the doors each day. Do you still get one, for yourself? If you say no, I might need to grow up

You do need some patience for cross stitch. My friend gave me an unfinished Disney cross stitch that she said was beyond her, I'll get to it some day. So many projects, not enough time

I've watched one movie and I'm on the second

It's good to hear from another Christmas lover

Good afternoon Mr U. Swiss chocolate is the business and I could eat it till the Swiss milker cows come home Darling certainly treats you well, and good for her.
Lindt is a favourite choc in our house, and I make sure my special man gets two squares of 85% dark every morning as it's good for magnesium, or so I've read. I've decided I'll never grow up, even though I have to behave like an adult most of the time, so my inner juvenile can stay.
Sending Darling and yourself early greetings of the season back, and enjoy the movies on these cool, dark evenings. All that's missing is a roaring log fire, or maybe you're lucky enough to have one? Take care xxx
