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."

As Brian said, it's a good job everything here is typed as we probably wouldn't know what each other was on about if we wrote as we spoke.
Harking back to Helen's post, I say grass, brass etc. but pronounce plasters 'plaaasters'. Not sure if it's a family thing or contrariness.
I hope Prince Pippin isn't missing wriggling on his sun spot today xxx 
It's really grey here but we're not complaining - the heat over the last several days has caused OH's lymphoedema to flare up with a vengeance, and my arthritic knees look like barrage balloons!

Hi Julie
I thought I’d not need my heated blanket by now, but I just can’t give it up quite yet. I feel the cold something terrible. I warmed up after my shower this morning, but now headed back to the blanket and a cuppa!
