I was feeling fairly miserable this morning. No water, no coffee, very little sleep and wondering what I had forgotten to tell Angel about getting the kids to school as I left for the hospital in cold light of early morning. But most of all I was worried about what would happen in the hospital. [...]
As some of you know from my recent posts, I am suffering with extra poundage from baby weight and yo yo dieting in previous years. This January I weighed in at a disgraceful 18 stone and with on-going problems with Symphysis Pubic Dysfunction that I had in my 2nd pregnancy I really really needed to [...]

I haven’t cried since they told me my Cancer is malignant. Not Once. I haven’t even felt the slightest bit down. I’ve had this strong positive attitude that many of you have called admirable or inspirational. Well, I’m afraid that hard exterior may be starting to crumble. Perhaps it’s the magnitude of my diagnosis sinking [...]
As a parent I count my blessings each time I get a full night’s sleep, it’s enough to make me want to jump out of bed with joy in the morning. If my toddler doesn’t wake me then I’m usually lucky enough to sleep through the night. But on occasion when I just can’t drift [...]

Then I would come home [...]

Always one to watch peoples lips as they talk she’d often nod in agreement but when questioned not know what she was agreeing with. Yesterday I told her I was going for a [...]

Just over two weeks ago I started the 30 Day Shred, I was a little nervous as I’d heard lots about it and it sounded very hard, but I was also excited as I’d also heard of the results people had achieved doing it. I made the decision when I started the Shred to push [...]
I’m not one to get into politics, but I’ve had an experience this weekend which needs to be shared and people need to take note of this. This is one person’s view of what’s going on on the ground level of the NHS. It started on Sunday morning, I woke up feeling lousy and I [...]
