I’m late again in posting this. Apologies but between going away, Ads’ 21st birthday and studying for a masters, I just don’t seem to have much time on my hands. I need to improve my efficiency! Hopefully, the murder mystery photos will make up for it! Books Read I finished Oliver Sacks’ autobiography, On the……

I missed last week’s rag because I was up to my elbows in Charlotte. However, things have somewhat improved since our impromptu visit to hospital. So…this week’s update is going to be a hodgepodge of the past two weeks, minus Charlotte’s ill health…because we do not need to dwell on that 😞 Becca Turned 13……

Poor ol’ Charlotte Oh my days! What a week! Charlotte has been very unwell for the past couple of weeks. The difficulty with her is that we are never sure whether any pain she feels is chronic pain from her FND and Fibromyalgia or whether there is a specific reason for it – as in……

This is just a quick post this week. It’s half term and it’s manic around here with sleep overs, volunteering, cleaning… last night we had around 20 teens and young people in our home between Abs and Becs’ friends from church and Lillie, Charlotte and Ads friends. It was SO loud!! I focused much of last week……

Hello! How are you all doing? I hope you’ve had a great week. Ours has been fairly quiet. We’re now in the dreaded February, which my youngest daughter informs me should be my favourite month given that she was born in it…but she turns thirteen this year and I find this very sad. She’s growing into an amazing young woman,……

The biggest news this week is that the rash is now under control! I know this may not be the huge news I am making it out to be, but I have been agonisingly itchy for the past four weeks, so much so I was unable to go to a wedding on Saturday 😢 But…today the rash……

I’m late, I’m late, I’m very very late….! Darn it, this post was meant to be posted on Monday! Only problem was, I hadn’t finished writing it. So, here it is, three days late. This week has been all about my master’s essay. It’s due in on Wednesday and I’ve been trying to figure out what synthesising is. Apparently we……

Hello! Welcome to the second week of the year. Even though I’ve not been 100% health-wise, I have been getting on with life pretty much as usual. That is, apart from swimming. I decided that the widespread rash all over my body would not be a good look in a swimming costume and might very well clear the pool……

It’s that time again, and darn it, I’m still not very well! We have had two nasty infections (cold\flu and a chest infection) going round our family and two of us caught them both, me being one. I’m so run down by the infections I now have a growing rash which itches like heck. Apart from the itchiness……

So….about twelve days ago I stopped sleeping. I mean, I sleep a bit, but not much. I think it might be the socialisation of the season. In normal times, I keep socialising to a minimum and only during the day. However, it’s a bit harder at Christmas. Then I get so over stimulated I can’t seem to switch off…so……

It was meant to be my weigh in day today. I knew the batteries in the scales were running low so bought a pack on Monday when I was shopping in Tescos. I put them to one side to change the ones in the scales. Only, when I actually got to them, there was just the packet left……

This is just a quick post today. It was one of those days where I felt busy all day but didn’t really feel like I achieved anything! I was due to go swimming with Gary at 330 but I’d forgotten that I had a tutorial for my master’s at six. I needed food to be……

Exercise is a great appetite suppressant, did you know that?! I don’t think I did, but I do now. I had a great productive day, attended Jess’ (Thomas’ girlfriend) display at her art university, which was excellent, and finished the day off by swimming 46 lengths and spending some time in the sauna and the……

Helloooo, and welcome back to another blogmas accountability post. I have had a crazy busy weekend and been meeting myself coming backwards. All this busy-ness which included socialisation had the knock on effect of absolutely no sleep. Today I have been tired in my head. By this I mean my mind is completely exhausted by……

Whoops, I forgot to post yesterday! Not that I’d done badly, I just was having date night with Gary and Blogmas completely escaped my mind! All About Organisation Yesterday was a slightly odd day both food and exercise wise. My big goal for the day was to go through our whole bedroom and reorganise and……
