I have heard more and more about how comedians, podcasters, tv shows and films make out that ostomies are the worst thing that could happen, or how they make jokes and say they are disgusting. This is starting to get on my nerves and make me a bit upset. Unless you have one yourself, don't…
Self isolation tips
Hey all! What a crazy time it is now ey! Illness and isolation... and a fair bit of worry.. I'm writing this from my little self isolation bubble. After the government declared me as part of the "high risk" group, and recommended self isolation, I decided it definitely was wise.. although I'm not gonna lie,…
The last few weeks I've been feeling really down about myself. I have felt fat, well maybe not fat, but I have definitely got a rounder face again (which, yes, I know, it's only me who can see it, but man can I see it!). I have also been having this really odd reaction where…
Tough times
These past few weeks have been pretty difficult for me. Maybe I've been in a flare state, maybe I've been extra emotional and sentimental, maybe I've pushed myself too hard and got a bit worn out.. whatever it is, it's felt heavy.

Camping, stress and a little extra…
Let's talk about camping. I've never been a camping girl, not before surgery or after really.

I have recently been camping, for the second time in my life, but also, more importantly, for the first…

So I've done this thing...and in the worlds of one of mums favourite sayings; "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone" ~ Neale Donald Walsch This has sort of become quite a big thing for me, pushing myself to do things I wouldn't normally do, or things that scare me a bit, or…
Just quick one! Happy valentine's day all! I know we don't need a special day to show we care however it is nice to show that someone you love just a bit extra appreciation today. Something as simple as picking a flower on your way home, writing a note and leaving it for them somewhere,…
