I'm sorry if I haven't replied to messages recently..I feel bad about it, I promise! The past week or two haven't been fun. I have been in a flare up. My UC has been playing havoc with my body. I am so stress sensitive, as well as lack of sleep and bad food and drink…
I did a thing, another first!
I did a thing and I am so so proud of myself!!! Eeeee!!! Yesterday I held a talk at Lincoln University!! A while back an old school friend sent me a lovely message asking if I would be interested in coming and holding a talk for her nursing associate students, where I could share my…
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,…
Horrible travels and check up
What a start to the year... I have had an absolutely amazing time at home in England with my mum and sister over Christmas and New year, and as always, leaving was a pain!! On Sunday, the day of travel, I wake up with my ulcerous colitis blossoming up. My body was beyond exhausted, aching…
My late IBD awareness week post

Check up update
Berlin trip was brilliant! I just about survived, we didn't stress too much which was nice, and spent most of the time stopping to eat at various places so I got a fair bit of rest thankfully! And of course the main reason for the trip was to check out a bronze foundry so that…
The evening we met..
3 years ago today - January 31 - was the day I met my blondie. I was out on a girls night, totally off men and just enjoying being me. It was a cold night and payday weekend so everywhere was busy. We were cold and didn't want to stand in the queues so we…
A downer in the life of a UC warrior.
All is not bright and shining in the life of Charlotte and the life of an ulcerous colitis sufferer, or rather I prefer UC Warrior! I started work a few weeks ago (Monday 8th January) as you know, and on the Wednesday as I was on the toilet doing my thing, also emptying my rectum…
