I'd like to say that life is looking up. I feel like I can do a little bit more than I have been able to, which is nice. I'm still not at any "normal" energy levels but its an improvement at least, or has been the past few days at least. I keep trying to…
Valentines day and a lovely weekend of love and thoughts
Forecast today in the Life o'Charlotte, gloomy with patches of sun. My head feels like someone is holding a pair of pliers and squeezing all they can while pushing my head towards my shoulders at the same time as they are pulling it upwards. Yeah that doesn't make sense but neither does the feeling. Spoke to…
Sister support and new bags
It was great having my baby sister here! It's so empty now that she has gone! Before she went she tried on a bag so she could see what it was like. She also had a look at my stoma (on a picture). She has been my biggest challenge and has found this all very…
3 years ago and feeling hopeful
3 years ago today I took one of the most difficult steps in my life. One of many I realise now. For those of you who don't know, today marks the 3 year day of my move to Sweden, or back to Sweden. Having lived in the UK for 11 years and always saying how…
Good morning! Its one of those grey wet days today, I am laid in bed with a huge cup of tea, my book and the cats. I love lazy mornings on my own. I would have prefererad to still be sleeping but I woke up when Axel got up to go play football so now…
Tired, work and yoga

Sleepy weekend and pictures
Ah how this week has felt like a looong week. Started back at work, done 10 hours this week and my how tired I have been. It's crazy how much my body has changed and how little I can do now. I guess and hope it can just get better. Last night we went out…
Back to work I go
First day at work today for me and Stevie! Working 25% this week so lets see how this goes. Excited to be back but I have been absolutely exhausted and practically slept all weekend. Least it's only a few hours and then home time again 🙂 My day went well, was really nice being back,…
Happy New Year
Happy New Year! Happy new me. What a crazy year I have had. It's been filled with so many goods and so many bads. I have been lucky enough to do some travelling - hugely thanks to Axel - having been to (Hull of course) Budapest, Bornholm and Nice. All of which were first times…
Christmas celebrations
What a fantastic Christmas I have had. This year was the nicest most relaxed Christmas we have had in ages and it felt great. We were just the three of us - mum, me and sis - and of course Stevie. We started with our traditional pancake breakfast - which I stand for. Mine and…
