Well Hello all me again

Do hope you are settling into the new year ok, how're those resolutions coming along?

I've been trying to crack on with mine as best as possible, the rain and cold doesnt help though. Im sure thats just not me!

Along with my resolutions there are a few goals id like to set too,
I want to see if I can up the anti and read 12+ books this year.
All ones I've been wanting to read for years.... But never having the time or just simply getting round too. Some of my favourite authors are Carole Matthews, Jojo Moyes, Jenny Colgan, Catherine Alliot just to name a few.......


So...... I was thinking of starting up a pact with myself (and you can join in too if you like) that once a month I'll do my best to get through these fabulous stories I have either on kindle or in paperback :)

Going Dutch- Katie Fforde
Good husband material- Trisha Ashley
The ice cream girls- Dorethy Koomson

Hello 2016 :)

Happy New Year to you all, may 2016 be the year where all your dreams come true :)

New year is a funny thing, it's like that period between Christmas and new year where you're itching to get organised and ready for another new start to begin.
I really hope you all we're able to enjoy the festivities, I ate and drank way too much just like I do every year and it was a lovely time spent with family. Quiet but just how I like it to be honest. I've set a few resolutions this year

  • To stay in the moment more
  • Journal 5 positives a day
  • Make sure the people I love know it
  • Go a bit further with my walking each day

I was going to do the usual loose weight, fit back into my skinny jeans etc etc, but to be honest every year I seem to set them and every year I fail...... So I've decided to just  go with the follow. I've got a little page a day diary I'm using to log what I eat and that's ass far as I'm going. I put on so much weight due to medication and binges with my bpd. That I am determined to not let them win. I will do it I'm just taking the scenic route ;)


So yeah that's my new year sorted, its all over again ........ until next year anyway

Much love

Chronically Ill In The Cold

So here it is my first proper post....

I thought I would do it on something which really has been having an affect on me lately and that's the weather, a very British thing to talk about I find, as we all know the British weather can be very temperamental. well I find with my multiple health conditions being M.E & Fibromyalgia, that it really can make me feel pants one day and super hyper the next. My joints are stiffer and sorer in the colder weather, which is funny, not haha funny but in a metaphorical sense that I love winter, snow and all things cold but my body seems to hate it...... is anyone else the same or just me?

I feel like a 90 year old trapped in a youngsters body some days.
Guess that's the perks of being chronically ill in the cold.....


Please keep warm and cosy this winter, and snuggle up...

Although I'm starting to wonder if I should just hibernate under my duvet until spring :P


Big warm hugs,

Love

Well I guess I'm officially a blogger.........

Well this has come around as a surprise I never thought id actually start documenting my life to the world, but here I am :P
My little mundane life may seem pretty boring to you but hey, give me a chance to at least make it all sound good :P

Anyway a bit about me, I'm an obsessive tea loving,  glasses wearing bookworm who loves anything marvel or with unicorns on ....... So  yes I am considered a bit of a geek :P

Oh yes and Fibromyalgia, M.E, B.P.D and P.C.O.S are chucked in just for good measure of course...... Anyway

I am really looking forward to documenting the little things that make a day a bit brighter, hopefully ill give you all some laughs along the way


Thanks for reading!!

Big Love
