5 months on ……
….. since I last posted. And how life has changed, yet again! The beginning of this year was extremely difficult. I was finding my role as a carer very hard and could feel myself slipping into depression. I did change my behaviour and, instead of bottling it all up and pretending that as superwoman I can deal […]

Time for an update.Â
I was going to write a really long post giving all the details of the kidney stone surgery but I’ve decided against it. I’m just going to give a quick overview so ……..

I don’t do resolutions …….
Aargh!!!!!!!!! Did you hear the scream? I trod on it, with both feet and not holding on to anything. Poor thing appears to have survived, although I’m not sure that’s necessarily a good thing. What am I talking about? The scales 😱😱😱 Now I’ve known I was going to have to do it. I’ve known […]

Kidney stones part 2 of 3 (or how to spend New Year!)

(Very quick recap, in September I was suddenly in horrendous pain, admitted to hospital and, after a couple of nights of serious painkillers I got rid of […]

I love the NHS!
On Friday I had a steroid injection in my knee (for arthritis / Bakers cyst) at Brentwood Community Hospital. Needles don’t bother me and I was quite relaxed about the whole thing. Linda, the physio, and I share the same sense of humour and attitude to life! I caught a glimpse of the needle which […]

Fun, games and a bit of lunacy
Having got into a muddle I’ve decided to split this update into 2 posts. This one will be a sort of diary and the other will focus on health / nutrition / training. They will of course overlap but it will suit me better! So what have I been up to? Oh, only the normal […]

Three notches down!
Having got into a muddle I’ve decided to split this update into 2 posts. This one will focus on health / nutrition / training / ramblings and the other will be a sort of diary. They will of course overlap but it will suit me better! I missed out a post! Last time I posted I said […]

A day of two halves.Â
Morning: I hate clothes shopping. This is nothing new. I’ve always hated shopping for clothes. Throughout my life I’ve always been too tall, & frequently too fat, to buy clothes. I’ve sorted out the too fat bit but there is nothing I can do about my height, and particularly my leg length. I will never […]
