‘Hey O! Look at meeeeee! I’m such a cool Mummyyyyy …. !!’
…. SPLAT.
So, my latest boom involved a skateboard, a massive ramp – and a bust with a twist. (Well, a sprain.) Read on for the full story!
Age & Rage: M.E, Myself … or Perimenopause?
‘I’m going on HRT so I can find out if the problem is M.E, myself … or YOU.’

A bit more about me
Hello my lovelies and welcome new subscribers!! I realised that I haven’t introduced myself properly in a very long time – and although you can read about me in the aptly named ‘About Me’ section of the website, I thought it might still be nice to give a little wave and tell you a bit more about myself here too.
What I Forgot to Say
Newly diagnosed with ME? I covered a lot of the main ‘must know’ points in my last post – however, as I lay in bed on Saturday afternoon, feeling all the ‘feels’ after letting a friend down because I wasn’t well enough to meet – I realised a few points I hadn’t mentioned.

Newly diagnosed with ME?
Wish you had a clue of what to expect going forward?
I was in that boat too once. It’s crap and I’d really like to help.

“It’s really good after all these years and everything we’ve been through, that we can still vaguely enjoy each other’s company.” ~ Pete.
Now, these are definitely not the most romantic utterings I’ve ever heard. However, with ME/POTS hanging around like a bad smell all the time, I’ve come to realise that ‘vaguely enjoying each other’s company’ is actually something to be celebrated. Read on to find out why.
When a hen ‘do’ turned into a hen ‘don’t’
I did something I haven’t done in about 9 years recently – and I was SO excited!
… until my POTS came along and dropped a steaming turd all over it, that is.
First Wedding Anniversary
We made it to one year as Mr & Mrs! Whoop whoop! Here, I’ve created a short video and written something a little different to my norm, in the hopes of capturing the sunshine, shit-storms, and rainbows along the road to reaching this milestone. Oh, and if you like the Beatles, give it a read/watch, if only for that reason.
Dusting off the bike!
Bike riding, along with a million other things, kinda went for a swim in the sewer of life when I got sick over 8 years ago. Little did I know then, that 8 years later, I’d be plunging my bike back out.
