Ever go outside, and while your out, think, “this is exactly why I don’t go out”?
Yep, defo when I end up on floor belly down

Everywhere hurts now and I have a fat knee/leg where I landed first on my knees and on my screws from old injury that left me with a pin & 2 screws in my leg 16 years ago!
I feel as though I am bruised everywhere with hardly any at all! Slight disappointment really after I went down with such a bang!

This girl got back up & carried on like a boss!

The cold really does hurt!

You know, when people come to my home & make a big fuss about how warm it is it makes me cross! I don’t choose to have high heating bills! I don’t relish the thought of the pain that I get when the cold hits my body! It’s like someone wrapping me in barbed wire!
So please, before you complain about that warmth of Fugly Manor, think!
If I come to visit you in your home over the festive period and I leave my coat, hat, scarf & gloves on, it’s nothing personal. I just can’t afford to let my body get cold!
Fact is, if you come to my home, at times you’ll see me wearing my hat indoors! 9 times out of 10 you’ll see me wearing my scarf!
I have MS and I am constantly in pain. I manage my pain in many different ways, one of them being ‘not getting cold’

What a wonderful afternoon! My first ever proper group Xmas meal with the Pilates peeps! 25+ ladies & 3 gents!

I was so nervous about going because of my MS and how anxious I get about every silly little thing! As always there was no need for me to worry, Hannah Bailey our Pilates instructor made sure of that! Thank you so much for looking after me Hannah! Did I get you when I threw my drink across the table? That ‘was’ an accident I promise, don’t make it a hard pilates class because of it! 😉

It was a lovely meal which I managed to cut by myself becasue I remembered to take my ergonomic cutlery! This may seem odd to people but I feel so proud of myself for doing that, that’s a massive step to acceptance for me.

I loved how people in the group kept coming to our end of the table to mingle as it meant I could stay sitting which wouldn’t add to my fatigue!

Thanks to Kate King (old *not in years* pilates instructor) for making an appearance! I’m amazed I managed to keep that suprise to myself!

Thanks to Hannah (1 of our current pilates instructors) for looking after me! Even though for some reason she was hanging onto me on the way out!
Really Hannah! Not a good idea to hang onto a wobbly MegaSpecial especially one that was as fatigued as me after that busy busy wonderful lunch 😉

Lisa Perry, you were definitely missed girly! I hope u are resting up and not feeling to poorly now 😐

And lastly a huge thanks to Linda Treadwell for organising the whole meal! What an amazing job u did! ❤
