Stress – Page 2 – Living life the MegaSpecial way!

Thank you for being you

The amount of love i have for my friends & family is unmeasurable!
AngieMoo, I just kinda like you alot’

Thank you all for your Christmas & New year wishes, cards & gifts!
I was totally Overwhelmed & astonished at the amount of cards we got & all the gifts under the tree!
I had to turn all my notifications on my phone off from Facebook, Twitter, my blog site, Instagram, Snapchat, email and well basically every notification was turned off because I was getting so many!
I had to have breaks from opening our gifts as I keep getting major sensory overload, Christmas day was no exception!

I loved the whole day, I loved all the notifications & found it really hard to stop them! I loved being with family even if it was only for 45 minutes, they were 45 minutes better than non! And me in a pub as well, on Xmas day! I loved having my Mum & Daddy Paul over from Cyprus, spending time with both is always so precious! New years eve with my Mummy taking silly selfies was priceless! Playing ye old games, making up new rules & watching DebbieRahRah & Sister Bell build a bridge out of ‘Bananagram’ tiles & ‘Jenga’ blocks was incredible! Those 2 certainly have wild imaginations!

Thank you to all for being part of my life, for inspiring me with your art, your photography, your writing, your love for fitness & generally just making me want to be a better me!

I don’t want Alarms to wake me!

Nooooooo! Back to Alarms waking us up tomorrow then! 😠
It’s been a lovely 10 days of DebbieRahRah at home! We both wish it could last longer but keeping Fugly (our bungalow) isn’t free & due to me being unable to work…

She’s such a good un!

Me however, what little sleep I get & how much I kick and punch her in the night I don’t know how she wakes me! Unless it’s for the gym of course!
I just want to remind people that I don’t punch and kick my wife for fun! In fact I have no control and no memory of it! It doesn’t wake me, I only know when I wake in the morning and she’s slept on the sofa!

No gym for me in the morning, I think in fact my appointment tomorrow is much better! I know, I know, is that possible I hear you cry!?
Yes it is… because I’m off to see a man about some pain relief! Yep, that day is finally here! Time to find out what Mr Pain clinic man can do for my back this time!…

Go make memories!

I am a strong woman

I am a strong woman!
I don’t sit around feeling sorry for myself, nor let people mistreat me.
I don’t reaping to people who dictate to me or try to bring me down. If I fall I will rise up even stronger becasue I am a survivor not a victim.
I am in control of my life and there is nothing I can’t achieve!

Positive thought

Always begin and end each day with a positive thought.
Life is too short to be anything but positive and happy.

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

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! ❤
