Welcome!

Hi everyone thought I would start this blog to keep track of the bits & bobs I get up to each day. I am a stay at home mum with 3 children who are in their teens & twenties. I have had Chronic Lyme Disease for at least 14 years if not more. I am constantly trying to improve my condition. I am a great fan of moneysavingexpert.com and have discovered a few ways of upping my income without too much effort

As you can see I've had a busy few days.  I am absolutely exhausted.   The effects of the walk on Tuesday showed themselves on Thursday.  I felt so tired and achey and didn't really want to go out in the evening but couldn't get out of it.  As a result of my tiredness my will power left me and I succombed to eating too much chocolate, this continued the next day whilst visiting my mum.  I went to the Asian food store to stock up on coconut oil and a few other things and ended up buying Indian sweets.  I had forgotten that they were made from milk and today (Saturday) I am suffering the consequences.  My IBS has flared up, making me feel even worse.  I feel so cold and tired that I just didn't have the energy to make something for tea tonight hence the fish and chips.  I'm hoping to get back on track in the next few days.  Thankfully upon getting weighed this morning I have just stayed the same and not put weight on, but if I continue on the downward slope this won't last for long.   OH is back at work next week and DS back at school so hopefully I'll be able to get back into some sort of routine.
