Thought I should scribble down a few words as I haven't written anything for a few weeks...

Had a bit of an up and down 2 weeks really...majorly struggling with sleeping. I feel so tired yet when it comes to turning off the lights and putting my head to the pillow I just cannot sleep despite being exhausted. My dreams are there all the time and when it's time to get up I just don't feel like I have slept, I wake up during the night and get so frustrated that I can't get back to sleep again. So yesterday I decided to have a 'do absolutely nothing day'!! Pete was out working so I stayed in bed and actually slept til lunchtime then had a lovely hot bath and watched some afternoon tv and it was good and I think I felt a little better for it. Just hope the rest of this week is a bit easier for me.


Something else I haven't posted about on here which I feel I should... Warrington has now reinstated funding for IVF which is great news however it leaves just 2 counties that still do not fund any IVF treatment at all. Sutton & Merton and North Yorkshire! It still amazes me how the PCT think it is acceptable to have this postcode lottery in place. Some counties get 3 cycles, some only get 1 but we get nothing. Try not to think about it too much, it makes me so angry and really, really sad.

Also....been a bit down with the fact I have put on so much weight. I lost so much earlier in the year due to loss of appetite but it has just piled back on through comfort eating so with a little help from 2 friends who also want to lose a bit of weight we are having daily chats about what we are eating etc and setting little goals, hoping a bit of support puts me in the right direction to try and sort this little problem out! Not holding out much hope with christmas on it's way though!

Less than 4 weeks until our fundraiser day. It's going to be here before we know it. Everything is now all confirmed and booked in, just a few little things left to sort out and we will be ready for the big event. Really looking forward to it thanks to the support of our amazing friends and family and we really do hope it will be a huge success and that everyone enjoys all the effort and planning that we have put into it :)

Will write a bit more at the weekend.....time for bed xx







A fellow blogger friend of mine did a full month of blogging about the joys she found in each and every day so as a little extra to make me a bit more positive, each time I do a new blog post I am going to finish with one or two joys that I have found in my day (thanks Liane for the great idea, hope you don't mind me using it xx ).

Things that made me smile today :

~ Listening to my new Kylie album, The Abbey Road Sessions, whilst cooking a homemade tea :)

~ My husband telling me he's taking me out for a meal tomorrow evening :)
