Here's a bit about me.


I am 35. A Wife. A Mother. Full Time Employee. Dyslexic. Bi-polar and BPD sufferer.  Comper. Naturalist. Cat owner, and, Now, a blogger.

  • I am 35, and fast approaching the wrong end of the thirties. I am happily married to Mark since 2006. We met at work, it wasn't love at first site, but I feel he is my soulmate. We have a lil boy, 'F', well not so little, he turned 10 in November. 
  • I work full time, in a job I like, for a good company that supports employee's with mental health. I was diagnosed at Uni as having Severe Dyslexia in 2011, they were pretty surprised I even got through college. 
  • My health is not so good at the moment, I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar in 2008, BPD in 2011, Sleep Apnia in 2013 and Type 1 Diabetes (yes 1, not 2) in 2014. and have a recurring back injury that cause issues upon issues.
  • I love being outside, I find being in the fresh air very therapeutic. I had a back injury about whist I was pregnant, and up to about 6 months ago, I had trouble walking, or standing, without being is extreme pain. As a family we now go for a lot of walks. My favourite places are anywhere in the Peak District National Park. West Yorkshire Countryside and the Trans Pennine Trail, all all not too far from where we live. I am a comper, which is someone that like entering competitions, I won about 80% of the Christmas gifts we got our Son. I have started this blog as a new years resolution, hoping it will help with my Dyslexia. I also keep journals, I have done this for a few years, so I thought this would be the next natural step.
  • I love animals, at the moment we only have one cat called Blaze. The idea was we would get a couple of cats, but spotted Blaze on Facebook, someone was just 'Getting Rid' :( He was the double of our old cat that had just passed away, and as soon as our Son spotted the photo he wanted him. 


  • So that's a lil bit about me, I am sure there will be more to come.
