Although I haven't written the post I was asked to share my tips for looking after kids when you have #arthritis with @flexisequk for this article After my appointment today I'm counting this one for my #blogtober offering today! I passionately believe in supporting chronically ill patients to become parents as although it may be hard, you can most definitely still be a fantastic parent. The link to the article is in the bio, let me know what you think

What a way to spend a Friday morning! I didn't expect that! Had my gynae appointment today after the GP and then contraception nurse failed to get the coil in die to my stubborn cervix. I apparently hadn't been sent some information I should have but arrived to be told I would possibly need a camera test to see what was going on. He had a look first to see what was going on and straight away said he needed the scope doing 🙈 Apparently my uterus is not only tilted (which is common after bowel surgery) but is also wonky! It veers left after my cervix which explains why nobody could get it in before and is probably due to scar tissue from the Crohn's Disease. He did manager to get the coil fitted after all this using anaesthesia and gas and air so at least it wasn't all in vain. Am treating myself to a Costa while I wait for my mum to finish work and then heading home for a rest. Am quite uncomfortable now so some painkillers and sleep sounds like a good plan.

My little super starfish! This was the part he wanted, what he auditioned for and what he got. He makes me so proud and so very, very happy. I love you baby boy 💙

Had lots of fun today on the @iasupport @nottsderbyyoungia stand at the Derby Stoma Care event. Met some lovely people and had some great conversations. Finally got to see @mrjamiepearson too! Looking forward to our coffee morning next week now and hoping to see some of you there!

Tonight I made the most amazing soup and I've written about it on my blog post all about Autumnal cooking featuring a review of a new plant based, family recipe book coming out soon.

Happy 10 months Luna! Today my dog turned 10 months old and came into season for the first time, hence the makeshift nappy. Got the hot water bottle ready, the (doggy) chocolate and we are going to watch Marley & Me
