My kids are huge chorizo fans and this is a really simple meal that you can also pack with veggies to ensure it is healthy too. I don’t like prawns so don’t use them, but you can add them if you do! Every time…

Just want to wish @missostomate the very best if luck with her promotion, she will be missed in her role as Young IA Coordinator. It was thanks to Nic that I got involved with @iasupport and got to do my first speech at the amazing Information Day in 2019. I am now a member of the committee of my local group and help run the social media as well as being a part of the events sub-commitee. You can check out @nottsderbyia for more info or if you would like directing towards your local group. Good luck @missostomate and we will hopefully meet up soon once the lockdown is over!
I am currently taking part in @jennafarmeruk 30 Day Blog Challenge to help improve my blog. It has loads of different little jobs in there that I never thought of doing - removing broken links is going to be a month long job I think! If you want more information and help with the steps check out her blog - thebloglancer.com - where she writes about blogging and freelancing. Do you fellow bloggers do regular #blogmin as it shall now be known?

Your Sunday evening reminder to be kind to others AND to yourself
Happy birthday to my amazing, beautiful Mum @riley.lorraine Most people think that their Mum is the best but I know I'm right. This woman raised me (for a while on her own), cared for me, took me to all my appointments, advocated for me and made my do my exercises - and while at times I may have told her I hated her for it, I am so glad she kept pushing me to keep going with it all. I wouldn't be half the person I am without her. She deserves the best day and unfortunately it was just a door step visit for us today but soon we will celebrate. It sounds silly but I need to hug her, it makes me emotional every time I even think about it. I need a cuddle with my mum, she really is my rock. I love you Mum, thank you for being you and for helping make me who I am. Enjoy the rest of your day in the sunshine xxx
