You guys...look! Theres now over 3000 of you and I am so damn grateful for all the amazing people I've met and connected with on my blogging/vlogging/social media journey. Thankyou for being here and for all your support. Numbers aren't everything but I share what I do for a reason and when I know that's being seen by so many of you, it makes me so happy. Have an amazing hump day everyone x

The thing with chronic illness is... it can sometimes stop you from doing the things you want. Sometimes goals have to change. Sometimes careers have to go on hold. Sometimes relationships don't work out. But there are still many things you can do. With a bit of time, some support and some good old grit and determination, you can make a difference to the world. Don't let chronic illness stop you. Let it push you onward, forward, upward and into a future maybe you didn't even imagine could happen for you

My brain feels like it's going to explode!!! Lots of work to finish and two assignments due in the next week...wish me luck!

So I had to have a go - the #dollypartonchallenge

Love this idea which @motherkind_zoe has been doing for a few months now on her Instagram page and I wanted to share it with you all Firstly if you aren't following her - you should! I recommend her podcast to all the women I know, it truly is one of two that I won't go a week without missing. So here we go... 1) This week I am grateful to my best friends who are the ones I can talk to about everything and anything and are always there when I need them. @emchap85 @colitis_to_ostomy and my friend Dan who isn't on here 2) I think i have handled myself really well with the ongoing health stuff. I've trusted my instincts and made the decisions which are the best for me. I'm lucky to have such a supportive IND consultant but i think i also should give myself praise for keeping my Crohn's where it should be - a part of my life rather than letting it take over 3) I have learnt that I can put my needs first sometimes, and in fact, I have to sometimes And onto next week... 1) I have two uni assignments to write! Arghhhh 2) Doing a breakdown of finances 3) I am not going to procrastinate but work hard with rest breaks. Getting good sleep will also be important and its nail week with my Mum So now I want to see yours! Share on your stories or answer in the comments - let's see your Sunday check in and iif we can help you be accountable in the coming week

A big happy birthday to this beautiful woman today - an amazing lady, friend, mum, writer, advocate and my brunette bestie for always @colitis_to_ostomy - love you chicken 💜
