We can but try! Trying to shrink my bags for days with these @primark.beauty eye patch things which I keep in the fridge. Any other top tips?

Well that was a pretty lovely start to the bank holiday weekend. Drinks by the canal, sunshine, BBQ, gin and chats with my babies. The second to last photo is apparently his 'Ronaldo Face' ha ha. Riley is definitely more handsome though!

Was gutted reading a post on one of the ostomy support groups yesterday. The person asked if everyone else always wore dark colours on a daily basis in case of leaks. There were nearly 300 comments and all the ones I read said yes. One of my top tips for developing confidence post surgery is to nail down a stoma care routine that works for you so you aren't constantly worried about leaks. My recent speech for the IA information day was all about this and I'm going to put the link to it back in my bio for anybody who might want a listen. I'm always happy to chat to ostomates too and will try and help and advise as best as I can.

• Five Friday Favourites • Today I've got another five things to share which I've been loving this week • First us this @primark.beauty perfume which I grabbed on my last visit for just £3.50. there are loads of different fragrances, some better than others. I really like this one and it's great for everyday, especially for the price • Oh my goodness if you haven't tried the new pineapple @mcvitiesofficial Jaffa cake bars you are missing out. Seriously delicious, like a little slice of Summer • My next favourite are the plants we bought on the weekend. I'm do excited to get the garden sorted and looking nice this year. Growing some of our own fruit and veg is really exciting too • I'm so pleased the sunshine has come back this week...even if it means I'm struggling with hayfever! I am definitely a warm weather girl and my joints like it much more in the heat • I haven't got a picture but the warm weather can have it's drawbacks when you have an ostomy. I've started drinking a glass or two of the Fluid Replacement Sachets from @homebargains (cheaper version of diarolyte) and it's doing a fab job of keeping me better hydrated. I've even noticed my skin isn't as dry which is a huge improvement for me What have been your favourites this week?

There is a new post on the blog today and it talks about the difference between Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis - and how you can't have both! Link in bio

My little man performed in his school play this week, Matilda The Musical. He has loved it and so have I - watched the movie lots in preparation! I would have loved to take him to see it on stage but the prices are ridiculously expensive, even on the touring show!
