Absolutely love this picture of my girl! We were over at a big park today for a good 3 hour run/walk and she was brilliant, both on and off the lead.

Five Friday Favourites 1) Netflix - Killer Inside The Mind Of Aaron Hernandez Wow what a documentary, @netflixuk have done it again! Hugely recommend to anyone who is interested in true crime. So sad in so many ways 2) My @pocketperfectdesigns pens - they not only make me smile but they are really comfy to use (I need chunkier pens due to arthritis in my hands) and write so nicely 3) Waking up to a beautiful delivery on Thursday morning from @ste_w22 was definitely a highlight, making me smile after a rough few days with migraines 4) my veggie Biryani was delicious. I picked up a ready made pack of curried veg from @asda for just £1. Added a tin of chopped tomatoes, a little water and a stock cube and cooked. I stirred in rice to serve. You could add meat if you wanted but it was so tasty and I really enjoyed it 5) my new soluble/liquid vitamins seem to be taking effect all ready which is fab! If you are having trouble absorbing tablets I would definitely recommend trying these What have you been enjoying this week? Let me know in the comments so I can check them out!

#tbt #throwbackthursday #throwback Memories can be wonderful and sometimes can be sad. Sometimes they are both at the same time. This is Riley starting at his new school three years ago. My beautiful boy who has since gone back to his Dad's with no extra support or help in place for his needs. His beautiful face will always make me smile but I ache to be able to do more, be more for him. I will fight little man, for you and your brother until the end of time. You are a beautiful little human and I love you very much!

Having people close to me who can acknowledge my struggles and support me through means the world. It is horrible to think of people having similar problems who don't have this network. But please know, there are people to talk to. People like me, there are phone lines with trained counsellors to speak to, you can go to your GP and have a chat to them and they can refer you for talking therapy. You are not alone 💜

Mental health can be difficult but I won't let it beat me. I've been struggling recently, but today I did a couple of things for myself to move forwards and I am really proud. Nervous, trying to push down the negative 'you aren't good enough' thoughts, tired and drained but proud. Also, aside from a dull head and face ache, my head aches have been well controlled and not got any worse today, so hopefully this is the last of that wave. Yay!

The photo on the left pretty much sums up how my head feels right now! It's actually better today than it was but then yesterday started out with just a headache and dissolved into me lay on the sofa in the dark and sleeping. Fingers crossed @official.dpd.uk can get their act together today and deliver my phone that was supposed to be here yesterday as well, that would be a nice surprise
