Last year, The Plug nightclub in Sheffield got in touch with me, they’d seen my blog and the work I do and wanted to help. They choose charities and donate the income from their guest list donations. So basically, if you are put on the guest list to see a band at The Plug, you […]
It has been four weeks now since the big op and I am beginning to get used to life with my ileostomy, it has been a bigger change than I thought. This is the second time that I have had a stoma, the first time was two years ago and then I went on to […]
There are many things I never thought I’d say, and living with IBD has given me the opportunity to say many of them. I surprise myself at times. Since having my latest op, I am dealing with a most peculiar wound. I now have, what is commonly known amongst people who’ve had this done, as […]

In 2015, I decided to stop dieting. I’d been on a diet for 10 years. 10 YEARS!!!! And it was the shittest diet ever because year on year, I started January heavier than the year before. I went through cycles of starving and binging, salad obsessions and chocolate gorging. I’d lose weight, lose interest and […]
