I hate cellar spiders! Just popped my shoe on & there was a massive fucker in there 😩
I don’t mind other spiders, they’re chill. They know the meaning of personal space, but cellar spiders? They’re creepy & do not know the meaning of personal space!!!
I screamed & threw my shoe across the room.

Sleepy puppy didn’t want to get up this morning. She’s currently snuggled up on the sofa with her favourite cushion & a blanket over her, giving the paw of requirement.

Having a chill day with Theia today ♥️ the boys have gone to pick up our new car and we’re sat eating cheese butties & I’m being convinced to watch #KPopDemonHunters again. I’m pretty sure that we’ve watched it like 500 times now! The songs are awesome though.
Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday

Ruby is lay softly crying on the sofa in the spot Noah vacated when he left for school.
She definitely misses her big brother.

Just been looking back at photos of Ruby & Theia.
From the day Theia came home from the hospital, Ruby never left her side & they still adore each other now.

There is a writers group in Oswaldtwistle that I am not brave enough to go to.
However, Noah & I are recording our chapters of Herbert the Super Goat.
Both Sophie & Ruby feature in the story. Sophie as a farm Collie & Ruby as Rubacious the Great & Mighty Dog Dragon. I love that it makes him laugh!

Taken from my backyard just now when letting Ruby out for a late night wee.
Lots of light pollution here, so that’s a good one from our house!
We’re taking these 3 on a drive to see the planetary alinement tomorrow as a surprise! Excited (:

And the savings? Cutting the entire Long Covid programme and all our access to support. This government and the people it has in charge of this trust, I do not know how you sleep at night. You’re despicable, deplorable & many other words! You truly just want us disabled folk gone, don’t you?
East Lancashire Hospitals Trust is among four Lancashire NHS Trusts which have been asked to make efficiency savings.

Theia & I aren’t very well at the moment so we’re just sat munching bananas & Nutella on toast. Ruby wants bananas.
She’s not so great either. Had an allergic reaction to something on our Wellhouse walk & has a rash. We’re treating her though & it’s eased a lot!
Hopefully tomorrow will be better 🤞

Decided to share #100ReasonsILoveMyDog because dogs are love & the world could use a little more of that. Imagine if we loved one another the way dogs do…
Reason 1. From the moment we met her, she helped make us laugh again after losing our old dog Sophie & our baby boy. One of her 1st days here.

Making mini wrap pizzas for these two now. They are both definitely having a growth spurt! It’s acceptable to live on endless cups of tea, isn’t it? 😩

Today I’ve dealt with being thrown up on (Theia) just as we had to leave for my BP check appt, a very excitable half term Noah, a massive poosplosion, arguments between two tiny people, Ruby having an accident on the rug & a really bad chest, fibro flare & LC flare. We disabled folk still have to do

Today is Ruby’s 5th Gotcha day/ 6th birthday (she was just under a year old when we adopted her)!
She is the most wonderful, crazy, playful, snuggly wee sausage & we are so lucky to have her ♥️

Had a lovely day out in Liverpool. Quirky Quarter with the kiddos & then a spot of lunch! We have seen some awesome optical illusions & eaten a heck of a lot of pizza! All in all, a rather excellent outing for Noah’s birthday weekend (:

Pointing to every single puppy: sweetheart, want it!
A girl after my own heart ♥️

Went to Lego club at the library with the babies yesterday (as well as getting books out) and I feel exhausted today 😞

Sometimes, my dreams are so effed up.
I was already having a weird dream when I was woken up by being tapped on the head & hearing a voice I didn’t recognise saying “Mummy, wake up”
The brain can be profoundly cruel sometimes. Both Noah & Theia are fast asleep as well, but I can’t sleep now 😢

Fellow #ChronicIllness sufferers, I’ve had my long awaited steroid injections for my GTPS & I’m in so much pain since having it. To those who have had them, is that normal? It’s driving me mad 😢 nothing is right with my body since having the Long Covid #GTPS #ChronicPain #LongCovid #Struggling

Ruby was drooling like crazy when Noah was having his Christmas tree shaped nuggets for tea. That drool string was constant. As was the puddle on Noah’s knee. He was not amused, but also very amused as the same time!

Exhausted & in agony from making this wee mans nativity costume.
Decided to make it because there were none that were good enough, so we made it instead. He was so happy with it. All the drawing, cutting, sewing & gluing have not been kind to my arthritic hands.
He does look cute though ♥️
