Support Support Wherever You Are!

Hi everyone! Yesterday was the first meeting of the Hambleton and Richmondshire Ostomy Support Group! It has been in the works for a few months and has been a niggling thought in two fellow ostomate’s minds as well! I was so glad that I had other people to help expand this little idea of ours into a reality and you can too! (Do I care I’ve used a LOT of exclamation marks? nah I’m excited *insert cheesy grin*)

So let me introduce Jasmine Stacey the brains and beauty behind Jasmine Stacey Collection. I have previously reviewed the Black Widow set that I got in limited edition red which you can read here.

2017 Isn’t About Resolutions….

Christmas With An Ostomy – Newbie Style

MERRY CHRISTMAS! 

Well today is my first Christmas with a stoma and I went into today with some fear from reading different articles talking about the “Do’s and Don’t’s” of the festive period. I’m NOT going to do that but talk about what my day ended up being like because well I can lol.

#MYillnessisNOTyourinsult

I checked my twitter account this morning and was shocked and appalled to find that people have been using ostomy bag’s as an insult. There is ALOT of stigma around ostomies and we don’t need more grief from absolute ignorant imbeciles! 

Stoma Friendly Toilets

So I feel quite bad I’ve had these stickers from the Colostomy Association for awhile now and I completely forgot to write about them can we blame baby brain?! 

I’m Dreaming Of A Purple Christmas

You may have heard about the Purple Wings Charity Christmas meal, it was a really nice quiet, intimate event.

Things Are Getting Exciting

So after a roller coaster of a year with being really ill, having surgery, falling pregnant,  having a miscarriage, going to events, being offered a job and more events we have found out we are expecting again!

Say Hello To The Comfizz Christmas Fairy!

IBD Awareness BlogLovin!

As we near the end of Crohns and Colitis Awareness Week I thought I would share some of the blogs/vlogs that I read regularly or I used to help with my research into life with an ostomy before my surgery. These are all in no particular order!
