Catching up.... Again!

Life... Nothing happens for ages and then a million things happen at once (that’s how it seems sometimes anyway). And yet again I’ve fallen behind with blog posts. My baby boy is growing so fast, he has now started nursery and loves it . And he had his first school photo taken with his sister, they were both so good.

Sometimes I don’t like starting new blog entries, as I don’t always know what to say despite the fact there’s plenty I could say. It’s knowing where to start, and on the other hand once I start I can whitter on for ages haha. I’ll try not to whitter on though. Been very busy recently with various things. Got a lot going on with the charity (Friends of Ichthyosis). Currently we are organising a Christmas fundraiser (Winter Wonderland) to help us kick start the charity, so this event will also coincide with the launch of FOI. Still lots to do and it’s all happening on Sunday 9th December at our local chapel hall (Chowbent). Really looking forward to it all, if a tad nervous, but no point stressing I’ll only end up making myself ill and can’t be ill on the day yikes! Got loads of friends who are helping me out with it all too to whom I’m very grateful. My lovely friend Anneke has made some lovely cards for us to sell in aid of FOI as well. You can find out more details of this here. Also as regards Friends of Ichthyosis, we (myself and Rebecca) have had our story published in a few national newspaper. This is a subject for another blog all of it’s own, but basically I wanted to share our story to mainly raise awareness of the condition and the charity. We were also contacted by BBC Radio Manchester to talk about it all there too (well I did all the talking of course haha), which we did and I was pleased with how it went. I’ve had a lot of positive feedback and some negative but as I say that’s another blog altogether (won’t get started on that now). I plan on doing as much as I possibly can to raise as much awareness as possible because, well, education is the key. I also went to my first concert in a long time in September and it was amazing! I plan on writing about that properly soon, a more indepth review and general blog of my personal experience. And I think that’s about it for now. I do wish I could write a new blog entry every day, but sometimes there just never seems to be enough hours in a day. Will do my best though and will keep you up to date as what’s going on with the charity as much as I can. I do tend to post most of my updates on Face book, and the website will be updated in the coming weeks leading up to Christmas. Thanks for reading. Thanks for reading x
