    Seemed ages since I last did a blog so decided to take a look, can't believe it was before Christmas, my world seems to have changed so much since then - for the better

    I transferred into a new and less stressful job in January with regular part time hours and have seen a big improvement in my overall health, this in turn has helped me to increase my exercise.
