    We are having a good day so far thanks! My mum and sister are going out for dinner soon and me and Howie are having dinner at home (my mums). It's cooking nicely away! Will post a pic of our dinner later!

    My mum isnt feeling the best though she keeps getting colitus flare ups but she is doing well!💪

    Just had dinner😋 was lovely, no greens though as I don't like them haha! But I throughly enjoyed what I had. Dinner in spoiler as I know food maybe a trigger for some.

    Not been feeling too good mentally today. :( I

    know that I am supposed to be happy on Christmas Day but something keeps popping up in my mind. I look happy on the outside but on the inside I am feeling really anxious and traumatised. It is all because of the bullying that went on at school before the holidays. Sorry if everyone is tired of hearing this burden talk about it. :(

    Have a lovely time shopping @Past User! I hope you manage to get some good discounts. Your Pandora rings are so nice! I might have to have a look at their website today and do some shopping :). 

    We're always here to listen to anything you're going through @Kasa2103. I hope you're feeling a little better today. <3

    I had a lie in this morning which was nice. I was so tired yesterday! I managed to hide an egg-free cupcake from my family and they haven't found it yet so I'm going to eat that later on today haa! 

    How are everyone's days going today?

    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    @Kasa2103 that's a really nice gift and perfect for when it's cold like today! 

    @Millie2787 that sounds like a really nice day and a nap will definitely be needed! Did your Boohoo order arrive in the end? Try not to feel too much pressure tomorrow, remember it's your day and you're allowed to do whatever you'd like to do :).
