I did a bit too much yesterday and I felt it last night felt really drained and my back was hurting, feel better today though I am actually going to sit on my bum afternoon and watch Christmas films with my little girl. Just be careful going back to work though Hun, are you in a manual job? Xx

Same hun have done very little today but won't be letting hubby know ive over done it when he gets home lol. We own a cafe and fridays are super busy he has been on his own all week managing fine but needs someone with him friday im sure i will be ok to make a few coffees and cut some bread. Ive done the min today so whe he gets in i wont be uncomfortable or in noticeable pain. I feel ill be ok to go.

Hope you get to rest and enjoy your Christmas films xx

I haven't had surgery yet but I've been almost bedridden everyday since July after I went on BC all the time which has caused me to flare up and have 1 good day a month. I can't stay out for more then a like 2 hours now...

I picked up different hobbies: knitting, clay work, jewellery making, song writing, candle making, lotion making, painting, and lots of science and math out of boredom. And I also do modules in school but these past 3 weeks have been hellish.

I'm 17 and don't have kids so I'm not really sure what you could do without getting the kids riled up. Unless if you pick up a hobby and do it with them?
