Hello! Foggy is bouncing up and down on the sofa so I’ve left him to it and come upstairs to BED. A Spotify playlist is playing softly next to me and I’m leaning against pillows as I type this. It struck me earlier that I haven’t written a blog for a while so I have …
Hi! I’ve been away from work for nearly 2 weeks for the Christmas and New Year period. I had planned on relaxing and recharging my batteries ready for a busy 2019. However, I got a muggle bug (that’s a non-M.E. person virus) and spent 5 days wilting in my bed. Hardly recharging! I am now up …

However, Foggy is all about raising awareness and as it’s been a while since I blogged about payback, it’s time for another go …
Hi! I’d like to share the love about Team Foggy’s friend Retha Viviers. Over the past year or so, Retha has become a close confidant and someone to bounce ideas off.
