Productive Friday and Preloved Fashion

A very long day, a higher fibro pain and fatigue day but I have ticked a lot off my to do list. Feeling wiped tonight, been awake since around 6.30am and it’s approaching midnight…

I haven’t Blipped the last few days as I spent yesterday in bed in full fibromyalgia flare up, my body just said “nope” so listened to it and had a rest day, catching up on smaller things.

Snapped these colourful array of leaves today. A beautiful autumnal carpet. Lots of life admin caught up with and texts, emails and messages caught up with. Still need a big Blip journals catch up.

Popped into the Cancer Research UK charity shop today whilst in town as I saw a beautiful, cosy throw, been looking for one exactly like it to help keep me warmer on these chillier evenings. 

It is one of their new goods items and it caught my eye in the window, very thick, red and white design and an absolute bargain for the quality at £13.99, very pleased with it. I am going to use it as a blanket on my bed.

I found two tops as well, each only a quid on the sale rail (see extras). A mustard shirt which will go very well with a lot of my autumnal wardrobe and an Apostrophe cardigan both of which as new. Especially pleased with the cardigan as it’s a good quality brand, would have cost around £30 brand new.

Looking forward to wearing them. I’ve lost a lot of friends and family to various cancers. Happily, have many friends and some family who are cancer survivors. I like to support cancer charities when I can. So chuffed with the preloved items, love a bargain.

Picked up my gym membership card today and looking forward to getting started with some paced exercise to help support my fibromyalgia and joint hypermobility syndrome pain management. Going to start slow. The staff there are incredibly efficient and approachable and induction booked in :)

Collected a letter of support re my health from my GP surgery today, was very grateful that she waived the charge for me.

Duolingo piano song practice this evening and some comedy. No Ukrainian lessons today, must catch up over the weekend.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, I plan to rest and do some gentle exercise if I feel up to it.

I’ll catch up with journals over the weekend, long overdue! Will Blip my new blanket at some point soon.
