Can’t believe it’s been over 2 bloody years since I made the decision to move away from London and come to Wales to live with my love ♡
Like… what the actual f**k 😂 time is moving faster than my mood swings.
When I met Jack, I just knew.
And I don’t mean “oh he’s cute” knew.
I mean “that’s my person… I’m keeping him” knew.
We both pretty much clocked it early on that I was gonna move. It wasn’t even a question, it was like… right then, guess I live in Wales now 🤷‍♀️🤣
And listen, there were a few reasons why I made the jump:
1️⃣ London holds too many bad memories for me.
Not even being dramatic it’s just facts.
Some places aren’t “home”, they’re just a constant reminder of everything you’ve survived.
And after a while you get sick of existing in places that make you feel heavy, you know?
2️⃣ Financially? Wales was the only sensible option.
Because in London, if you want to breathe, blink, eat a meal and live indoors… you basically need to be a millionaire or start selling pictures of your feet 💀😂
So yeah… Wales was the right move, financially and mentally. Period.
And honestly… since being here, I’ve grown so much as a person.
I’ve healed parts of myself I didn’t even realise were still broken.
Now don’t get me wrong… I still have my “f**k off world and leave me alone” days.
But babe… doesn’t everyone?
Some days I’m thriving, other days I’m one minor inconvenience away from flipping a table and joining a monastery 🤣
It was definitely a culture shock though.
Because going from London life fast-paced, busy, always rushing, horns beeping, people pushing past you like it’s The Hunger Games
to Wales where everyone’s like…
“Alright lovely… you okay?”
…and you’ve accidentally ended up having a full 10 minute conversation with a stranger outside Tesco.
I swear the first few months I didn’t know whether to panic or cry because nobody was in a rush 😭😂
But do you know what? That’s what I love about it.
Life feels quieter here.
It feels less… chaotic.
Less pressure.
Less noise in my head.
And I can say one thing with my whole chest:
I 100% made the right choice.
I don’t regret it for one single minute.
Do I miss my friends and family?
Of course I do.
I miss them more than people realise.
Sometimes it hits me out of nowhere and I’m like “ugh I just want to be near everyone again”.
But I had to do what was best for me.
Because staying somewhere out of guilt, or comfort, or habit… isn’t living.
It’s just surviving.
And I’ve done enough of that for one lifetime.
Wales has given me peace.
A fresh start.
A calmer mind.
And the best thing I ever did was choosing the life that felt right for me.
Now… I WILL say this…
Wales is stunning.
The views? Gorgeous.
The mountains? Unreal.
The vibe? Immaculate.
But the bloody weather??
Why is it always cold?!
It’s like the sky wakes up every morning and chooses violence 😭
One minute it’s sunny, next minute it’s raining sideways, then it’s windy enough to rearrange your spine.
I moved here for love, not to be permanently moisturised by the atmosphere 💀🤣
But jokes aside…
This place has changed me.
And Jack has changed my life.
And I’m honestly proud of myself for being brave enough to leave what was familiar and go chase what was right.

Here’s to 2 years in Wales…
and to the next chapter 💛

Restless Legs Syndrome… the bastard that ruins my life at night 😤
Right. Let’s talk about Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)… because if you’ve never had it, you genuinely won’t understand how much it can wreck your whole existence.
RLS isn’t just “oh my legs feel a bit fidgety”…
No no. It’s like your body is sat there going:
“Sleep? Absolutely the f**k not, you bastard.”
It’s basically this horrible condition where you get an overwhelming urge to move your legs, usually with these weird sensations like tingling, crawling, itching, throbbing, pins and needles… just absolute nonsense that makes you feel like your legs belong to someone else.
And the best part?
It’s worse when you’re resting… so like… when you’re trying to sleep.
Because of course it is. Because RLS is a petty little bastard.
So what causes this s**t?
Here’s the annoying truth… sometimes there’s no clear cause.
Like… your legs just decide to start beefing with you for no reason.
BUT it’s often linked to: ✅ Low iron levels
✅ Dopamine issues in the brain (that’s the thing that helps control movement)
It can also be linked to:
Pregnancy
Kidney problems
Iron deficiency / anaemia
Family history (thanks genetics, you absolute bastard)
Some medications
So basically… it’s not always “one simple fix”, because not everyone gets RLS for the same reason.
Who gets it?
Honestly? Anyone.
It can happen to adults, it can happen to kids… it does not discriminate.
But it’s more common in:
Women (yep, we get the short straw again 🙃)
People who are older
People with low iron
People with a family history of it
How many people suffer with it?
And before anyone thinks it’s “rare”…
Nope.
RLS affects around 5–10% of adults, and one big estimate says it’s about 7% of people worldwide which is roughly hundreds of millions of people.
So yeah. This bastard is out here terrorising A LOT of us.
What makes it worse?
Let me save you the headache:
❌ Lying down / sitting still
❌ Night time (obviously)
❌ Stress & anxiety
❌ Being overtired
❌ Caffeine (tea/coffee/cola/chocolate etc)
❌ Alcohol
❌ Smoking / ni****ne
❌ Not moving enough
❌ Low iron
❌ Some meds can trigger it too
So basically… life. Life makes it worse. Cheers.
What helps (even a bit)?
For me and a lot of others, it’s trial and error because RLS is unpredictable as hell.
Some things that can help: ✅ Walking around (even when you’re half dead with exhaustion)
✅ Stretching
✅ Hot bath / heat pack
✅ Cold packs (some people prefer cold)
✅ Massage / rubbing legs
✅ Compression socks
✅ Magnesium (helps some people)
✅ Keeping a steady sleep routine
✅ Iron treatment if your levels are low
Does it always work?
No.
Sometimes it laughs in your face and carries on being a bastard anyway.
What do doctors even check for?
If you’re struggling, doctors usually look at:
Ferritin (stored iron) ← IMPORTANT
Iron levels
Full blood count
B12 + folate
Kidney function Sometimes other stuff too, depending on your symptoms.
And WHY in 2026 do we not have a proper treatment?!
This is the part that annoys me most.
We DO have medications and things that can help…
but we don’t have one solid cure because:
RLS has multiple causes
It links to the brain/nervous system
What works for one person can do f**k all for another
Some treatments can help short term but then cause problems later for some people
So it’s not that nobody cares… it’s that it’s a complicated bastard of a condition.
Anyway… if you’ve got RLS too, just know I see you.
Because losing sleep to this s**t isn’t “a bit annoying”… it’s physically and mentally draining.
And if you don’t have it?
Count your blessings, because this thing is a relentless little bastard.
💀😩

RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME CAN F**K ALL THE WAY OFF 😤
Right… can we just take a moment to appreciate how Restless Legs Syndrome is genuinely one of the most rage-inducing, sleep-stealing, mind-melting things a human being can deal with?
Because honestly… this s**t is not for the weak.
People hear “restless legs” and think it’s like… a little twitchy foot or a cute fidget situation.
NO BABE.

It’s more like your legs have decided to start a full-blown nightclub rave the second you get comfortable, and your nervous system joins in like…
“Yeah let’s ruin her whole f**king life tonight.”
And the best part?
It always starts when you’re finally ready to sleep.
You could be dead tired… eyes closing… comfy… blankets perfect… pillow sorted…
Then BOOM.

That creeping, crawling, pins-and-needles-but-not-really feeling starts…
and before you can even process it, your legs are like:
🦵💥 KICK. TWITCH. JERK. RAGE. REPEAT.
And you’re lying there like a rotisserie chicken, turning over every 2 seconds thinking it’ll stop…
Spoiler alert: it f**king doesn’t.

MY PERSONAL HELL WITH IT
For me, it’s not even just my legs sometimes… it’s my whole body.
Like I’ll be laid there begging to sleep and my body’s like:
“No xoxo 💕 let’s vibrate internally and make you want to scream.”
And the longer I’m awake, the angrier I get.
Not like “aw I’m tired” angry…
I mean feral, tamping, ready to square up with my own mattress kind of angry.
Because when you’re exhausted and your body won’t let you rest, it’s not just frustrating…
It’s torture.
And it makes you feel like you’re losing your mind because nobody can see it happening.

WHAT I’VE TRIED TO STOP AN ATTACK (AKA MY DESPERATION LIST)
Let me tell you the s**t I’ve tried when an attack hits:
✅ Cold floor / standing on cold tiles
Sometimes it helps. Sometimes my legs laugh at me and carry on anyway.
✅ Weighted blanket
Works a bit… until it doesn’t… then I’m just trapped under it like an angry burrito.
✅ Tying something around my feet / pressure
Occasionally tricks my body into calming down… other times it does sweet f**k all.
✅ Walking around the house like a ghost at 2am
Gets rid of it for a minute… but then I lie back down and it comes back like
“MISS ME, BITCH?”
✅ Stretching
Helpful on mild nights. Useless when it’s a full demon attack.
✅ Hot shower / hot water bottle
Sometimes calms it… sometimes makes it worse… honestly it’s like playing Russian roulette with your own legs.
✅ Distraction
Phone games, scrolling, sudoku, anything to stop me thinking about the sensation.
Because the more you focus on it, the more it ramps up.
✅ Magnesium / hydration / all the “have you tried…” s**t
Yeah babe. I’ve tried it.
Sometimes it helps, sometimes it’s just another thing people say while you sit there suffering.

WHAT WORKS THE BEST FOR ME
If I’m being brutally honest?
The only thing that works consistently is a combination of:
🔥 moving around
🔥 cold / pressure
🔥 distraction
🔥 pure f**king willpower
…and eventually passing out from exhaustion like my body’s just done fighting itself.
There’s no “quick fix”.
There’s no “just relax”.
There’s no “have a warm drink and breathe”.
Because when RLS hits, it’s not a mood problem…
It’s your nerves going absolutely f**king rogue.

THE WORST PART
The worst part is when it starts affecting your sleep long-term.
Because then you’re not just tired…
You’re drained.
Emotionally wrecked.
Snappy.

Crying over nothing.
Feeling like a zombie trying to act normal.
And people don’t realise how much it affects your mental health because you don’t get the chance to properly rest.
Sleep isn’t a luxury.
It’s survival.
And RLS doesn’t care if you’ve had a hard day.
It doesn’t care if you’ve got work.
It doesn’t care if you’re already struggling.
It just turns up like:
“Hi bestie. Let’s ruin your night.”

IF YOU GET IT… YOU F**KING GET IT

So if you suffer with Restless Legs Syndrome or Restless Body…
comment and tell me what works for you because I’m always open to trying new s**t.
And if you don’t get it…
thank your lucky stars and say a little prayer for the rest of us because honestly…
this condition can f**k right off.

Love u all but I’m going to war with my own legs again ✌️😩

RIGHT. CAN WE HAVE A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE NHS?
Yeah yeah, I know controversial. People will have opinions. Good.
Because this s**t needs saying.
The NHS is on its knees.
Past breaking point.
Running on fumes, goodwill, and staff who are held together with caffeine and trauma.
And yet people still can’t seem to work out why.
So let me spell it the f**k out.
Does everyone remember a little thing called Covid-19?

You know the thing that caused mass hysteria, lockdowns, panic buying, and people begging the government to shut the country down to “protect the NHS”?
Remember how people were too scared to go to A&E back then?
Remember how suddenly everyone decided, “Actually, I won’t go to hospital for something minor”?
Funny that.
Because now?

Now it’s like:
“Stubbed my toe? A&E.”
“Stepped on Lego? A&E.”
“Got a sniffle and a sore throat? A&E.”
ARE YOU F**KING SERIOUS?
So let me get this straight
During Covid, people avoided A&E for actual problems because they were worried about catching something…
But now we’re living with Covid and suddenly A&E is the go-to solution for non-emergencies?
Make it make sense.

Picture this:
A waiting room with 50 people.
• 3 with stubbed toes
• 5 who stood on Lego
• 40 with cold or flu symptoms
• 2 with genuine, acute medical emergencies
Everyone gets triaged. Everyone gets assessed. Everyone takes time.

And guess what?
Your wait time is now 16 f**king hours not because staff are lazy, not because the NHS doesn’t care, but because the system is clogged with s**t that does not belong in A&E.
And before anyone jumps down my throat yes, I know GP appointments are hard to get.
But let’s not pretend we don’t have pharmacists.

Every. Single. Fu***ng. Pharmacy.
Can deal with common ailments.
And getting an appointment there is about as hard as buying a packet of crisps.
Yet the same people sat in A&E for nonsense are the loudest ones moaning about waiting times, funding, and the NHS being “broken”.
YOU. ARE. THE. PROBLEM.

If it’s not an emergency
If you’re not at risk
If it can be handled by a GP, pharmacy, or basic common sense
STOP. GOING. TO. A&E.
The NHS is not a walk-in convenience service.
It’s an emergency lifeline.
And if we don’t start using it properly, we’ll be the same people crying when it finally collapses wondering how the f**k it happened.
Honestly… what the f**k are we doing?

What methods do people use for restless legs? Yes it's got me in a chokehold again!!!!
My normal methods are:
● Cold Threapy ( Standing on freezing cold floor until my feet are numb)
● Magnesium Creams/Sprays/Oils
● Standing up & walking on the spot until I feel like my legs are going to collapse
● Grounding Mats
● Leg Massages
● Stretching before bed
● Putting On Tubi Grips (compression bandages) from the bottom of my toes up too the crease of my knee
● Tying a sock or something tightly around the middle of my feet

Now normally one of these would work and I would be able to manage to bring myself out of the attack buttttttttt none of them are working (I haven't tried Standing On cold floor as we have snow outside and knowing my luck I'll catch a chill).

My attacks at the moment are daily and they start at the same time every night 23:27 and then it will randomly go about 30 mins and then come back within minutes and then I'm stuck in the attack for hours! As you can tell from the time of this post.

If anyone suffers with restless legs or has suffered with it in the past and tried something that worked please I beg you with everything I have please share how you coped.

It's got me in a chokehold, I'm tamping because I can't get it too stop.

Willing to try anything at this point

2026! Did I Make Any Goals?

I think everyone can agree we all love a new years resolution. Thought most of us feel beat up if we are unable to achieve them.

So I didn't make any this year because all I want to have is happiness.

I plan to be as happy as I can be, getting through every obstacle life throws at me and be smiling the whole way through.

Because sometimes just getting through the day is the biggest achievement you will have and that's okay.

Not everyone is happy every day, not everyone lives a perfect life so if all you do is survive this year then you have won!!!

Happy 2026 everyone! I hope your year is filled with happiness, love, joy, honestly & amazing memories

RESTLESS LEGS IS NOT FOR THE WEAK!

I've suffered with RLS for some time now but only recently has it got worse.
I'm having daily attacks!
Lasting up too 5 hours and nothing shorter than 2 hours!

Now I have lost of different methods that nornall work:
🤍 Standing On Cold Floor (until my feet are numb)
🤍 Using a grounding Mat
🤍 having all my weight on one leg (until I feel like the leg is going to give way)
🤍 Tying something around the middle of my foot
But would you believe nothing is working!

I have so many different health conditions that I really do just try to take everything with a pinch of salt and think it is what it is but the level of anger than RLS gives me is indescribable!!
I feel the anger through my whole body and the more I try to fight the RLS movements in angrier I get right down to my very core.

I would 100% wish this on my worst enemy 😤

F**k you RLS
F**k off RLS
Go away RLS
Bother someone else!

If anyone has had the experience then you know exactly what I'm talking about, how frustrating it can be etc. So if you have any remedies that you too that work to bring you out of an attack please comment below because at this point I'm willing to try anything.

Restless Legs is NOT for the weak — and I’m saying that with my full chest.

Let me tell you something straight: juggling multiple health conditions isn’t some quirky personality trait I chose. It’s a full-time job I never applied for, never wanted, and can’t bloody quit. And out of everything I deal with, Restless Legs is the one symptom that really pushes me to the brink. Because holy s**t, it is NOT for the weak.

Right now I’m having attacks every single night, and everything that normally helps has packed its bags and f**ked off. Trying to explain this to someone who’s never had it is impossible — but here’s the closest I can get:

You’re lying in bed, finally getting comfy, ready to wind down… and then it starts. That tiny pins-and-needles tingle in your foot, the one you pray will just disappear. But oh no — BOOM. Your leg kicks out like it’s possessed. No warning, no mercy. Then your brain joins in like a deranged cheerleader: move the leg, move the leg, MOVE THE F**KING LEG.

And you try not to. You try to stay still. But the longer you don’t move it, the angrier you get — this deep, maddening, irrational rage that just builds and builds until you’re ready to scream. It’s like your own body is torturing you from the inside out. Anyone who’s had Restless Legs knows exactly what I mean — it’s vile.

Normally I can get it to settle if I stand up and rock side to side like some sleep-deprived flamingo. I take magnesium. I use the creams. I stretch. I walk. I do all the “tips” people swear by. Some nights that buys me a bit of peace… but right now? Nothing. NOTHING is working.

I’m on day 5 of night-time attacks.
I’m losing sleep.
I’m uncomfortable.
My legs hurt from standing so much.
And my patience? Absolutely tapped out.

I am done in. Fully cooked. I don’t know how to stop these attacks and I’m so damn tired.

If you know, you know — and if you don’t, pray you never have to.

Apparently sleep is something I no longer need. Brilliant. Love that for me.

Does anyone else get that thing where the longer you’re awake, the angrier you get? Like full-body restlessness, twitchy, ready-to-fight-a-lamp-level rage? Because honestly, the sleep deprivation turns me into a feral little gremlin with trust issues. I can’t even explain the anger — it’s pure evil simmering under my skin.

Truth is, I’ve never been good at sleeping anyway. Four, maybe five hours a night if the universe is feeling generous — and even that’s broken. I swear I’m built backwards because I sleep better in the daytime like some sort of emotional vampire.

And these past two weeks? Flu from hell. It’s wrecked whatever tiny bit of sleep routine I had left. I’m running on three hours a night, max. Tossing and f**king turning like I’m auditioning to be a rotisserie chicken. Night sweats? Don’t even get me started. If I don’t have my fan on full blast, the bed ends up soaked like I’ve just completed a triathlon in my sleep.

And now it’s 2am. I’m sat up falling asleep like a narcoleptic pensioner — but the second I lie down, my brain goes, “WAKE UP, BABE, LET’S SUFFER.”
Honestly, what is this nonsense?

I swear, I’d sell my soul to the devil for one solid 8–9 hour sleep. No interruptions. No sweats. No rotisserie impressions. Just unconscious bliss.

Tamping. Fuming. Raging.
Utter, unfiltered bu****it.
