Hey Guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope your all well?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another Month has past and I am getting closer and closer to Gareth's deployment and If I'm honest not all that much has been happening here at home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Figures crossed it is a different story next month though since I have applied for a job - eek.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even though It has been a quite month here is May's Roundup.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rjSVSCvZ1cI/VXGfBmn3bDI/AAAAAAAAHT8/ia3oli5P0mw/s1600/WORKING.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rjSVSCvZ1cI/VXGfBmn3bDI/AAAAAAAAHT8/ia3oli5P0mw/s640/WORKING.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><u>Blog & Fitness Break.</u></span></strong></div>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This past month has been a <em>tad</em> quite here on Talking Transplants. This is just because I had been feeling a tad down in the dumps the beginning of the month and just kind of fell of the fitness and blogging train - and trust me I am hating myself for it now!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That said the break seems to have done me good as I am now being super productive and hope to get back to posting three times a week for you as well as some content over on my YouTube channel (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmZJrzgPyDLf3r_2fP8p9A" target="_blank">Here</a>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am also jumping back into fitness and as I currently type this my abs are burning really bad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No Pain No Gain Eh?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In May I was lucky enough to spend some Quality time with my little sisters!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Annabel even came to stay for 4 nights and we got up to lots of crafty stuff and every day was full of giggles and I have to say I have really missed that since I moved away from home 2 years ago..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I had been feeling really down in the dumps this was just what I needed! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am sure lots of you will agree that when your not feeling great Family can ALWAYS put a smile on your face.</div>

<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">Socialising The Pups & Making Friends !</span></u></strong></div>
<div align="center">
<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;"></span></u></strong> </div>
<div align="center">
The past month we have really been trying to socialise the pups, and in turn have made some new friends here on base ourselves!</div>
<div align="center">
The boys have really enjoyed playing with other dogs, and always does them good as they are brothers they do pretty much everything together so it's always nice to see them playing with other puppies - like Denzel in the photo above our new friends dog!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Also helping picking up my mood has been meeting a new friend here on camp who comes from Stoke which isn't too far from Birmingham and really brings that sense of home back to Fairford.</div>
<div align="center">
Living away from your hometown can be really lonely at times, especially if you live on a camp as isolated as ours - so always helps making new friends.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope your all well?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday I uploaded a post about the Lush Luton Bloggers event - which you can read about <a href="http://talkingtransplants.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/lush-luton-summer-bloggers-event-part.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In that post I explained how I had a fabulous skincare consultation and ended up picking a few things up, so today I thought I would do a haul all about what I chose.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you go into Lush you are welcomed by a huge wall of skin care and sometimes this can be really daunting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There were so many things to choose from I didn't even know where to start.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cl51oXHAMm4/VWwy1YCT1cI/AAAAAAAAHMo/ygMx_F71fh4/s1600/SKINCARE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cl51oXHAMm4/VWwy1YCT1cI/AAAAAAAAHMo/ygMx_F71fh4/s640/SKINCARE.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because of this I would highly recommend asking a Lushie (member of staff) for help-if you are unsure. Especially as some products are really quite pricey so It is best to be sure you are getting the best thing for your skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The consultation I had done took no more then 15 minutes and I had all my questions answered and even got to demo the products - thank you Lauren!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M3PP_NynErw/VWw2JZECaVI/AAAAAAAAHM8/5h-Uzyo2YaM/s1600/DSC_0026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M3PP_NynErw/VWw2JZECaVI/AAAAAAAAHM8/5h-Uzyo2YaM/s640/DSC_0026.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The First Product I got was <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/ultrabland" target="_blank">Ultrabland</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a cleanser that is a absolute piece of magic at removing makeup!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With the use of Bees Wax, Almond Oil,Honey & Rose water this waxy cleanser strips away any trace of makeup and grime of your face really quickly and gently.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was actually really affordable at £7.35 for 45g which is the small tub above, or you can get a 100g pot for £11.25 which is fab!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You simply massage this onto the face after a long day and massage away all your makeup then simply wipe away with a wet face cloth or cotton pad. Lauren did tell me though that this product sometimes takes a bit of perseverance as the rich ingredients can sometimes break you out before it makes a difference so they sway to give it a month to really give this a shot. I will be doing a more in depth review after a month of using this to let you know how I get on, but so far so good!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pPhKSxpxiyM/VWtB1BvlPaI/AAAAAAAAHKg/2JgeAt83Wig/s1600/DSC_0021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pPhKSxpxiyM/VWtB1BvlPaI/AAAAAAAAHKg/2JgeAt83Wig/s640/DSC_0021.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I then went on to tell Lauren that I really wanted something to exfoliate the skin gently as I had tried another exfoliating scrub from lush which was way too harsh for my sensitive skin.</div>
<div align="center">
She then showed me this yummy delight - <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/cleansers/let-good-times-roll" target="_blank">Let The Good Times Roll</a>.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
This is another cleanser but with this one you have to mix it in your hand with a tiny bit of water and make it into a paste (and also try not to eat it as it smells like buttery popcorn yum!)</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
To exfoliate skin Lush have used polenta and maize flour to gently buff the skin, and although it is super gentle it is still super affective. </div>
<div align="center">
This cleanser will cost you £6.75 for a small tub or you can get the bigger one for £16.68 to give your sensitive skin a effective exfoliation!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tVQLufErkV8/VWwzdVNiLXI/AAAAAAAAHMw/rSiZ3fOe0MI/s1600/FACEMASKS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tVQLufErkV8/VWwzdVNiLXI/AAAAAAAAHMw/rSiZ3fOe0MI/s640/FACEMASKS.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
<img border="0" height="212" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WP2c6O7Le_Q/VWw4dCuYRxI/AAAAAAAAHNM/R8dUQReaGaU/s640/F4ACEMASK.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div align="center">
<br />
<span style="color: black;">The next thing to do was pick out a face mask since I had some black pots to recycle (use 5 lush pots and clean them out and take them into store and you will get a free face mask!).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I usually look for something that helps problem skin as my medication very often makes me break out. Lauren recommended two face masks but in the end I chose <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/catastrophe-cosmetic" target="_blank">Catastrophic Cosmetic</a> which smells like blueberry yogurt! It is packed full of amazing ingredients like blueberries, calamine and chamomile, rose, and almond oils which really helps soothe and soften the skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>

After using this it made my skin really glow and felt baby soft - and can't beat something that smells THIS good. All of their fresh face masks cost £6.50. Because they are fresh they do need to be kept in the fridge but this just adds to that soothing and calming affect to the skin - great for when this summer weather arrives (which will hopefully be soon?)</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then the final thing I picked up for my new skin care routine was a toner water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To complement the other products I chose Eau Roma Water which has rose water and lavender water in which both help soften and soothe and reduce redness on the most delicate if faces.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have really been enjoying spraying this onto a cotton pad and sweeping across my face just before I moisturise, it really makes you face feel squeaky clean and complete!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was really budget friendly with a small bottle coming in at £4.25.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
What are your skin care favourites?</div>

Do you have a favourite from lush? Or are you looking for something yourself?</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hey guys!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hope your all okay?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On Friday me & Gareth jumped into the car, popped on the radio and drove 2 hours to a summer skincare bloggers event over at Lush Luton.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I was super excited for this event as I was in desperate need of new skincare as I want my skin looking a lot better with my moms wedding coming up and wanted to check out sun care with Gareth been deployed in a few months.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oV_Z9JQerhA/VWs_66hjy9I/AAAAAAAAHJ4/J-yh717AQws/s1600/DSC02107.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oV_Z9JQerhA/VWs_66hjy9I/AAAAAAAAHJ4/J-yh717AQws/s640/DSC02107.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As soon as we arrived Rosie, Nikita & Lauren welcomed us to sit down and enjoy the snacks they had provided - and I was not going to turn down Percy pigs & pretzels!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Once all the other girls arrived we were shown the itinerary and hoped straight into it!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nigNLKKTNEs/VWs_nUY3g7I/AAAAAAAAHHg/Xxnmhbeeodw/s1600/DSC02057.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nigNLKKTNEs/VWs_nUY3g7I/AAAAAAAAHHg/Xxnmhbeeodw/s400/DSC02057.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I started by getting a colour reading while everyone else tried out </span><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/teeth" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">toothy tabs</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> (they weren't something I really liked the idea of - it is basically toothpaste in a solid tablet that you chew then rinse..)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I fell in love with the colour </span><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/intuitive" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">intuitive</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> - a apple green with gold shimmer in it and really may be picking this up soon as it really pops on blue eyes! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I then went on to have a skincare consultation with Lauren - who was a genius if I do say so myself.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cl51oXHAMm4/VWwy1YCT1cI/AAAAAAAAHMo/ygMx_F71fh4/s1600/SKINCARE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> <img border="0" height="160" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cl51oXHAMm4/VWwy1YCT1cI/AAAAAAAAHMo/ygMx_F71fh4/s640/SKINCARE.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have been looking for a new cleanser for a while now so Lauren showed me how amazing </span><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/ultrabland" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ultrabland</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> is on the back of my hand - I did go on to buy this but I have a skincare haul coming up tomorrow do keep your eyes peeled for that!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I explained to Lauren that I love exfoliated face scrubs but having sensitive skin some scrubs can really irritate my skin and this is when she showed me the most beautiful smelling cleanser called </span><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/cleansers/let-good-times-roll" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">'Let the good times roll"</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> which had popcorn in which gives you a really light exfoliation, perfect if you like to scrub yourself like me but want to have skin left afterwards!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tVQLufErkV8/VWwzdVNiLXI/AAAAAAAAHMw/rSiZ3fOe0MI/s1600/FACEMASKS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tVQLufErkV8/VWwzdVNiLXI/AAAAAAAAHMw/rSiZ3fOe0MI/s640/FACEMASKS.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Finishing off to skin care consultation I decided to pick out a </span><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/masks" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fresh Face mask</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> since I had 5 pots to hand in.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you didn't already know if you take 5 clean pots back into lush you are rewarded with a FREE face mask.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While I made my decision Gareth popped over to Nikita who helped him pick out a solid shampoo bar.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ObTmLCm_RNA/VWs_zQRz2JI/AAAAAAAAHJA/tvMtGjWyUaY/s1600/DSC02088.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ObTmLCm_RNA/VWs_zQRz2JI/AAAAAAAAHJA/tvMtGjWyUaY/s400/DSC02088.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I adore these inventions and they have really helped change my hairs condition!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They lather up beautifully on the hair and leave your locks smelling so good.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They are perfect for travelling as they are very lightweight,last up to 80 washes and mean your not having to take liquid into your suitcase - you can buy tins to store these in too but I just leave mine out on the side of my shower to be honest (just remember not to get them wet!) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rosie then was kind enough to talk us through the sun care range.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now they have three forms of sun care - </span><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/dusting-powders/powdered-sunshine" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Dusting Powder</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">, </span><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/lotions/sesame-suntan-lotion" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Lotion</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> & </span><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/scrubs-butters/sunblock" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sun Block <strong>WASH</strong></span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They have a range of factors from 10,15 & 30 which is fantastic.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That said though sadly the factors aren't quite high enough for me - I tend to go for a factor 50 because of my pale skin & being post transplant, but Rosie had an AMAZING idea, I could use the dusting powder as a setting powder for that extra protection.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I will defiantly be getting this in the future, so do let me know if you would like to see a separate post about this.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>

Hey Guys!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope your all well?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last month I did my first ever <a href="http://talkingtransplants.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/april-photo-challenges.html" target="_blank">photo challenge</a>, and made it even more challenging by doing TWO photos each day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You all seemed to really love that post so I decided to do it again during May!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Challenges I used this month I again found on pintrest and were </div>

Hey Guys!</div>
<div align="center">
Hope your all okay?</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I decided today after a conversation I had with someone a few weeks back to do a post about 'Things people DON'T know about liver failure'</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
When thinking of liver failure people usually come up with two usual stereotypical things - You Are Yellow, <em>Correct</em>. You are an Alcoholic, <strong>Incorrect</strong>.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Here are some things that come with liver failure that people don't always know..</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><em><strong>(also I must mention symptoms are different for us all..)</strong></em></span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><strong>Liver Failure Causes Confusion..</strong></u></span></div>
<div align="center">
<u><strong>(Pstt I did not know what an IPod Was!)</strong></u></div>
<div align="center">
<strong><u></u></strong> </div>
<div align="center">
Your liver is the organ that filters toxins so when it is failing it starts doing this not so well, so as liver failure progresses you get further toxin build up.</div>
<div align="center">
Now I know some people don't get to this stage and are lucky enough to be transplanted before they start asking why a patient in the bed next to them keeps going and buying eggs (yep this is what I thought..).</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Myself and many others on the other hand though get very poorly and the toxin build up leads to really bad confusion and it also affects your personality. I become VERY sarcastic and said things as they were - which is not like me usually, I'm very sensitive of others feelings.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Although to people witnessing it, it can be rather amusing when it is happening to you it can be very frightening and worrying.</div>
<div align="center">
I remember every day getting more and more confused until the point that I couldn't Gage what was real and what wasn't once I started having hallucinations of floating feet every night (Bizarre eh?!)</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Have to say this was the one symptom I really <strong>Hated.</strong></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">Constant Itching... GRR!</span></u></strong></div>
<div align="center">
<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;"></span></u></strong> </div>
<div align="center">
This is probably the one symptom that most liver patients get and the one symptom everyone equally hates!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
On the liver ward I am pretty sure Piriton is probably the most used medication. </div>
<div align="center">
When you become jaundice (yellow) it is cause by something in your blood called bilirubin and when your liver is failing you create more bile which causes this Yellow colouring - which in hand causes constant itching.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I remember having to be tucked tightly into bed so I couldn't move in my bed because I was just waking up to sheets covered in blood from itching myself to pieces in the night - I tried everything to stop the itching. Pressing cold ice on it, hot water bottles, blowing cold air on the itch but every temperature change made you itch...</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Oooo I don't miss the Jaundice Itch!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><u>Its not A Beer Belly... Its Ascites!</u></strong></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
This is the BIG one many people don't know and I know I'm not the only one that wished more people knew about it. </div>
<div align="center">
People see Liver patients with big belly's and presume "Oooh there an alcoholic look at the beer belly!" yet that's not always the truth! </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
When your liver fails some people get something could ascites which is basically fluid build up in your stomach.</div>
<div align="center">
This fluid often needs to be drained from the stomach as you can carry lots of litres in your stomach which is absolutely horrible especially if you have also lost a lot of weight because of liver failure your also carrying around this uncomfortable weight too.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
It causes breathlessness too as it pushes up on your lungs..</div>
<div align="center">
To the point I ended up in ICU with fluid round the lungs and heart!</div>
<div align="center">
Not nice, So next time you see someone a think "look at that beer belly.." maybe just take a second think.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
There are many other symptoms people are unaware off.</div>
<div align="center">
Did you know these were symptoms?</div>
<div align="center">

Well I am sat here in my office with the rain tip tapping of the window and can't help but laugh at how ironic April Showers are since I am sat here writing my April Roundup! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its been another slow month here at home but here are my favourite parts of April 2015.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(And <a href="http://talkingtransplants.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/toning-up-at-home-progress.html" target="_blank">here</a> is last months post for any of you interested..)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;"></span></u></strong> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been very lucky this month as Gareth has brought me two beautiful bouquets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is something about flowers that instantly brighten my mood so you can see why the second bouquet I received last week is now sat with pride of place in my office! <span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>*glances up*</em></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gareth is actually quite the romantic but that said as soon as I posted the middle photo onto the dreaded Facebook it was instantly covered in - "What's he done ?" kind of comments..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Why do we think if a man buys flowers he is after something ? <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(sometimes a tad true...)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank You for cheering me up Gareth !</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><u>Organ Donation RT From Zoe Sugg.</u></strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last week Zoe Sugg better known as Zoella tweeted out a photo of her organ donor card so in response Me & A fellow transplant patient Katie <span style="font-size: x-small;">(You can read her blog<strong> </strong></span><a href="http://misskmgammon.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">here</span></strong></a><span style="font-size: x-small;">) </span><span style="font-size: small;">tweeted her.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few minute's later my phone was going crazy! Low and behold Zoe had very kindly retweeted us both.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is far past being RT'd by someone I enjoy watching on YouTube it is amazing for organ donation awareness, as it shows above she has an amazing 3.2 MILLION twitter followers,and our message of how important organ donation is got showed to them in a matter of minutes !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Between the two tweets we managed to get 7K Favourites and around 700 retweets and that number keeps rising every day which is fantastic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just shows how amazing social media is for sharing messages of importance !</div>

I never thought I would be the person that looked forward to working out but that's how it has ended up.<br />
<br />
I love the feeling you get post workout and when you can see a progression from working out, I can never see it myself though until I look at photos I have taken after every couple of workouts to keep track. Don't get me wrong I am far from fighting fit and I won't be running a marathon any time soon ,but I am trying to get fit for several reasons (tone up and help my anxiety) and I am really proud of myself for sticking with it.<br />

What did you get up to this April?<br />
Are you ready for May?<br />

I went for the Gingerbread, Pear and Caramel Crumble Tart With maple & walnut ice cream.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was different from any other desert I have ever eaten before and it was so good - for sure will be my go to next time we pay <a href="https://www.oldenglishinns.co.uk/our-locations/the-royal-george-hotel-birdlip" target="_blank">The Royal George</a> a visit !</div>

Gareth went for the classic that is Hot Apple Pie with Custard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It kept him quite for longer than 2 minute's - so compliments to the chef !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He really enjoyed it and said the portion was just right, I did get food envy with this desert if I am being honest, can't beat a classic can you?</div>

After we finished our drinks we decided it was time to make a steady drive to the cinema, but it was very reluctantly as the restaurant was so relaxing and had a lovely feel about it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We honestly can't wait to go back, The Food was Amazing, The staff / service where without fault and the whole scene it set was just beautiful!</div>

So I can highly recommend both <a href="https://www.oldenglishinns.co.uk/our-locations/the-royal-george-hotel-birdlip" target="_blank">The Royal George Hotel</a> & the new Avengers movie (<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>it was sooo good, beat the first by a mile!</strong></span>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Royal George is a Beautiful place to eat while still being extremely affordable - Under £30 For The Whole meal inc Drinks ! (<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><em>Would've been £9.48 more but the lovely staff gave us free deserts with our mains, Thank You!)</em></strong></span></div>

Hey Guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope your all okay?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I figured I would share the routines and what I have been doing this month to try and tone up since quite a few people were interested in my progress (<em><strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">thanks guys!)</span></strong></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The photo above was taken on the first day of me starting to workout - funnily enough on snapchat it had the caption "1 work out done.. Where are my abs?" ha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think we are society of impatient people generally we want to see results quickly so YouTube and the Internet is full to the brim with quick high intensity work outs to help you achieve your fitness goals <strong>quickly</strong></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><u>Tummy Area / Abs.</u></strong></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-shskMrYWrUY/VT1MgNeIkvI/AAAAAAAAG0U/kuyE8SN5CQE/s1600/abs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-shskMrYWrUY/VT1MgNeIkvI/AAAAAAAAG0U/kuyE8SN5CQE/s1600/abs.jpg" height="160" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My tummy was one of the main areas I wanted to try and tone up, so a lot of the workouts I have been using are focused on abs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That said I really did not imagine that in a month I could have such visible results - especially if I am honest I have missed a few weekends and days here and there and I haven't changed my diet at all, the only difference there is I have been trying to drink more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first video I have found gives really good results is this Ab Workout from XHIT over on YouTube.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nB-O6iaAsYo/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nB-O6iaAsYo?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The exercises in this workout mean that not only are you getting an ab workout you are also working your bottom half of the body too - your legs really feel it during this workout.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are looking for a less focused routine and want something to work more then one area, this one will be great for you !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mBiWl_4fbzk/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mBiWl_4fbzk?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For something that really works your core?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then this Bye Bye muffin top routine also by XHIT on YouTube is awesome!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You do still get some workout on your legs but this really works your stomach,and the more you tighten those tummy muscles the better the results (I found a week of just pushing that little bit more really made the difference)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both workouts are less then twenty minute's long so great for those of you short on time, or like myself if you don't have the stamina for hour long workouts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Doesn't mean you have to loose out any results as these are high intensity in a short amount of time - winner if you ask me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><u>Bum & Legs</u></strong></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall I have pretty strong legs as in they have some power behind them BUT they need serious toning / definition.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I am on steroids because of my transplants, and after so many years of having them they have had a real effect on my bones and in particular my knees which made me worry about squats.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As everyone says squats are the best think for getting definition to your legs and bum.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Long story short, I slowly introduced squats into my routine and now I can do them with a lot more ease, granted not with as much depth as the woman on the workout but at least I can do it now ha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This 'Booty' workout by XHIT honestly is the reason I have seen a difference in my lower body.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I generally do this every time I workout and it really is great.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is great if you don't enjoy squats as it uses lots of other equally great moves - with a few squats in between!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Highly Recommend this one.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you DO enjoy squats then this is a insanely beneficial workout.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
100 Reps.10 Variations of Squat in.. 8 minutes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This workout does burn - but in turn gives great results.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would love to hear about what work outs you use to tone up?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have really surprised myself with how much I am enjoying working out, I think its true that when you see results it motivates you to do more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just remember though ladies,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
workout for YOU and nobody else - YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL</div>

Hey Guys!</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
Hope your all well?</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
I am always shocked at just how quick time flies recently, and when I realised I have been married for <strong>9 months</strong> on the 19th of this month I was even more shocked the usual.<br />
</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AiJwZQlLxvw/VTzAyZrFOMI/AAAAAAAAGuE/s5QxLw9DDbs/s1600/IMG_1543%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AiJwZQlLxvw/VTzAyZrFOMI/AAAAAAAAGuE/s5QxLw9DDbs/s1600/IMG_1543%5B1%5D.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a><br />
</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
It still feels like just yesterday we got married - yet it is quickly approaching towards a year, <em>insane</em>!</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
Since my 6 month update not all too much has changed in regards to the relationship really.</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
Like I did say in that post though we have been settling into a new base and we really have fallen in love with it - the area, the people everything about Fairford is great (<em>so far at least</em>..)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oVe8hNQVa90/VTzA5TaHlDI/AAAAAAAAGuc/g3bhzH1_VA4/s1600/IMG_2995%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oVe8hNQVa90/VTzA5TaHlDI/AAAAAAAAGuc/g3bhzH1_VA4/s1600/IMG_2995%5B1%5D.JPG" height="200" width="200" /></a></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
The biggest change since last time is that we have discovered Gareth has a deployment coming up, so we have just been arranging plans for once he is away since we have no family too close.</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
Knowing he will be going away for quite a while (<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><em>as I'm sure you understand I won't be sharing any kind of information that is too personal for obvious reasons..) </em></strong></span><span style="font-size: small;">we have just been trying to spend as much time as possible together, and getting up to a lot of searching for cool places to visit here in the Cotswold's.</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
I am quite obviously going to miss him so much while he is gone,</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
but I am just going to try and keep myself distracted and busy while he is deployed in the hope time will pass quicker!</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
In terms of being used to being a Mrs now?</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
I have defiantly got used to seeing Mrs Jakes now and not Miss Trevener.</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
That said though some places haven't changed my title over to Mrs yet and it always makes Gareth laugh as it annoys me - after all I am married so I think I deserve that Mrs title ha.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope your all well ?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday I uploaded <a href="http://talkingtransplants.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/2-months-with-squidge-smudge-puppy.html" target="_blank">Smudge's 2 month update</a>,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so here is my pup Squidge's update.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SG87Ikia-lk/VTeUKPEhPHI/AAAAAAAAGoA/RS0XrFyurtI/s1600/DSC01283.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SG87Ikia-lk/VTeUKPEhPHI/AAAAAAAAGoA/RS0XrFyurtI/s1600/DSC01283.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Out of the two Squidge has defiantly changed the most I'd say.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When we first got him he was very timid but as time has gone on he has gained a lot more confidence and independence - and is proofing to be just as cheeky as his brother.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-db5ESdD4IuM/VTeUWlgFh2I/AAAAAAAAGoQ/xadV-LekBe4/s1600/DSC00965.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-db5ESdD4IuM/VTeUWlgFh2I/AAAAAAAAGoQ/xadV-LekBe4/s1600/DSC00965.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When off the lead and around other dogs he has so far proven to be the more ballsy out of the pair,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so much so that moments after I had taken the above photos two huge newfoundland's came bounding in the water after them, and instead of being scared like smudge he ran after them - I don't think he quite gets that he is just a puppy!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whereas Smudge is pretty good at recall, Squidge can sometimes take that bit longer to call back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm sure like all things this will get better as he gets older, but his love for children and other dogs can sometimes prove a challenge when out on the field!</div>

Once inside the house though he turns into a completely different dog!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is no longer as playful and becomes my sleepy napping side kick - the picture above was a weekend nap (for us both...)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He still enjoys playing don't get me wrong, but it's very much on his terms.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The 14th of this month marked 2 months since we picked up Squidge & Smudge so I figured why not post an update aka a reason to post loads of cute photos of puppy's !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In this post, I will be chatting about Smudge, and tomorrow Squidge.</div>

They have both grown into right characters already, so god help us the older they get!</div>

Since we picked them up and I wrote the post introducing them <a href="http://talkingtransplants.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/squidge-smudge.html" target="_blank"><strong>here</strong></a><strong> </strong>they have already changed a lot really quickly.</div>

Smudge is still a little rascal - and don't think he will ever change!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That said though out of the two he is defiantly the cuddler - especially paired with puppy dog eyes when he has eaten another pair of my knickers and Gareth's socks... yep you read that right !</div>

The other thing that hasn't changed about him is the fact he is his brothers shadow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whatever Squidge is doing you can guarantee Smudge is right behind him!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have to admit I think this is pretty sweet, although that said it can be pretty difficult to deal with two pups of the lead, especially when Squidge runs off!</div>

That said though he is slowly becoming a lot more independent,</div>

as we found this weekend when he decided to make a dash for it when of the lead - something caught that spaniel nose of his!</div>

Even though he loves following his brother around he is still a tad unsure of other dogs if they get a little bit too much in his face or if Squidge isn't close by.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are hoping this will change the more socialisation he gets with other dogs.</div>

So far he is proving to be a great little dog!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is doing really well at recall and is generally well behaved - but can't expect them to angels at 4 months old.</div>

We started our weekend at <a href="http://cotswoldcountrypark.co.uk/" target="_blank">Cotswold Country Park & Beach</a> on a gloomy Easter Sunday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since the puppies have had there last lot of injections we were eager to get them out and about this weekend so it made sense to take them somewhere to have a swim!</div>

Once we had finished up at Birdland we were pretty hungry so decided to take a little walk into the little village of Bourton on the water since some people had recommended it to us.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We defiantly weren't disappointed!</div>

Another month has flown by and I didn't even see it happen, crazy how time flies eh.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month again hasn't been too interesting since we are sorting out getting rid of an old flat along with loads of other things but these were the things that stuck out to me.</div>

This month (well in all honestly in the past week.) I have been trying my best to get my fitness back up to a decent standard. I have been doing the 30 Day Shred (you can find it on YouTube) alongside with some Victoria Secret abs & bum workouts again on YouTube..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been switching my workouts around so that I'm working my whole body as well as to stop me getting bored!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be uploading a update post with pictures next week for those of you interested.</div>

Some of you may have read my post about me meeting Pinny who has just gone through transplant and had a few questions to ask - You can read that post <a href="http://talkingtransplants.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/and-this-is-why-i-blog.html" target="_blank"><strong>here</strong></a> to get up to date.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I went to visit Pinny & Her family they have told me how much the visit helped and because of this I have decided to set up a page here on my blog and my Facebook that people can find contact details of mine so they can get in touch 24/7 if they or someone needs some support.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am also hoping to be able to arrange visits too if my own health is permitting to support those who are going through there own transplant journey!</div>

Hey Guys !</div>
<div align="center">
Hope your all well?</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
In my last post I was chatting about how I met Pinny in ICU last week but before that I had Liver Clinic to check on my liver and see how my change in medication is going.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Last time I was in <a href="http://talkingtransplants.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/liver-catchup-december-to-now.html" target="_blank">clinic </a> one of my anti-rejection medications was stopped since they thought it wasn't really working anymore so that was the end to me taking Sirilimous.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
As I explained in my <a href="http://talkingtransplants.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/liver-catchup-december-to-now.html" target="_blank">last liver clinic catch up</a> post dependant on my last lots of bloods they would stop another drug I am on and put another in its place.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QbA-whDT3nM/VRbzY6pRcWI/AAAAAAAAGFQ/zi-_6OGltAA/s1600/always.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QbA-whDT3nM/VRbzY6pRcWI/AAAAAAAAGFQ/zi-_6OGltAA/s1600/always.jpg" height="320" width="228" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">source:pintrest</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
So I was very happy to find out I could start the new medication to see how I got on with it.</div>
<div align="center">
The best part of all of this is that they will hopefully get my liver numbers into a normal range for the first time ever - and in the long term it would mean me and Gareth can think about trying for children which a few months ago most defiantly wasn't a choice.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
We won't know until next month whether the tablets are having the desired effect but I am already feeling more alert and even my eyes are a lot brighter so I am really hoping the blood results back up how I am feeling.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I have been taken completely off mychophenolate to be put on azathioprine so I am really hoping to have positive blood results next month - it would be the ideal situation for everyone really.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I usually have a bang of nervousness for next clinic as you never really get used to waiting for those results to get back but for once I'm feeling a lot more positive about these results, it would be amazing if these tablets do the trick...</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
But if they don't ?</div>
<div align="center">
Well I'm not too sure but what I do know is both Me & Gareth will be gutted.</div>
<div align="center">
So here's to positive thinking and these tablets changing things for good for me!</div>

Hi Guys !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope your all well?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many of us bloggers get asked what it is that makes us blog and I have several reasons myself but the main one being support for those affected by transplant and to inform those who are interested / want to know more about organ donation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been using Talking Transplants to not only inform people of my story and what implications liver failure brought to my life but I also try and show people affected by transplant that life can return to some form of 'normality' and that a life post transplant isn't just about taking life long medication it is about taking that second chance of life and using it in the best way possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since starting my blog around 2 years ago now I have had the opportunity to get in touch with people who have been affected by transplant and swap stories, share advice and the opportunity to try and make a difference.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really hope that I can Inspire / Help others and Support them through the whole situation, which I didn't have myself as such. I want to be able to pick people up when they feel down and I have always been this way!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-24LAj9lweEE/VRF82J_dHcI/AAAAAAAAGEw/Or8G3zUfM9w/s1600/inspire.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-24LAj9lweEE/VRF82J_dHcI/AAAAAAAAGEw/Or8G3zUfM9w/s1600/inspire.jpg" height="320" width="223" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But last week, I did the best thing I have ever done with the use of Talking Transplants.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few weeks ago, My wedding story was shared once again on the NHS Organ Donation Campaign page and as it always does it lead to a few messages falling into my inbox. As I replied back to them one stood out,it was from a girl called Robyn and she explained her Mom was waiting for a transplant and she had a few questions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From then on Me & Robyn would message each other every few days and I would ask how things were going and then answer any questions they had. I then found out that she wrote a blog following her journey - a great perspective from a transplant patients family ( You can read her blog <a href="https://pinnysdaughter22.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"><strong><em>here</em></strong></a> ).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After I read a few posts I realised her mom wrote a blog too from her perspective as a patient waiting for transplant ( <a href="https://valpinny.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">you can read it <strong><em>here</em></strong></a>). I instantly felt attached to this family and knew I wanted to help them the best I could by sharing my experiences.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some time passed and Pinny got her call - but sadly it failed and she went on to have a second transplant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was in touch with her daughter throughout all of this,and just wanted to give her and her family a big hug as they must have been so scared. After having a chat we decided since I was in clinic last week that we would meet up if her mom was feeling up to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So fast forwarding to Thursday (rewinding now really..) I finished up at clinic and made my way up to the restaurant where I met Robyn and her cousin. After a good chat we made our way down to intensive care where I had the pleasure of meeting Robyn's sister and the Lovely Pinny - She Looked BRILLIANT!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There she was sat out in her chair and I had a pretty quick flashback of being sat in that chair myself feeling scared of what the future held for me considering what my journey had already consisted of.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After we had a long chat about a range of different things and I had answered some questions before Pinny started to feel a tad tired so we decided to leave so she could have a well deserved rest - I know just how draining it is sitting out in that chair!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once we returned to the restaurant Pinny's sister had arrived so we had a chat and I told them some bits and bobs i felt would help them once Pinny was discharged as sometimes there are things doctors forget to tell you - like the fact being told your being discharged should only be taken seriously when you have left the hospital, something a lot of long term patients will be more than aware off!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After we said our Good Byes to this brave and incredibly lovely family I had to hold in the tears.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Going back to ICU made it all so real to me what I have been through myself which I often forget.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Visiting Pinny and her family made me so happy,it reminded me that my blog IS making a difference and helping those in need of the support.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall I just want to say thank you to Robyn for getting in touch in the first place and allowing me to be there during your mom and your families transplant journey. You have allowed me to see what I want to achieve in the future - To continue supporting transplant patients and there families.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am planning on seeing Pinny in a few weeks and can't wait to see how well she is doing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This has just shown me as always how amazing organ donation is,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank You to my Amazing Donors & to all the donors who have saved these brave people I continue to meet - Our donors will forever continue to be our heroes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hug your Loved Ones & Remind them just how much you love them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stay Safe & Speak Soon</div>

Hi Guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope your all well?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few weekends ago two of our best friends and their little boys came to visit us in our new home, and we all went out walking and played with kites and the puppies !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PfmS3w0KZzU/VQGHRdAsyjI/AAAAAAAAGAY/TVZ6MGKukas/s1600/DSC00567.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PfmS3w0KZzU/VQGHRdAsyjI/AAAAAAAAGAY/TVZ6MGKukas/s1600/DSC00567.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4GbSbZeyu7k/VQGHR2JAnfI/AAAAAAAAGAk/D950a6u1KNU/s1600/DSC00573.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4GbSbZeyu7k/VQGHR2JAnfI/AAAAAAAAGAk/D950a6u1KNU/s1600/DSC00573.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After speaking to people in the local area we found a huge hill that overlooks the local area where the boys could fly their kite and where Gareth and my friends husband could ride on a long board - who said little boys grow up eh' ?</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--kPamKtUlRs/VQGHVr8NYxI/AAAAAAAAGAw/Kis7w3LRjhQ/s1600/DSC00581.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--kPamKtUlRs/VQGHVr8NYxI/AAAAAAAAGAw/Kis7w3LRjhQ/s1600/DSC00581.JPG" height="150" width="200" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o1Ax-HW6gLE/VQGHWVLBVcI/AAAAAAAAGA4/WhejqRULslA/s1600/DSC00582.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o1Ax-HW6gLE/VQGHWVLBVcI/AAAAAAAAGA4/WhejqRULslA/s1600/DSC00582.JPG" height="150" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once we actually got there we soon realised it probably wasn't the best place to fly the kite since there were some huge drops around not ideal for little ones, so in the end we just walked on the little trail they had while taking photos of the views as they were stunning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were lucky enough to be out on the warmest and sunniest weekend we have seen in months, so all the animals were out and about in the fields and the cows were having a leisurely sunbathe lay right across the path which the boys found pretty funny ! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At this point instead of walking even further we decided to just walk back to the car and fly the kite on the huge field at the base we live at, after we had fussed the horse we saw on the way of course !</div>

I popped into LUSH Luton last weekend and the store was super busy and full of people getting last minute mothers day presents, but since I already had that sorted I was more than happy to go around the store smelling all of the brightly coloured Easter treats while catching up with my favourite lush team.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First I want to share my new favourite which was part of the mothers day range, so if you want to try it out I'd get it ASAP .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As the name suggests this bubble bar has a gorgeous violet scent, it starts of as a Parma violet sweet scent but then turns into a true floral smell.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used this in a bath cocktail with the hoppity poppity bath bomb, and it was so relaxing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a new favourite, why do I always love limited edition stuff!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How sweet is this bubbly bunch of carrots?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This trio of carrots creates a bath full of citrusy bubbles - one carrot can get you about three baths so for £5.95 that's great value too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think this is a great one for the kids (big and little kids alike mind you..)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do kind of wish this had a stronger scent to it, so much so I think I will be picking up the matching soap next time I'm in store.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so glad they brought this back this year because this is possibly one of the best smelling products they have brought out - toffee and caramel scented !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This little golden egg is one of my favourites, what's not to love about an Easter egg covered in gold glitter, packed with moisturising butters and oils.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the perfect product when you want a real pamper (also heads up if you want a really amazing bath, chuck in a honey bee bath bomb to fill your bathroom with a heavenly toffee caramel scent)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Honey Bee is part of lush's permanent range but it compliments a lot of the Easter products.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A lot of the ingredients in this bath bomb are super soothing and softening which makes this sweet bath bomb perfect for this time of year when your skin needs some TLC.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love to use this when I need a bit of a pick me up as this is very refreshing with the use of orange oil. For very dry skin, add this into your bath with golden egg and use honey I washed the kids soap and I promise you will feel super pampered.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How sweet is this little bunny?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lavender in this bath bomb makes it very soothing and relaxing but the popping candy and lime oil make it uplifting - making this one great for little ones, its similar to ikkle baby bot, yet it shares the same scent as ultraviolet bubble bar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At £2.50 this is great as a pocket money friendly Easter treat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This soap looks so heavenly with it's multi-coloured chunks and iridescent glitter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is full of neroli, rose & mandarin oils so is defiantly a soap which has up lifting properties in mind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is very softening and it is a fab soap but the scent just isn't as strong as I'd like it too be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This may be perfect for those of you who aren't into some of the strong scented products lush have.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't get me wrong though I do love how sparkly this is!</div>

Another permanent product lush has to offer which reminds me of toffee apples or sherbet!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again this goes so well with a lot of Easter products.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a fun one for adults and children as it swirls out like a Catherine wheel shooting out blue colours and popping candy - definition of bath time fun!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This shower jelly has a super rich caramel scent something I wasn't expecting considering it has pineapple juice in it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That aside this makes your skin super silky so all that together gives you a super pampering product.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It smells so luxurious, and with the addition of glitter you just have to love it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you all may have already gathered I am a bath person but this stuff gives a shower a bit more jazz so I actually find myself wanting showers instead now.</div>

Hope your all well?</div>

Today I thought I would share a recipe with you all after a bunch of people requested it after seeing me post photos of cookies I have been making.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my second attempt of photos because I lost the first lot of triple choc cookie photos - grrr (don't worry I will upload that recipe soon too ! )</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In February I baked these cookies about 5 times,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are super quick and easy to bake and went down really well so I knew I had to share the recipe with you.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take your room temp butter and mix this in with your sugar - since I don't have a fancy mixer I just get in there with my hands. If you ask me that's what baking is all about !</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RrfZtTUvyqw/VPY1Kk8izjI/AAAAAAAAF2k/o4rLVsq5ruA/s1600/DSC00491.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RrfZtTUvyqw/VPY1Kk8izjI/AAAAAAAAF2k/o4rLVsq5ruA/s1600/DSC00491.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Make a well in the centre of your mixture and crack in your egg.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YLwBb5Z-QYw/VPY5Ig6pxWI/AAAAAAAAF4A/gMGNwpL25dU/s1600/DSC00494.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YLwBb5Z-QYw/VPY5Ig6pxWI/AAAAAAAAF4A/gMGNwpL25dU/s1600/DSC00494.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then gradually pop in your flour, you should sieve it in but I don't have a sieve so I just gradually pop it in, but I have never had a bad result doing this so who knows... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If your mixture looks a tad too dry then just add in a dash of milk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once you have your cookie dough you then want to break your chocolate into your bowl,I added in a bit of dark chocolate I had left in the baking cupboard and at this point you really can put in whatever you want.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I even did a batch of white chocolate and raspberry cookies recently and they were fab, just be sure to the follow the main recipe for the dough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make sure the chocolate spreads evenly you want to take the dough from the bottom of the mixing bowl and bring it up to the top, and keep doing that until its evenly mixed again.</div>

Roll your dough into ten equal balls then pop them onto a baking tray and into the oven at 200c for 12 minutes - Yes just trust me, nly 12 minutes no longer!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Above I have put five on each tray but if you have the time / oven space pop three on each tray as these cookies really do spread out,so prevents them getting stuck together during the bake.</div>

Once baked you need to let them cool for 25 minute's, which will leave you with a crunchy outside and a gooey inside YUM!</div>

These are super easy and quick to bake so I hope you all enjoy giving them a go and mixing up the flavours inside of them, I will be uploading some more baking posts soon, so feel free to comment below any things you would like to see me bake :)</div>

Hey Guys !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope your all well ?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another Month has flown by so here I am about to tell you all about my February.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you all had a great month, here is what I got up to.</div>

<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">Told my anxiety where to go...</span></u></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This month has been an amazing month for me and dealing with my anxiety.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been to a bloggers event, had a few other days full of meeting people due to my blog and not one anxiety attack has come.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This month has been a pretty hectic one and then we found out Gareth will be going a way for a few months at some point with work so usually this would be a huge trigger, but using breathing techniques, every time I have got through it with no problem at all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been so proud of myself and it's allowing me to do so much more - Wahoo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been using a few apps that I think may have helped so will do a blog post telling you all about those soon. Just shows sometimes you just have to push past that anxious feeling and it gets easier each time then.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The big thing this month was when we got our new little puppies - <a href="http://talkingtransplants.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/squidge-smudge.html" target="_blank">Squidge & Smudge</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are brothers and are cocker spaniels, they are beautiful little boys, cheeky though of course!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are getting there last injections at the end of the month and am so excited to get them out walking with us - more than anything to drain some of there surplus energy bless them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can imagine I currently have a iPhone full of puppy photos so be sure to follow them over on instagram - yes they have so many pictures they have an instagram (@squidge_smudge) </div>

<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">Getting my bake on!</span></u></strong></div>
<div align="center">
<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;"></span></u></strong> </div>
<div align="center">
I have always loved to cook since I left home, and always share recipes here on my blog (lots more on the way!) but I have never really taken to baking - until this month.</div>
<div align="center">
What put me off baking is you have to be so accurate where as with cooking you can pretty much change up a recipe and its fine, but with baking it needs to be a bit more structured but I have been making cookies and brownies nearly every weekend this month - so I am pretty sure my waistline dislikes me. I have been sending them into work with Gareth though and he has said they were a win at work, so with my new found love for baking I think the lads he works with will be happy enough to keep receiving cookies on their tea breaks !</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
This month has been a very exciting yet normal month for me,</div>
<div align="center">
A lot has changed, A lot has stayed the same.</div>
<div align="center">
That's life really isn't it, just because people seem to be doing super exciting things around you it doesn't mean your personal life is any less interesting :)</div>

<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1G7pWFwIu8U/VO4cUljWC_I/AAAAAAAAFyg/Zoh2gmaDvSw/s640/blogger-image-1470914637.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hey Guys!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope your all well?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I have been seeing a few images circling facebook which just really hit a nerve with me, and decided I wanted to chat about here..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I completely understand men also have problems with body image and body confidence but today I want to talk about women (a male post is coming soon for you lads.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1G7pWFwIu8U/VO4cUljWC_I/AAAAAAAAFyg/Zoh2gmaDvSw/s640/blogger-image-1470914637.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Source : Facebook.com</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was the image that I saw and it made me actually feel really quite sad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the image a girl is stood looking at herself in the mirror and she zips down her side and takes out stuffing from her body then she is seen to be sparkling looking in the mirror of a thinner version of herself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="269" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OU_4kYqUIh8/VO4cQE3QkWI/AAAAAAAAFyI/u4MoaW5v22M/s320/blogger-image--1872077862.jpg" width="320" /><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Source : Google.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
Then when researching into more of these types of images for this post I found this post about change.<br />
The character evidently looses weight and is seen to be smiling..<br />
<br />
These kind of images ?<br />
They make me feel so angry and sad.<br />
I understand as much as anyone else we aren't always happy with the ways we look but posting images like these just gives drive to these thoughts and all I can think is what age girls are viewing these on social media and thinking they need to change?<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="198" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-5sUR7oF_PCY/VO4cTA7Dk-I/AAAAAAAAFyY/UWJ7L5ILka0/s320/blogger-image--668905102.jpg" width="320" /><br />
<br />
This image in particular actually made me want to cry..<br />
Back in 2013 I was going through a pretty bad time when it came to my body confidence and I remember feeling just like this image indicates.<br />
I remember looking at my post transplant stomach and hating it, I have been left with excess skin and deep stretch marks all over my body from the fluctuating weight liver failure put me through and I felt disgusting.<br />
The problem was never with my scar as I have always seen my 'shark bite' as my mark of survival as such, but I hated how I looked.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Pygdmfi28sc/VO7wyTa_VQI/AAAAAAAAFy4/orusWr4sJnw/s640/blogger-image--2043610964.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="176" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Pygdmfi28sc/VO7wyTa_VQI/AAAAAAAAFy4/orusWr4sJnw/s320/blogger-image--2043610964.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<img border="0" height="272" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-WzcrLuvV0RY/VO7w2KwWXFI/AAAAAAAAFzI/g0abk_4cT9Q/s320/blogger-image--1489381693.jpg" width="320" /><br />
With help I learnt that this wasn't a healthy way to think, and it was a much more rooted issue linked to more emotional things going on in my life at the time.<br />
I am now in a much happier place, but still from time to time struggle and seeing images like these just make me blood boil, images like these just justify how young people may be feeling so they think its okay to have such a distorted image of themselves - yes we all have days where we would probably change how we looked from time to time but to feel like you want to take scissors to your stomach ? that's a whole new extreme that needs to be spoke about.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<img border="0" height="251" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4bE2bBYv94s/VO4cWC8Eq5I/AAAAAAAAFyo/gwz7LUusGnA/s320/blogger-image-837292359.jpg" width="320" /><br />
But then I come round to the one thing that I think is a huge part to play with a lack in body confidence and body image - girls being bitches about other girls.<br />
Now I'm not saying everyone does this, as I know myself I don't but when I see images like the one above it makes me so angry.<br />
Who is one person to judge another?<br />
<br />
I have been on both sides of the spectrum,as a young teen I carried a bit of weight then lost it and was just really curvy at the end of school/before transplant and then after transplant lost a ton of weight, so much so had to have a ng tube put in to help me gain weight (an ng tube gives you a liquidised diet through your nose directly to your stomach)<br />

Stomach post transplant.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here my stomach is very flat but the truth is, I wasn't in good health!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So really what is more important - our figure or our health?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sadly though I was scrutinised and laughed at for being all sizes, but I must say when I was 6 stone due to my transplant people would really stare and make horrible comments but they didn't know WHY I was so thin,proof that we never know why people are the size they are and what they are going through !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I was 6 stone though I didn't realise just how thin I was until I look back now at 10 stone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This really scares me as it shows just how easy it is to have a distorted self image.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I was at a healthy weight in year 11 (and currently) I was very body confident, and this showed as I ignored anything negative people had to say.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I still struggle with the way I look from time to time, but deep down I know there is nothing at all wrong with the way I look - we are ALL beautiful.<br />
<br />
So honestly girls bitching on girls? <br />
Come on what's going on there ladies?<br />
Instead lets reinforce how BEAUTIFUL woman of all sizes are!<br />
Together we can promote a healthy body image :)<br />
So maybe think in future if you are about to scrutinise someone's image, if you have nothing nice to say? Stay quite.<br />

Hi Guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope your all okay?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This weekend I fancied popping into Lush Swindon to have a nosey at the Mothers Day Range - And I honestly felt like I was betraying Lush Luton (Sorry guys see you in around 2 weeks ha)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After picking up a few goodies (Haul coming soon)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got chatting to the Manager Aan-Sofie and she remembered I had wanted to have a emotional brilliance reading so figured I would tell you all a little about it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center">
The whole point of these 'readings' is backed by Lush's beliefs that a colour can be linked to how we feel.</div>
<div align="center">
So on the wheel there is an array of different colours and on the flip side of each is a positive word.</div>

These words have been assigned to a colour when a team at lush were asked what they thought of when they looked at each colour - pretty awesome right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The lushie (member of lush staff!) will ask you to close your eyes and clear your mind...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then on a count of three you open your eyes and pick the three colours which catch your eyes first.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The interesting thing about emotional brilliance readings is that they won't necessarily be the same each time as we are always looking for different things all the time (will explain what I mean next)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5WYhoafGaO0/VOyiSDFAO5I/AAAAAAAAFwY/1QmGhqt3oRc/s1600/DSC00360.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5WYhoafGaO0/VOyiSDFAO5I/AAAAAAAAFwY/1QmGhqt3oRc/s1600/DSC00360.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The order you pick these colours are also relevant so they get laid out in the order you picked them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The First Colour is supposed to explain a trait you are currently feeling/portraying and mine was <strong>Fantasy</strong> which is completely accurate as I am a real dreamer and have a very child like excitement about me - especially when in lush!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(although looking at all my 'words' together they sounded like some kind of thing from 50 shades!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second is supposed to be something your currently looking for in your subconscious and my word was <strong>Strong </strong>which is also very true as I am always looking for more inner strength to battle past my social anxiety and I always feel like I must prove I am not weak.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the third is supposed to be your talent which will help you achieve and accomplish the second word, which again makes sense as my word was <strong>Passionate</strong> and I feel exactly that towards my blog and helping others which in turn helps me feel strong to keep going and achieving more.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The whole idea in itself is already absolutely fantastic and I can't wait for the bloggers event in Reading to give it a try again and see what it all works out like.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But to make it even better each word represents one of there makeup pieces in the range which happens to be the same colour as the circles you choose.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/fantasy" target="_blank"><strong>Fantasy</strong></a> is a beautiful gold eyeliner, one that I will defiantly be purchasing at some point I am sure!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/strong" target="_blank">Strong</a></strong> is a beautiful coral orange/red lipstick that will be amazing for the summer!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/passionate" target="_blank"><strong>Passionate</strong></a><strong> </strong>is a bright magenta lipstick which is an amazing party shade ! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really enjoyed the reading and thought it was a really fun way at finding make up shades you will love all via the subconscious of your mind - aren't our brains amazing?</div>
<br />

So much so even Gareth had a reading, which I was giggling away at,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for any of you interested his words were In Charge, Control and Independence - all VERY accurate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Why not have a reading next time you pop into your local lush instead of thinking <em>'Ooh whats that spinning circle thing for?..'</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em></em> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All the emotional brilliance products are priced at £14.50 which is amazing as they are super pigmented and you could totally use them as multi use products.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will you be giving this a go soon?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stay Safe & Speak Soon</div>

Hey Guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope your all well?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Any of you who follow me over on Twitter - @KateJakes__ or My Talking Transplants Facebook Page you will already know that we now own two puppies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div align="center">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dqZKruBIu6U/VOHcoibfNWI/AAAAAAAAFq4/lvpTB5_JVtQ/s1600/DSC00191.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dqZKruBIu6U/VOHcoibfNWI/AAAAAAAAFq4/lvpTB5_JVtQ/s1600/DSC00191.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are two cocker spaniel puppies,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We got them we they were ten weeks old (so 12 weeks now).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When we went to see them we instantly fell in love with them - and there mom I may add as she had this amazing quiff thing going on so here's to hoping we have fluffy cocker spaniels when the are older! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TcTutyM6QMI/VOmX1sqEl4I/AAAAAAAAFtk/kJ6ZTsYMGvo/s1600/IMG_1016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TcTutyM6QMI/VOmX1sqEl4I/AAAAAAAAFtk/kJ6ZTsYMGvo/s1600/IMG_1016.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is Smudge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He currently is the pup wearing a black collar, but what really tells him apart from his brother is his one black ear and one black and white ear!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Smudge is the most adventurous out of the two and is into EVERYTHING - Including my new cameras flash... Naughty Pup!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is the smaller of the two puppies though, but he sure rules the roost out of the two.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E1aba95OmwY/VOmX9H4uGFI/AAAAAAAAFt8/k3JoCtFa19E/s1600/IMG_1081.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E1aba95OmwY/VOmX9H4uGFI/AAAAAAAAFt8/k3JoCtFa19E/s1600/IMG_1081.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then we have Squidge - Wearing the Red Collar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The more reserved pup of the two, but very chunky and loves his food (I think he may be me in dog form ha)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He loves to have his ears rubbed and act all innocent, but we are learning it is him that is showing smudge naughty things to do then runs before he gets caught.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So he puts those cute puppy dog eyes to use every day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They <strong>are</strong> brothers as we really wanted them from the same litter if we were going to have two pups at once.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are the sweetest little things - when sleeping of course!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The spaniel in them makes them rather excitable when they are awake ha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They love to play together, and they are real little pups playing fetch with sticks in the garden, but that said they are both a tad in love with a toy pheasant and duck, living in the Cotswold's where these are both around may be interesting when they are a bit bigger oops..</div>

At the minute they are just playing in the house and garden as they haven't had there jabs so they can't be walked just yet, but goes without saying I am pretty excited to get them out on leads and walking around the picturesque village we live in.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They have settled in amazingly well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first night they were here they got all bathed and cuddled with us (third photo is Squidge post bath, how cute?) which we were shocked by as usually it takes a while for puppy's to really bond with you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since then though I can't take a bath in peace they always jump up and have a nosey, not ideal when they have super long ears that DO get in the bath, little monkeys!</div>

I can't wait to start sharing more photos with you all but for now you can follow an instagram account I have made especially for the pups - who doesn't like cute puppy photos?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The instagram is squidge_smudge if you fancy having a nosey..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will also have a vlog going up soon over on my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmZJrzgPyDLf3r_2fP8p9A" target="_blank">youtube channel</a> from the day we picked them up.</div>
