O R A N G U T A N D A Y ! ! ! Sooooooo, yesterday was all about our ancestors, the orangutans as we visited Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. What an awesome experience it was! To witness what the team at the centre do in order to rescue and rehabilitate orphaned orangutans and other orphaned animals. Of course, there had to be a "Clyde"esque character amongst them...🤣 THOSE EYES....❤️ I felt privileged to see exactly.how all of the hard earned money I had raised would benefit the centre too. THANK YOU to ALL of my supporters. #orangutansofborneo #dreamchallenges #sepilok @orangutanappealuk #sepilokorangutan rehabilitationcentre https://www.instagram.com/p/CkDUKT4vaKVWN994SzPZ_xPvmIaQMjsMz6GCCc0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I D I D I T 👌💪🙏✅️ With the help of an amazing group of incredible and determined humans I made the trek through jungle in Borneo and am now safely tucked up in a hotel bed in Sepilok where tomorrow I will finally get to "see" some of the orangutans I have raised an amazing amount of money with Y O U R help... it was actually SOOOOOO much more difficult than i thought it would be ...the UK would have had a health and safety nightmare....we had no harnesses, no karabiners, we crossed rivers, balanced on slippery ridges thousands of feet up...we slept on planks of wood, it rained and rained...it was tantamount to being in the Army in my head...I am so glad I went to the gym and worked hard in the kead up...pulling this body up was no mean feat...! However, if you have not yet managed to sponsor me, please do...the link is below and in my BIO and I flipping earned it!! More Borneo spam to follow...I make no apologies...this trip was both epic and awful in different ways... Mentally it was a challenge due to lack of sleep, I do not recommend planks of wood as beds, wearing wet clothes, living on rice for days...and then each day the physical challenges of facing mud slides, untrodden paths, scaling ridges over the deepest valleys, the most narrow of paths... crossing rivers and falling in and SOOOOOO much more...🏞 But, of course, there was laughter...SOOOOOO much laughter...no wonder we didn't see much actual wildlife! 🦧 #borneo #borneotrek #mysoberjourney #sobrietyjourney #14yearscleanandsober #junglechallenge #orangutansofborneo #orangutanappealuk @orangappealuk #perfectlyimperfect #personalgrowth (at Sepilok Jungle Resort, Sandakan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj-spxFPmmFRLM76dUr2jtwwedD_U3Wi23Bvaw0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

W O R L D M E N T A L H E A L T H A W AR E N E S S D A Y . . . For me, every day is mental health awareness day as I have been incredibly open about the batttles I have had with depression for most of my adult life. Weirdly, I stopped drinking alcohol on 29.09.2008 and I actually believed my mental health would improve however it has been the opposite as I have become more aware of the nature of depressive bouts. Over the years I have lost a few friends to suicide and I am well aware that 'suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem' but my experience has taught me that others are not as open or as vocal as I have been or am. Exercise; regular and consistent exercise has been a huge part of my recovery from depression. Just getting out for a walk, a bike ride or a simple stretching flow helps me to ground myself. Regular attendance at AA meetings has supported my recovery from alcoholism and addiction as well as calming my mind and alleviating triggers affecting my mental health. Back in 2018 after a huge life change, relationship breakup, relocation and career move I was so low, suicide ideation was a daily occurrence and thank God for the Samaritans helpline as a lovely guy listened to me for over 45 minutes and helped me see why living was an option. I will be forever grateful to that lifeline and listening ear. So, just for today, I can choose my feelings and I can choose to start my day again, even at 2pm... There iS a solution...and YOU are not alone... Please, please do not suffer in silence. .pick up the phone, send a message...even when your head is telling you how shit you are...it is NOT true...they are thoughts and thoughts are NOT reality anymore than some posts on social media are reality... Please feel free to DM me, call.me, message me...I KNOW what it actually feels like to not want to clean your teeth, to take a shower, to face the day, to pick up the phone.

W H A T A V I E W Happy Monday! Woke up to THIS today! Impromptu sleepover in a beautiful home where Winston once stayed... Life is good. In recent weeks I have lost two very close friends...and so Just For Today, i choose to grab every opportunity that comes my way..., Nothing better than waking up to the sound of seagulls, and a sunrise over the SEA. Definitely retiring here. That is for sure.... #seaview #winstonchurchill #broadstairs #artsandcraftsera #pool #friendship #fun #seafood #soberlife # (at Broadstairs) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjPkXFgMg4-o02i995Hj--VzTzwzMySZaGrZ_E0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

R I P T O M Y F R I EN D . . Back.in 2006, I had the good fortune to have met this amazingly, talented, kind , caring, loving and funny man! Alfie was what he called himself in this Western World he was named Afzaal Mohammed at birth but he was always Alfie to me....😊 We had a passonate and whirlwind relationship however as neither of us appeared to "look" our age amd we had met through work, I had no idea he was a mere 23 year old when I was 35!! And because we had already enjoyed 3 months of loving we thought 'what the hell' and we carried on...After all he loved Fawlty Towers! C'mon, how many 23 year olds do you know who watch that!? 🤣😂🤣 With Life's 'twists and turns' and my alcoholism our relationship ended as passionately as it had begun, however over the next 16 years we would learn that we would always be there for one another and briefly in 2016 we tried again...it was not to be...yet, he always had my back...💔 and I had his.. I learned today that Alfie passed away at just 38 years old. I was aware of his underlying health issues however I am heartbroken. 🙈 Alfie was and always will be my rock...my Elvis, my Buzz Lightyear...🤣😘 Once again, I am painfully reminded to live for the moment... RIP Alfie 1983-2022 I will always love you thank you for all that uou taught me, for the laughs we shared and the adventures we had. Your boys were incredibly lucky to have had you as their Daddy xxx #lossoflovedone #elvis #friendship #cougarlife #liveforthemoment #gonetoosoon #heartstopper https://www.instagram.com/p/CjGRmhUM-ga/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

L E T T I N G G O . . . What does it mean? How do we do it? Why do we have to do it? In the same way that the trees shed and let go of their brown and dead leaves it is considered healthy for us as humans to let go of things that hurt us. If those dead, brown leaves remained on rhe tree, the tree would be held back from growing new, revived green leaves. It is the new leaves that take nutrients from the elements back to the trunk and feed it goodness... So, how do we let go? Well, I am in the process of letting go of past hurts...so, what I do is through meditation and I am not that great at this so bear with... I have learned that if I keep hanging on to the hurt then it keeps hurting me. To resent someone or some thing means by the very nature of the word, is to 'REFEEL' so I continue to feel that hurt...does that make sense...? So, be like a tree and shed the hurt and anger feelings and make way for new experiences to help nourish us in order to grow. # languageoflettinggo #let go #moveon #cull #stripback #resentmentsarethenumberoneoffender #12stepprogram #mysoberjourney #mysoberlife https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci4NuhSo0wJea2417luOgc3wht33eXZgcnUTRE0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

S A T U R D A Y I am learning to make the most of every moment...and look at these moments...💭 I am absolutely exhausted, I have been working 2 jobs for a few months now, I am not moaning, needs must and I am not work shy, just that one role is in Nottingham and the other is 110 miles away in Cirencester! My choice....But, I am a child of the 70's! 🤣 I was reminiscing today partly due to my daughter turning 30 and partly due to my upcoming 52nd birthday 26.09) and 14th Sobriety anniversary looming (29.09.08). I was thinking back over my 100mph life and do you know by the time I was 26 years old I had been married and divorced, lived down South at Portsmouth in Navy Quarters, lived in Portugal, had 2 children lived by the sea at Margate and I had 3 jobs!! All without the physical help from any family! W O W ! It is NO wonder that I am feeling burnt out today. I also had my vaccinations for my Borneo Trek, (departing in less than 4 weeks), and I felt lousy at work yesterday so have had to recoup today...and where better than H E R E in the Abbey Gardens, under glorious sunshine, peaceful, serene surroundings and a R A T 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙃😱👌💗 H A P P Y.

C O N S I S T E N C Y Following a horrid period of depression triggered by a life change earlier this year I had put on quite a bit of weight due to "eating crap" to change the way I feel... Overeating in the small hours not only changed the way I felt, it also changed the way I LOOKED ...so, that didn't help... After 4 months of NOT training, exercising, even walking really it WAS SOOOOOO HARD to force myself back but ONE DAY AT A TIME, I DID IT! Look at me now?! 🏋‍♀️🤳💪 I may not be a size 10, but I can SEE CHANGE I AM STRONG but beat of all... I AM SANE...❤️ even with crazy shit going on around me... This has happened because I bave been CONSISTENT, even when I don't want to I turn up...I train, even if I swear at the equipment... even just for 30 mins but I did and I do 3 days every week. I ride my beloved bike once or twice a week for 10 to 20 miles and i enjoy the outdoors...I walk everywhere I can...I park.in the space furthest away from the door...🏋‍♀️💪 Last week, a friend passed away, suddenly, out of nowhere...one minute he was alive and we were chatting and laughing and 6 days later he was gone! That tells me this....... , WE TRULY ONLY DO HAVE THIS MOMENT... ❤️ Enjoy it!! Wear your best (matching) undies, cause chaos, laugh at stupid stuff, hug everyone you can, smile at every single person who crosses your path TODAY, buy a sandwich and a hot drink with a bottle of water for the person begging you for money in the street...one day, that could be YOU. #livelovelaugh❤️ #livethismoment #thisisme #sobrietyrocks #mysoberlife #consistencyiskey #justdoit #rippaulwalkden (at Bingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cib-bFlsllcwPH2cmH0ziv3h-bVko7wRDilOaY0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

F A M I L Y F U N Fun Accepting Mother Insightful Loving Yummy After a tough few days I drove to see my family... I knew what I needed and I was not disappointed.... we enjoyed a delicious meal, sat around the table, we chatted, I cried, we laughed and we ALL felt too full...I took selfies...the blooper is on here too 🤣😂 We went out for a drive and did some Pokémon Go...we even did a Raid...🤣 I fell in love with a graphic DUDE on the app...(I know, I know...) We had a little walk with Bobby the new puppy, we drank coffee from paper cups and put the World to rights...🐾🐕 It was just what I needed...my other sister @cheekyram123 had her paper round (sorry, her son's paper round to do 🤣🤪) so I didn't get to see her, but that meant more food for us...(look for the gifts...) #familytime #sisters #unconditionallove #Sundaydinner #dogs #costacoffee #pokemongo #goodtimes #sundayfunday https://www.instagram.com/p/CiYcyKgMz78ZbyJMTSF2ApoliN2C_c4vRq3WSI0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

W T A F . . .😉💪 It does seem to be the case for me...I just wish I didn't kick back so much as I have to go through such pain to reach the end of the "lesson". I don't mean that to sound like 'self pity' as I now know that there are reasons why I experienced all that I did over the last 2 years but boy I don't half make things complicated do I? Mind you, at least I won't be making THOSE decisions again...🤣 How do YOU learn lessons?

H A P P Y M O N D A Y How many people start their week off by having a breakfast meeting with an England Rugby Player and ex Fighter Pilot!? Well, LadyM did just that today! Honesty, ir was primarily a business meeting however I was itching to ask "how many G's he had experienced?" It was 7!! WOW!! Superb venue at Angel and Royal, Grantham and the staff who served us were outstanding...especially Danni in the restaurant who served us a FILL English and copious amounts of tea and cofee and Sally Anne on Receotion was just adorable and nothing was TOO much trouble. Highly recommend as a venue for breakfast, lunch, dinner, weddings and meetings #roryunderwood @k2accountancygroup #networking #angelandroyal #breakfast #meeting of minds #England Rugby #raf @connorshadowsmile (at Angel and Royal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiH3J0psfOHl-Pe8eBNEp7IAdbLH3Xa-9BB1fk0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
