Country Iifestyle. Books. Cosy hobbies. Food. Mental health. SEND.
If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I’d love to try a new hobby… but I don’t have the energy for anything big,” this is for you. Not every hobby has to be a full project, a new identity, or something you commit to for months. Sometimes you just want something small. Something comforting. Something that fits the mood you’re already in.
This post contains affiliate links. This BBQ pulled pork is one of those recipes that feels like comfort food but still fits nicely into a Slimming World plan. It’s made in the slow cooker with minimal prep, uses simple ingredients, and is perfect for batch cooking. Whether you’re serving it in wraps, with jacket potatoes, or saving portions for later in the week, this is an easy, family-friendly meal that doesn’t require much effort at all.

While grabbing an air freshener might seem like the quickest fix, many of them bring unwanted chemicals along for the ride – not exactly the cosy vibe we’re going for.

I didn’t originally plan on sharing this here, but after posting something similar on Facebook and receiving so many kind, understanding replies, I realised there might be others who need to hear they’re not alone. So I’m sharing it here too – a little glimpse into what life looks like right now while living with chronic fatigue and the mental health struggles that come with it.
