About Me

My name is Chloe Metson (or sometmes TinglyMum on the blog), and I live in Bristol with my husband Si, our daughter Lib, son Ed, and a cuddly miniature schnauzer called Obi.

Being a Mum is the best thing that has ever happened to me. It's hard-work, and tiring, but it is so rewarding and has given me bags of confidence.

I started writing this blog in 2011 when I was scared and unsure and generally desperate for a lifeline from someone. You see I was pregnant, but also had MS. I was so worried about how it was going to affect me, and whether I'd be able to cope. I thought the act if writing down my worries would be cathartic for me, so that's why I decided to write everything down in the hope that it helps me, along with other people in the same situation as me. It has been a joy to write, following the ups and downs of everyday life with MS and children.

The kids are not so small anymore (9 and 6) but there are still trials and tribulations along with fun and frolics that I continue to document. So, read on, for advice, recipes and general tales of motherhood and MS.
