New hair


Hubby thinks I’ve gone mad. In August I finally dyed my hair pink after having the hair dye sat in my bathroom cupboard for all of lockdown. I hadn’t been able to get an appointment with the hairdresser before going on holiday so I did it myself but I had booked myself in for November so I would look decent for my birthday. The original plan was to have blonde highlights but I was quite enjoying having pink hair so thought I would have another colour put on, maybe blue or purple. But when I started googling coloured hair some pictures of rainbow hair came up and once I had seen them I decided that I had to do it. 

I popped into the hairdressers two days before my appointment to choose my colours and to get a proper telling off from the hairdresser for bleaching my own hair. Luckily my hair wasn’t too damaged so when I showed her the photo of the rainbow hair and asked her if she could do it she just rolled her eyes and told me to come in an hour earlier. 

This was my hair before:

Here are the 5 colours:

And here I am after they’ve been put

And the end result:

 
I bloody love it!! ❤️❤️ The four hours in the chair were absolutely worth it and I’m so glad I’ve done it. At the moment I’m relatively well, probably the most well I’ve been for years, so I just want to grab life with both hands and enjoy it. I’m sure some people will think I’m having a mid life crisis or some kind of reaction to turning 40 this week but it’s about doing things that up until recently I haven’t been able to do because I’ve been so bloody ill. Having rainbow hair makes me happy and I don’t care what people think (although I do keep forgetting that my hair is multi coloured and wonder why people are staring at me!) I’m off to get my lashes done on Wednesday and I’m shitting myself about that. I hate eyes and don’t like to have anyone touch them, look at them or me look at other peoples. Having an eye test is a bit of a trauma so having them tinted and lifted is going to put me massively outside my comfort zone but I’m prepared to give it a go in the name of looking pretty! Wish me luck!

It’s a full time job having a chronic health condition

Yesterday was a super busy day and today I’m knackered. I had 4 hospital appointments at 3 different hospitals and spent all day either sat in a waiting room or driving between hospitals!!  First off I had an appointment at 9am at the Treatment centre. This was to get my 3 monthly injection that puts me into menopause to control my endometriosis symptoms. Because it was so early I had to be organised the night before and make sure I was connected to my feed early. It runs for 12 hours and I have to factor in the time it takes to disconnect in the morning so I had to be hooked up by 7.30pm at the latest on Wednesday night.  After I had been jabbed in my bottom I went over to QMC hospital to see the specialist nurse on F22, the gastro ward. In January I had a new Hickman line inserted on the right side of my chest and where they removed the old line from the left side I had a wound that took ages to heal. For 6-8 weeks there was green gunk coming out what was basically a hole in...

Holiday from hell

My first week in Cornwall was amazing. Me, Hubby and the kids spent the week near Porthleven along with all Hubby’s family in a big house with its own pool and hot tub. The kids had a great time with their cousins, we celebrated Big Girl’s birthday, went to the beach, ate together, played games in the evening and just generally had a wonderful time. It was the holiday I had dared to dream about while I was in hospital amd I couldn’t believe I was well enough to enjoy it. No, I wasn’t able to eat and drink but that was a small price to pay to be making memories with my loved ones. At the end of the week we packed up the car and drove to St Ives where we had booked a fisherman’s cottage one minute from the beach with my parents. My sister and her husband would be staying nearby and Big Girl’s boyfriend and his family were also staying in St Ives at the same time. I’m good friends with his Mum so I was really looking forward to having a great second week with even more of my favourite peo...

Disability benefits cuts

So in Rachel Reeves spring statement earlier this week it was confirmed that there will be massive changes to the benefits system including the way that PIP is assessed and changes to the health element of Universal credit.  As someone who is receipt of both PIP and ESA disability benefits I find this whole situation…  🔲 terrifying  🔲 baffling  🔲 rage inducing  🔲 disgusting  🔲 [all of the above] I honestly cannot believe that a LABOUR government is looking to balance the books of the country by taking money from some of the poorest and most vulnerable in our society. This is the sort of thing I would have expected the Tories to do but when I voted Labour I honestly thought that not only would they look after and protect the neediest but they would actually make things in our society better and fairer. How wrong I was. Looks like I’m going to have to get some ‘Fuck Labour’ merch to go along with my ‘Fuck the Tories’ stuff I already own!  Now I do b...
