I’ve fallen in love ❤️



Right, I’ve fallen head over heels in love…

❤️❤️❤️❤️

…with my new dungarees. 

I’m pretty sure that wasn’t what you were expecting but there you have it. It’s true, I love them and I don’t care what anyone thinks. 

Months ago I was looking for dungarees on eBay, as you do, when I came across Lucy & Yak dungarees which led me down a browsing rabbit hole where I found Run and Fly ones too. I had been wanting some dungarees for ages but didn’t know what size I would be and didn’t want to buy stuff off eBay that might not fit so I left it there. Then when I was in St Ives in the summer I was really excited to find a small independent clothes shop that stocked Run and Fly so I planned to go in during the week to try them on (and treat myself cause holiday purchases don’t count, right?) but we all know how my week in Cornwall ended up. And if you don’t, then you need to read this blog post.

So when my birthday came round in November I added them to my wish list. Hubby refused to buy the beautiful R&F dinosaur print ones I had had my eye on but I was lucky enough to get a pair of L&Y cord ones. 



But I had lost quite a bit of weight from being poorly in Cornwall so the size he bought was too big. I had to send them back and exchange them for a smaller size and by the time they arrived I was back in hospital again. So it was Boxing day before I actually got round to wearing them. 

I was a bit worried that I would have trouble getting them undone when I went to the loo cause when I’ve got to go, I’ve got to go NOW! But instead of faffing around tying and untying them every time I just left them a bit looser and shrugged them off- problem solved. What I love about dungarees is that it’s like wearing jeans but with no waist band pressing against my belly and making it hurt. So I started looking again on eBay and places like Facebook market place for them cause buying L&Y brand new is pretty expensive. I found a pink pair and I love wearing them with my DM’s.

So now I’ve bought myself a pair that are blue with pink spots, a green pair and some denim ones. I can’t wait for them arrive! They’ll go perfectly with my latest accessory for my Docs from Amabilis…

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...

Dexa Scan

The highlight of my day, possibly my week, was leaving the hospital this morning for an appointment at the Treatment Centre, all of a few hundred metres away! I was diagnosed with endometriosis last year after a scan on my bowels picked up an ovarian cyst. For those who don’t know what endometriosis is it’s where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows in places it shouldn’t. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/endometriosis/ I didn’t realise I had it because any pain below the waist I always attribute to my bowel problems. The gynaecology consultant said that they would normally carry out a laparoscopy (keyhole surgery) to formally diagnose and see the extent of the endometriosis but because of all my previous bowel surgeries this wasn’t an option. So the decision was made to give me Decaceptyl injections to put me into an early menopause. Doing this stops the womb lining from growing and from contracting when you have a period and therefore helps to reduce the pain. I have the injec...
