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…

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...
