Hospital Appointments {The Ordinary Moments}

January. What a month. And I don’t mean politically. For me January has been a month of hospital appointments. For three hours a week I am on a Pain Management Programme which has been interesting. I am now half way through and while I’m not altogether sure that I have actually learnt anything new, I have made at least one new friend, possibly a couple more. Having chronic pain and all that goes with it can be quite isolating. It… Continue Reading “Hospital Appointments {The Ordinary Moments}”

They were having so much fun and it really made me smile. So, I quickly grabbed… Continue Reading “Mucking Around {The Ordinary Moments ~ 17}”

Home Improvement Plans

For the best part of the last year, our bathroom has been a work in progress. The husband has almost singlehandedly tiled most of the bathroom and fitted a new sink and toilet. We have a shower gifted to us for Christmas 2015 that is still sitting in it’s box, waiting to be fitted. Then the husband will be able to finish off the tiling and lay some new flooring. Then, finally, the bathroom will be finished. I must admit I’m… Continue Reading “Home Improvement Plans”
