Ugly furniture and hubba hubba.

I’ve had a kick up the arse lately about my blog. I was told it helps a lot of people all over the world and I was dead chuffed about that! But it won’t help anyone if I don’t write it......so here goes.....

I used to take a lot of joy from decorating, and stripping furniture and repainting it. Some pieces have already been passed on, like the tiny cupboard that was painted a hideous royal blue, thankfully on the inside, and a big beautiful unit that still is in use in my dining room. It was painted white with a fablon coating on the top, and it smelt smelt of tomato plants. Well, it doesn’t smell anymore, and
it houses my cds and tins of beans. S’cuse me, I just had a mini break for a choc ice. Back to the furniture chat, I also had a cast iron double bed, that I stripped and painted. I sadly don’t have that anymore, or any double bed, beautiful or otherwise. I now have a single bed,that is called a profiling bed. And it is really ugly. Really ugly. But sadly needed by the carers. I can adjust the height therefore protecting their backs. No worries about protecting my eyes from the hideous eyesore......

Granted, the bed is good, but I NEED a double. I miss my husband, his touch, spontaneous hubba hubba on tap and even his snoring.

So I’m off to search for a double. There must be one out there! I will find it!!

Well, hello! Long time, no speak! So what have you been up to? Enjoying the very un British SUN? Don’t worry. I’m sure the rain will be back soon, to remind you, that yes, you do live in England. As for me, my clumsy ways continue......

Step one......I drive in the wheelchair into the wardrobe and pretty severely smack my big toe. I swear A LOT!!

Step two......Not wishing to leave the job half done, I drive into a kitchen cupboard. Toe nail has had enough of me and my rough ways, and decides enough is enough, and decides to leave. Lucy hears commotion, and finds me sitting with my foot in a pool of blood. I’ve only gone and ripped the bloody nail off. *

So yeah, I am currently sporting my toe all dressed up in white like an East 17 band member, it wasn’t a good look for Brian et al and it’s not for THE TOE either. It might improve with my Havaianas with a bit of sparkle on them.......

Anything else to report? Yeah plenty, but a girls got to have some secrets, y’know?😂
