My medical problems and their investigation and treatment
Today I had my PIP assessment. PIP and DLA PIP is Personal Independence Payment, the new disability benefit that is being rolled out in the UK to replace the old DLA (Disability Living Allowance). These benefits are to enable chronically sick and disabled people to meet the extra needs they have and to…
What's On my Workdesk this Wednesday? Same as last week - a mess. Also, like last week, my creativity has been away from the studio, in the kitchen and on my lap in the sitting room working on Phase 2 of my Eco Project. Eco Project Phase 2: Make-Up Remover Pads I have…
Today we went up onto Dartmoor for a picnic. It was a beautiful day, and I was anxious to try my new Trekinetic wheelchair on this different terrain. It has been so many years since I have been up on the moors and actually got off the road, so this was a real…
What's On my Workdesk this Wednesday? Nothing new, I'm afraid. Still working on my eco project, so the sewing machine has been in use in the studio this week, and I've been doing some hand-sewing while watching TV etc. I am waiting for a couple of things to arrive from Ebay which should…
Another nice grocery delivery this morning, nearly all of which was fruit and veg. Once I had unpacked it all (too much plastic! Is it really necessary to cling-wrap a head of broccoli?? - bag of wrappings on far right), it looked as if I was about to celebrate Harvest Festival in my…
WOYWW What's On My Workdesk this Wednesday? Not a great deal - just my Cuttlebug and some dies, to cut some pantry labels. Labels for the Pantry Some time ago I made printed labels on the computer for my glass jars in the pantry. I really like these, and need to print off…
WOYWW What's On My Workdesk Wednesday isn't much, but slight progress on last week! Here are my teabag stains on watercolour now that they are dry. They are ready for doodling on, or otherwise embellishing. In the meantime I've been working on my little eco project, and I'll blog about that once it's…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? For once, there is actually some activity going on in my studio this week! I have been following a wonderful watercolour artist called CeeCee on Youtube recently, because I was attracted by her brilliant watercolour doodles. This was definitely something I wanted to try and I thought…
No further progress on the slippers this week, I'm afraid. It's been another busy week. On Saturday we went to the fete at the village where we used to live. We try to go every year. It's always a fun afternoon out, and also an opportunity to meet up with old friends again.…
Better late than never for WOYWW! I've had a very busy couple of days. Slippers I've managed to do a few more stitches on my slippers this week. Not a lot, but progress of a sort! Brilliant news Last week I had a surprise phone call to say that my new wheelchair would…
