It’s amazing how it happens, but chances are as soon as Richie goes out I will need him, to help me.

Just now as the door had clicked shut behind Richie, I had a nasty twinge of pain in my guts; I think it’s the first sign of a bowel movement.

Richie is back now and is getting the equipment into the bedroom so I can be hoisted out of bed.

We were on time getting me out of the bed; I had a huge bowel movement all over the bathroom floor.

It was a huge relief for me, once it happened, shame it didn’t happen right over the toilet, great it did not happen in my bed.

A huge relief for me now, after a lovely hot shower and clean clothes I feel so much better now.

I am enjoying wearing more of a variety of clothes, Anja; a good friend altered a big bag full of clothes.

This has made a huge difference to my life and how I feel about what I am wearing.

I also bought myself 4 new gorgeous perfumes: Rive Gauche by Yves Saint Laurent, Woman by Versace, Magnetism by Escada and Little Darling by Kylie Minogue I am enjoying wearing a different perfume everyday.

Really enjoying looking and smelling like me again, amazing the positive effects of adapting my clothes and the perfumes have on me.

A Very Cold January Friday..

We both really enjoyed the central heating working again yesterday and our lovely hot showers that we had.

I thoroughly enjoyed every moment and the warm towels, when Richie had fished showering me.

Really gorgeous to be dried off with warm towels, it just makes it so especially nice, an enjoyable experience.

Certainly made up for the discomfort of the day before when the heating suddenly was not] working, that was a huge shock for us both.

Glad the heating engineer came here as quickly as he did so yesterday as the weather was getting noticeably colder.

Today it is even colder as it was last night too, bloody freezing which was why it was such a bright sunny day, today is not so bright but Richie says that it is freezing cold outside.

Got woken up just before 8 this morning by someone from Welzorg trying to organise picking up my wheelchair.

The new steering mechanism has to be fitted into the middle of the Perspex work surface that fits over my electric wheelchair.

I am looking forward to this being done next week Tuesday/Wednesday, which can not happen quickly enough for me now.

Another Dramatic Night.

We had another dramatic evening and night last night, Richie had put the heating on before taking me into the shower room for a much needed shower.

Something was not quite right so he left me wrapped in a warm towel while he went to investigate what was happening.

It turned out to be the heating which was not working, so there was no heating and no warm water, it was quite an unpleasant surprise.

Richie washed me using a kettle  of hot water, it worked out alright but was nothing like as nice a a lovely hot shower.

Once in the fromt room, at 19.15 I called our landlordo’s emergency telephone number, they said a central heating engineer would call us and come out to mend our boiler.

At 21.40 and 22.40 I was told the same thing each time again with no result, we were still sitting in the cold.

Finally at 23.40 a call center operative told us that no one would be out that night, in fact they only came out if it were under freezing  or there was a flood.

Glad we finally got the truth and we could go to bed shame the three others had not been equally truthful.

Today I finally could speak to the heatiing engineers  call center at 11 this morning and heard someone woujld be here between 12  and 18, I asked for someone as soon as possible.

They said they were very busy and could not promise anything, and someone arrived at 11.45 and by 12 we were warm again.

I called them back to thank them for their quick response and good care and I was thanked profusely, apparently no one ever calls them back to thank them, I am so glad I did.
