Get well gifts, new pillows and lovely lashes

Wow...Happy December everyone! How on earth did that happen so soon?! I feel like I've lost the last two weeks of my life in a complete and utter haze, so it is really good to be getting back to normal (albeit with a still slightly strange heartbeat!).

Your kind comments on my last post were a truly heartwarming (no pun intended...) read, thank you all so so much for your kindness. Whilst some fantastic friends came round with piles of DVD's I've been completely unable to focus on anything other than a great big bed and piles of blankets.

Whilst I was home the postman brought me a fabulously squishy parcel - my brand new memory foam pillows (these, if anyone's interested!) from Bedstar. After my 'sleeping in a cloud' experience back in September, I've been a little bit obsessed with a bed filled with fluffy, bouncy pillows and big, thick duvets. When these arrived I was a little bit disappointed by how lumpy and heavy they felt (nothing cloud-like about them!), and the rubber smell was pretty overwhelming. But oh my word they are good! They don't feel too firm to be comfortable yet they support my head and neck so well, and the foam almost moulds itself around me. After the first night the smell had all but disappeared and of my two pillows (the other is a lighter, siliconised clusterfibre filling) this is now my pillow of choice! I'm hoping for the price they will last a good long time...my last pillows were cheap and cheerful and I can definitely feel the quality difference.


Wow...who knew I could get so excited about a pillow! In my defense the last two weeks of my life have been pretty much centered around them!! My other favourite things have been the utter loveliness of my wonderful friends. My friend Emma bought me the most beautiful flowers and even arranged them in a vase for me - how talented is this lady?! If only I could find a man with such generosity and taste, lol!


I also received some very cheerful roses from a friend & colleague which I placed by my bed to cheer me up.


But my favourite of all 'get well' gift has to be the picture my friend posted to me all the way from Scotland. If you ever wondered what I look like...well here I am! The creature with the lovely lashes is, of course, my Cassie-cat and the sparkly blonde with the balloons and a slightly drunken gait is yours truly. My friend's little lady drew it especially to cheer me up and do you know what....it worked a treat!
