About Me

My photo
I'll be 55 this August... I've had bronchiectasis for ten years plus this year... End stage lung disease for the past year...been on oxygen for three years... and have I got used to it yet?... nah! I am now waiting for the biggie; a double lung and maybe a heart transplant. I love my life weirdly enough, because I have some wonderful family and friends who are with me every step of the way on my adventures, even though I embarrass them on a daily basis with my unorthodox way of looking at life. Not for the faint hearted!

Sticky back plastic

Have you ever had an itch that you just have to keep scratching?

Well I have a verruca that I just can't stop trying to get rid of. I've tried going to a chiropodist and having expensive freezer treatment on it over and over again, only to end up after nearly a year worth of treatment, getting another two and keeping the original for my sins.
So I've tried the more unorthodox methods of covering them with gaffer tape... got a sweaty foot... banana skins... got a slimy and slippery foot to drastic measures of shaving them down with a little scalpel, but still not gone. So back to basics and verruca pads yet again.

This time I stuck at it for ages and ended up with these little spongy things growing from my foot, so out came the scalpel again. Was a tad too zealous and hell do feet bleed a lot. Managed to stop the bleeding with plasters on top of plasters, but when I tried to walk on it the next morning, boy did it hurt. It bled again profusely, but I had ran out of plasters by now.

Ann my scout leader friend would have been really impressed with me and I think I would have earned myself a handy craft badge, as I went to work with a bounce in my step... How?

Take one party liner cut in half and place on top of each other. Add some parcel tape and viola... A Blue Peter inner sole with added fresh fragrance!

My son gave me that look again for some reason... can't think why!?

Lots of Love Debbie x
