I got a great coffee table in a charity shop because a toddler must have been let loose with a few pens.
I put some elbow grease into it with some sandpaper, cleaned it up and it now looks great!
Gotta love kids 😉
Hi, My name is Susan and in 2010 I suddenly got very sick with vertigo and extreme fatigue. My life as I knew it changed forever. I had to leave my job as a junior Doctor to move back home with my family as I was unable to look after myself, let alone other people. It took a very long time, about 2644 doctors visits and ALL the tests to be told ‘congratulations, all your results are normal there is nothing wrong with you’, which was the most devastating news of all as there clearly WAS something horribly wrong, we just could not identify it.
Eventually, I was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease which was great news as I finally had a reason to feel so ill. That was until I realised that there is no real recognised treatment and I was once again left to trying to navigate debilitating symptoms alone. More doctors, more tests, protocol after debilitating protocol and plenty of ‘ah ha’ moments later I finally started to heal. It was quite the journey and I have learnt a lot about what treatments are out there, and perhaps more importantly, the body’s amazing capacity to heal. I am now in a position where I want to help others to reclaim their health.

Another accomplishment to add to the collection Sues. You should seriously start up an eBay shop! Xx
Agree with Emma! There is money to be made here!
Sweet job you have done there Miss Upcycle
Keep up the good work repairing/re-using/recycling is v much my thing as you know.
I do hope the move to your new place goes well and you have many happy days there.
Gwyn and I are still thinking of you and wishing we could come up with something – or some expert person – that lead finally to a breakthrough for you.
All our love
John and Gwyn
Hi, it’s so lovely to hear from you how are things? I’m glad you like my reviving old furniture it’s really fun. I think it’s good to have a project that doesn’t involve too much moving! I’m really enjoying having my own place, it’s much more hard work but it’s good for me to try and get some independence back and try and live a more normal life – well as far as this stupid illness allows! I really appreciate you thinking of me and all that you have done for me. You are always welcome for a cup of tea here – on my £30 charity shop kitchen table that I am currently doing up!
Love Sues
