Coat Rack

Another in our home decor range that is proving very popular at this time of year. Apparently Belgian shabby chic is the next big thing and many customers asked us about the style. We heard it was a mixture of rustic feel and simplicity, and this wooden coat rack is the perfect item for the trendy style. It comes with 3 drawers – perfect for the entrance hall.

Happy New Year and JasmineWay’s Experience with Swine Flu

Hello everyone,

Hope you are still enjoying the festive season! Just wanted to wish you a very happy new year. Isn’t it really hard to keep your house tidy at this time of the year? With various visitors asking to be fed, sadly the decor of our home will be the last thing we want to think about. Our living room is a full of things ranging from Christmas tree (of course), baskets with various biscuits and fruits, cat toys on the floor (!) etc. Does your home look the same?

I have been a bit lazy and didn’t blog much lately, but there was a reason for it. I came down with double pneumonia and swine flu in early November last year, and spent nearly 2 weeks in the hospital. It happened so quickly – it seems to have started with a Sunday dinner with my sister’s family and that was it. My little niece was coughing suffering from flu like symptoms at the time. Two days later I started to develop high fever and it went on and on. I was almost unconscious for about a week with high fever, but unfortunately it was very difficult to seek medical assistance because of the panic associated with this national pandemic scheme. You need to call a helpline, but you are just told to rest. Then it doesn’t improve and you call them again to be told exactly the same thing. It was absolutely a nightmare! I was whisked away to A&E twice, but still I was sent home (first time without any treatment whatsoever and second time with antibiotics for pneumonia). But third time lucky I was finally admitted to St. Georges’ Hospital in South London. Once I was admitted an intensive antibiotics treatment started straight away. But still it took more than 10 days for my pneumonia to clear. Because along the way I caught swine flu as well (doctors didn’t know which one came first, pneumonia or swine flu), I was in a very serious condition. But I can tell you, I highly praise NHS services at St. Georges’ Hospital. They were very efficient and everybody is extremely caring. I can’t thank them enough for what they have done for me.

One thing I’d like to let everybody know is to “get a swine flue jab” as soon as possible. I know many people are concerned about side effect etc., but you need to remember, once you became one of these seriously ill patients, mortality rate is 50%!  I can believe this from my own experience. So please everyone – get vaccinated! One simple jab may save your life and your loved ones’.
