Hub - The Premier Inn





I had decided that I’d wanted to go away but didn’t know where. It was suggested to me to have a look at HUB in Edinburgh. I ended up choosing Rose St and I’m really glad that I did. For being so central ( one street over from Princes St ) it was so easy to access which meant not having to carry shopping bags about.

The Hub itself was clean and well presented. The staff were really helpful and couldn’t do enough to help. The room came with free WiFi, free movies and a free cheese plate if you bought a drink from the bar within the hotel.

This typography map of Edinburgh was above the bed. As someone who like creative things I liked this. It allowed someone new to the city to see the street names in the surrounding area.


 


The room itself was clean and well presented. It wasn’t a big room but didn’t feel small either. The 
splashes of colour worked well in the room and added to the way it felt. 


 
The duvet was wrapped up like this on the bed.










 The bathroom was just as you came in the door shut off by a door. It was well lit. It had a double shower head with a lot of access once you were into the shower. However I would say there isn’t a decent access to get into the shower. The door only goes so far. The one downside of being in a small over all room. Something had to give.
This is the control panel that was at both sides of the bed. So self explanatory that even kids to the room could manage to work out how to use it.








Good amount of  hanging storage available as well as under the bed storage and a unit under the desk as well. The room also came with the hairdryer.












 

This was also free in the room and gave Alice in Wonderland vibes of  “ drink me “  I was expecting the mad hatter to appear and tell me I was late for a very important date. 



Overall I do think that the place was worth the money and I will be using again.

Self care during the good and bad days

So something I've learnt over the last 6 1/2 years since being diagnosed and the death of my husband that self care really helps during the good and bad times. Over this time I have tried many things and found what does and doesn't work for me.  https://www.thebodyshop.com/en-gb/range/view-all/tea-tree-skin-clearing-facial-wash/p/p000039 This stuff has been great for my skin. I got the 400ml bottle and my goodness it is worth the money as you really don't need a lot. And then smell for me is a really calming smell which also helps.  http://uk.loccitane.com/shea-butter-hand-cream--travel-size-,83,1,29776,1030671.htm   I've tried a lot of different hand creams previously and was recommended to try them from here. To say I was impressed was an understatement. It covers so well. You really don't need a lot and it really works on dry hands.  It may seem a bit pricy to some but i think it's worth it for the way it left my hands feeling.  Carmex lip

Not in the best head space.

So turns out I’ve been battling a mental health episode for at least a three months if not longer and I haven’t been aware. Before anyone questions why I didn’t know what was happening it’s because I typically don’t see what’s happening until I’m at a point that someone goes “WE NEED YOU TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE” It builds up slowly and manifests to a point that I’m really in a negative head space. I’ve learnt this time and the hard way that everything that I thought was happening wasn’t. It was my anxiety and grief having a fight off and I was the looser. Not to forget the ruminations of things that might happen or I might do ( some of those thoughts are hard ) Insomnia Panic that I’m seeing things out corner of my eye that aren’t there Negative thoughts - not good enough etc  Real bouts of sadness Not really wanting to eat - snacking  Racing heart Believing things are wrong with me when they aren’t  Those are only a few of the things that I have been dealing with that I am aw

If this week has taught me anything

If this week has taught me anything it’s that the grief monster can hit at any time and totally floor you. That three years feel like just yesterday. And that there is people around to give a hug when needed. So last night in the midst of volunteering it hit me like a ton of bricks. The tears started and it took me a long time to proper calm myself. I’d manage to tell the coach right at the start of the night that i was struggling and that it had been a hard week. That it felt like just yesterday that he’d died and not nearly three years. I’m lucky with the fact that the coach I work with also was my husbands coach so that in itself is a help. I’d managed one class and was more than half way through the second when a shot I threw was called rubbish and one look to the other lady that coaches with me and I was a mess. If I hadn’t of already been sitting on the floor I think I might of ended up there. Luckily for me she also knows my history and shouted on the main coach who got to me
