Good Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night!

Hello all. I finished work yesterday then went home, packed a bag and headed to the train station to "move house". I got to my new hospital around half ten last night, then had a 40 minute wait to find anyone from security to get my key to the hospital accomodation. Finally got into my room around half eleven and just felt like bursting into tears. I do have a sink (though it's partly blocked) and a window ledge (very narrow, but I could maybe fit some small pots on there), but otherwise it is pretty grim. Furniture that I suspect was bought cheap in the 1960s, dirty carpet, exposed pipes, unplastered painted brickwork and just two plug sockets make up my room. It's ground floor, so doesn't feel particularly safe. The accommodation is broken up into flats of three people. The shared shower has mould all over the ceiling. I have no intention of setting foot in the shared kitchen, except to use the washing machine, because it is disgusting. There's no fridge in the kitchen, and there's no sink in the toilet. And worst of all, one of the other occupants of the flat has repeatedly been singing at the top of her voice (including at 7:15am this morning). There's also no dedicated WiFi (just the hospital guest WiFi) and I don't get a mobile signal here. I also haven't come across anything to suggest I can have post delivered here - no pigeonholes or anything like that.

I will have to try and make the best of it, but it's going to take a while to come to terms with it.

I have also just realised that someone has been in my room while I've been in work. There was a missing drawer knob with a sharp exposed screw when I went out this morning, and now the knob is in place. If I have to live here, I want my privacy and I absolutely will not be able to stand anyone coming in without my express permission.

I am curating a list of things that might make this room a little better so that I can decide what to bring back with me after my trip back to Grimsby. However, a lot of things I was planning to bring will have to go into storage instead as there's just nowhere for them here.

So, if anyone has any suggestions for plants I can grow in pots with a very small footprint, I would be grateful. I will need to find a very narrow tray to put them on too.
