If you’ve been following my blog for a while now, you will know that I LOVE to push the boundaries by trying new and exciting things. So when the guys at Permobil recently reached out and asked whether I’d like to trial one of their powerchairs for a week, obviously I said YES! However, this…

Dear Diary, Apologies for it being a whole month since my last update. Life has been surprisingly busy lately! How are we all doing? I’ve been reading my horoscope a lot recently, which I’ve actually found quite therapeutic. The following quote is one that has particularly stuck with me: “Sometimes not taking a risk is…

In the words of Anne-Marie… “It’s my birthday! I’ma do what I like, I’ma eat what I like, I’ma kiss who I like” Except maybe that last part, because ya know… Corona. For obvious reasons, 2020 is a year that none of us will ever forget. Last week marked my 27th birthday – so in…

Despite documenting many aspects of my life online, you may have noticed that I never really talk about my love life on here… And to be honest, one of the main reasons for that is because it doesn’t exist. Don’t get me wrong I’m not a nun, but dating with a disability is HARD. Excuse…

Dear Diary, Remember the days when Corona was just a beer? We’ve officially passed the 100 day mark! (woohoo) I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry, but hey, I’m still here! Tuesday 16th June In my previous post, you will have seen that I made a start on re-painting my garden gnomes. Since then,…

They say that a photograph is the pause button of life – a moment that captures a memory for you to look back on in years to come. Well my friends, today’s the day that I well and truly take a trip down memory lane. I read a quote recently that said something along the…

Dear diary, I’ve recently discovered Yorkie biscuit & raisin bars, and now my life will never be the same. Monday 11th May This week started off with some great news. I had a surprise *socially-distanced* visit from my friend Cheese, who announced her pregnancy by whipping out her baby scan photo on my driveway! It…

I’ve sat here for hours now – staring at a blank screen – trying to think of ways to re-word the same sentence, but it never gets any easier. This week we sadly said goodbye to Barney, our beloved border terrier. Just look at that face. What a beaut. Over the past few years, writing…

Dear diary, I’m starting to think I should rename my blog “A Life in Lockdown” – because 2020 has been a complete write-off so far! This post contains a fair bit of baking… and when I say baking, I mean watching my mum do all the hard work whilst I sit and eat the scraps.…
