Why I've been absent...

Hey peeps!!

So, it's been a while but I'm pretty sure you're used to waiting for my blogging posts by now?! What I had in mind to write to you here is slightly different to what I've actually decided to write although I'll keep certain parts as brief as I can so I'm able to focus back on the chosen subject. 

At the end of July, I received some very sad news. My lovely support worker, A, had passed away. This really shook me up and for quite awhile, I felt lost. It really saddened me and I miss her. Her daughter had given her a beautiful send off which is what A truly deserved,  and I think A will be very proud of her daughter. A is one of a kind and I will never find anyone like her again. She will be forever in all of our hearts (as she touched a lot of people's hearts with her kindness, generosity, warm heartedness and caring nature) so rest in peace A xxx

Over the past couple of weeks, I have found myself crafting again. I have so far made a sock monkey (which is inspired by A), a fabric wall storage hanger and a mini cushion. If you would like me to write a separate post about how I made my craft projects then please let me know. I have already had people enquiring about ordering a sock monkey and the mini cushion. :) yay! 

This time last Saturday, I met up with my fellow school friends for our school year reunion which was fantastic! It was so much fun I'm so glad that it wasn't just me that felt nervous beforehand. There was a nice, thoughtful touch made by B as she brought star shaped balloons with the names of those that are sadly no longer with us. It was a little weird seeing some as I have not seen them since 14 years ago but the rest I have seen in or around Barrow over time. Everyone was in great spirits and I could feel such positivity coming from all that were there. Personally, I can't wait to see them all again and hopefully there will be more that can attend next time. They may have been just my school friends, but I would like to think of them as my forever friends. If it wasn't for my lovely friend, E, I wouldn't have been able to go so thank you and it was great to hang out with you. 

On Thursday 27th, I travelled to Manchester to see Priscilla Queen of the Desert with Duncan James starring as Tick/Mitzi. It was a fun show with lots of colour, and crazy outfits! Duncan was amazing in it (as I knew he would be) as were the rest of the cast. I loved how they put the show together from the bus, to the 3 divas in the air and to changing from no make-up to full make-up back to no make-up. When I got back home, I couldn't believe how worn out I was! 

Anyway, I'm sorry if I've gone from one subject to another... Hopefully I will try to just stick to one subject in a future post to not confuse you. Thank you for reading and I will see you soon, sometime. xxx

Child Prodigy

Image
It was just the other day when I came across a documentary by Keith Allen filming James Harries who is now known as Lauren Harries. Does the name ring a bell to you? He was the 80s/90s child prodigy who claimed to know about Antiques. He had thick, curly blonde hair and always wore a dicky bow tie. I'll post a picture of him as a young boy, I'm sure you'll remember him when you see him. Back to the documentary. James is now Lauren after a sex reassignment operation. I actually think she still seems confused and delirious. In fact the whole family are living in a world of fantasy, delirious, disfunctional and delusion. All the way through I kept an open mind, in a way, I kind of felt sorry for them. All those years ago, Mark and Kate must have been really desperate to push their youngest son into the limelight forging a claim that he could do antiquing at such a tender age. I thought it was good that Lauren had counselling during the treatment but when i

Children with Gadgets

Hello everyone, I've been thinking back to a few weeks back when I was having a conversation with somebody. The topic was about kids having technical gadgets like games consoles, kindles, iPads and so on.  Going back to when I was a child, we didn't have all of these. Yes we had an Atari but that was for the whole family and I was in my teens by the time we got it. I had actual children's toys like Lego, Sindy dolls, and other toys. For the days that it rained or was too cold, I'd spend hours playing with these toys and I enjoyed arts. I'd do painting, making things and writing stories.  I liked to play out on the street with the other kids on the street. There were skipping ropes, pogo sticks and that ball with the rope toy etc. It was so much fun and meant we  learnt how to be creative, socialising and getting the exercise needed.  Another thing that kinda annoys me is when parents give their little kids kindles and iPads or even putting a DVD on fo

Dating and Disability

Hi peeps!! How are you doing? I hope you're all keeping well and that life is treating you with love and kindness.  As I've been watching ITV2's Love Island and have continually be surrounded by couples whether it's friends, family or even celebrities, it's really made me think about dating.  Everyone makes it seem so easy and I know it's not, but that's how it looks to me. I'm thirty-two and it's been way too long (much longer than I dare to admit here!) since I dated anyone. I feel it's definitely gotten harder for me. In the last four or five years, my health has deteriorated which means I no longer go out on nights out, I don't go to any clubs and there's rarely a chance for me to meet anyone. Although when I used to go out night-clubbing; meeting someone who was heavily intoxicated, really didn't do any favours and it wasn't my preferred way of meeting someone. A few friends have suggested trying out dating apps/site
