Dinky's Rambles!!

Hey peeps! 

So, I thought I'd give you a little update on what's happening in my life lately as I sit here watching 21 Jump Street. Yes the movie with Channing Tatum in it! I remember when I went to see this at the cinema with a friend, and she was laughing so much at it. It does have its funny moments. 
How have you been then peeps? I've been okay, trying to stay positive which hasn't been so easy if I'm honest. The osteoarthritis in my shoulder has been giving me grief with pains all over it even in my arm. One day when I got up out of bed, I couldn't move my arm at all and had to make do with just moving the lower part from below the elbow. Although thumbs up for managing to do my makeup even if it was just the basics. 👍🏻
Starting a month ago when my cousin took me to see Adam Lambert in Manchester and I was very lucky that I got to meet him which was amazing!! He looked so handsome and he was sweet. He loved my tshirt. We were told to handover any gifts but no one took mine off me which I was glad about. That was one of my wishes come true! Another wish was that he knelt down to the same eye level and my third wish: he smiled his beautiful smile at me. 😍 The show was incredible from the bits that I saw and could hear. The venue is awful for disabled people! Very disappointing to be honest. If you follow me on my social media then you will have seen the photos from my view. Not one person was happy on the disabled balcony which is a shame. As I had VIP which gave me priority seating on the front row (was even given a a number wrist band for it so talk about having the excitement taken away!)  I definitely didn't get my full VIP PACKAGE! Anyway, my VIP photo is awesome, I LOVE IT SO SO MUCH ❤️
I've been seeing my niece every now and then. Cannot believe she is almost 13 weeks old ALREADY?! She's started to smile and laugh at me which is just adorable. Family means the world to me. 
My Facebook DinkyktsEDSDiaries page is doing really well at the moment which makes me feel proud. Particularly as its EDS AWARENESS MONTH. 
I've been worrying quite a bit lately as I had to claim for the new PIP (replacing DLA) and had to have an assessment, thankfully the assessor came to my house. Luckily he was nice and understanding. I could tell that he felt bad that I had to have an assessment with all of my health issues. Anyway he gave me the highest points and I received my letter back from them saying I will be receiving the highest in both components. So relieved! When you are given a benefit that is indefinite then they should just waiver you over to the new replacement as I was given it for a pretty good reason. It's like all the specialists doctors, medic professionals have no power as they have their own people who aren't all medically trained. It's so wrong and so stressful. People with disabilities have it hard enough without the government making it even harder! Now I've had to do another claim which is for something I already receive so I'm just waiting to hear back off them. 
This month I'm trying hard to upload my videos for my YouTube channel, it's not been easy with my shoulder but I WILL get them done. ☺️ Hopefully I will have some fun things for you to look forward to 🙏🏻  
Please keep sharing my Feb page with your loved ones to help raise awareness 👍🏻😘 I shall talk to you soon 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
