Not quite what you’re thinking… Contrary to popular opinion, having a condition like Multiple Sclerosis is SO much more than just being in a wheelchair or walking with a cane. I’ll give you a little snippet of my daily life (don’t worry, I won’t drone on): For me those are just a few of my…

A week or so ago I was horrified to actually HEAR a beetle fall onto the floor, it was THAT big. Now, I know the UK is very tame when it comes to our insects, very few bite and none of them can kill you so yes, I’m just a wimp. But seriously, this thing…

Yet another first this past week, jeez I can barely cope with all the excitement. First though, a little background… We live in a new build house, built in 2022, which means it was subject to specific building regulations that stipulate certain things to allow accessibility for wheelchair users.

In this day and age you are quite entitled to identify as whatever you want, if social media has taught us anything, it’s taught us that. However, I identify as a woman, a female, as was assigned to me at birth. When we first moved to our house in a new area, I had to…

It’s no secret among those who know me, have ever met me, hell if they’ve even glanced across one of my social media profiles that I am a big dog lover. Bar one excruciating year when me and the Hubster first moved in together there hasn’t been a single time in my life when I…

So for those of you who have visited my page before, you’re probably aware I spend a reasonable amount of time on the floor. So much so that I’ve actually seriously considered making small snack bags to place around the house in case I get stuck there for any amount of time. I decided against…
