Trafford Center!!

4th December 2013- Went to the Trafford Center today to meet up with Rach and Dani!! It's a really big thing for me because it's the longest I've been out for in three years and I actually managed really well and had such a lovely time!! I can't wait to start doing more things like this now!!

Love my Friends!

Christmas Crafts

3rd December 2013- I got asked to go into my old primary school to help out with an art glass for year 5's. It was really really good to be able to do something I enjoy but actually do it with other people too and see how happy they got from making them! Also a big achievement because a few months ago there was no way I could manage to go into a classroom with loads of children and stand/sit up for that long!

 I loved it!! 

We made these ^ I forgot to take a picture of the actual ones we made!

Christmas Lights

30th November 2013- Last year I went to the Oxton Christmas Light switch on in my wheelchair as I just couldn't walk round and stand up for long enough. However this year I walked!!! Which was so good because I could just go around with my sister and do things for myself instead of waiting to get pushed and getting in peoples way!

Things are definitely looking up

Santa's new best friend!

29th November 2013- i made friends with Santa today!! I was the fairy in 'Santa's Grotto' at my little sisters school, it's a really big achievement for me because the last couple of years I've been at the fair but had my own stall as I could sit down for the whole time. But this time I actually stood up a lot and did generally a lot more! I had a great time and hopefully will be doing it again next year!!

Start of Christmas!!

The Wickedest blog post yet..

11th November 2013- ahhhhhhhhhhhh wicked wicked wicked!!! What a wonderful day! Went to Manchester to meet Kate, Dani and Rach for some dinner and then we went to see Wicked at the Palace Theater. It was so amazing, I think it's the first time I've been able to travel a long journey and do something really big in the same day so I'm really happy about that!! The show was amazing and the company even better! Can't wait to do it again in the near future..

Just keeps getting better

Pottering..

6th November 2013- Today was my last pottery lesson! I got through an eight week course, learned so much a long the way and produced some pretty good things! Really proud of myself because it's the first time I've been in a classroom environment since I had to leave school (2011) and I'm so so proud of what I made!! Pottery is quite a lot harder than I thought originally but I love it so much and am doing another course in January!

I am officially a potter.. look at my pots!!

Driving again!!

17th October 2013- I had my first driving lesson today!! It wasn't officially my first lesson because I had had two lessons in December last year when I thought I was well enough to drive, unfortunately my health dipped but I now feel like I'm on a really stable level and well enough to commit to it fully this time! So it was basically like a first lesson because I had forgotten pretty much everything I learned in December, but it went really well and I can't wait for my next lesson next week!!  

I love driving a car!!!
