Potteryyy!

25th September 2013- I've joined a pottery course!! It's really amazing and a huge achievement for me! I haven't been in a classroom being taught by someone since I had to leave school in 2011 so to just be able to be sitting upright for two hours and to take everything in and actually do things is a really great thing for me. And to just be in the right mindset to be able to go to a course, learn things on the spot and also really enjoy what I'm doing is a really big step!

I now am completely in love with pottery!!

I want to ride my bicycle...

23rd September 2013-  I'm actually doing a blog post on the day I've done the achievement which is an achievement in itself!! But anyway today I rode my bike and it was amazing!!! I just felt like I had so much freedom and could just ride anywhere I wanted. Going to try and build it up every week and hopefully will ride further and further!

Wearing a cool helmet like a pro!

I love walking so much!!

Double post because it's both about walking!

5th September 2013- Went too John lewis in Liverpool and for the first time in years I actually walked round! Didn't walk round the whole shop just around the parts that I wanted to look but it felt so good to be able to just look around and walk where ever I wanted too!!

And bought a cool rug! 

6th September 2013- For the first time since we've been in our new house I walked round to the corner shop! It may not seem like a big thing to a lot of people, but for me it's that little bit of extra independance. I can now walk round to the shop and chemist without any one coming with me or in my wheelchair! 

Freedom!!!

Soph the builder...

3rd September 2013- I managed to build my new chest of drawers for my room!! Did get help from my mum but I built all of the actual drawers by myself!! Really happy because I managed to do something myself for my room without everyone having to do it for me!

Ikea furniture is NOT easy!!

Wedding!!

29th August 2012- Today was my Dad and Step Mums wedding!! It's a huge achievement for me because I was able to go to the wedding, that in itself was a big thing. But then I was able to enjoy it too, spend most of the time with everyone except for a few rests and walked everywhere in the hotel so didn't use my wheelchair at all!! It was one of the most amazing days I've had in a while and was just so nice to be with my family again!

I want to live in the Grosvenor!! 

Me with my crazy dad and uncle!!
