Dyslexic Adults: GET INVOLVED!
Dyslexic Adults: GET INVOLVED!
I mentioned in my previous blog about a dyslexia group that I am a member of on Facebook called Dyslexia Help and Support UK. I’m a huge advocate for the group because I have found them to be very friendly, very helpful and very supportive especially (but not exclusively) towards parents in the UK with dyslexic kids.

Hello Again
Well it’s been almost a year since I last posted a blog on here. I needed a little bit of a time out to think about what I wanted to blog about and how to move forward in a positive way.
#DDChat on Twitter, which I host, has been my main focus the last year or so. It’s become a great little community now with lots of friendly and familiar Tweeters. We’ve a real variety of people that I am so…

The Imagination of the Child: Response to Graeme Whiting
The Imagination of the Child: Response to Graeme Whiting
This blog post is a response to The Imagination of the Child written by Graeme Whiting, headmaster of The Acorn School.
Dear Graeme Whiting,
I read your blog post advising against children reading books such as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Terry Pratchett. I really wanted to share my feedback with you and others who read my own blog.
About 15 years ago now, when I was in high school, I was…

#blogging4charity - Final Month
#blogging4charity – Final Month
I have been trying to raise money this year for British Dyslexia Association on JustGiving. I started on 28th of February 2015 so I have just over a month to go until I switch to a new charity for 2016.
I set a very high target which I have no way in hell of reaching now. My month of #blogging4charity really didn’t go as well as I had hoped. However, I have raised £186.00 to date and would really…

Re: Remembering Norwich
In June last year, I wrote a blog called Remembering Norwich. I was discussing my memory and how I couldn’t remember a family holiday to visit my aunt and uncle living in Norwich. I hadn’t dared to bring the topic back up again with my family because I had been snapped at by a couple of family members for saying I couldn’t remember being there, which they insisted I was.

"Don't Steal the Tiramisu"
“Don’t Steal the Tiramisu”
It was a tough end to 2016 for me. On Christmas Day my dad called to tell me that my gran had a fall at home and was in hospital. It was her second Christmas in a row spending time in hospital. It hadn’t come as too much of a shock as her health hadn’t been the best in the last two years. What did come as a shock was firstly the amount of concern in my dad’s voice which made me think there was…

Cumbria Flood Appeal
Howdy folks,
I don’t normally write blogs like this. I have been sat watching the news this evening at the absolute devastation caused by the flooding in Cumbria, England. I know there are other areas of the UK who have been affected by Storm Desmond, but Cumbria have been hit really bad.
I can’t imagine how heartbreaking it must be to have your home ruined by flood water. Many of the home owners…

Facts Are Just as Inspiring and Magical!
Facts Are Just as Inspiring and Magical!
Yes folks, it’s that time of year again where we are waiting for Santa Claus to come and visit us on Christmas Eve. We’re all making sure we’re behaving because he knows who’s been naughty and nice so got to get all the nice balanced out with the naughty from the whole year. It’s an exciting time of year, especially for the children in our lives! But I’ve been noticing some fibs being circulated…

Irritability and Head in the Sand
Irritability and Head in the Sand
Sometimes I don’t realise just how overwhelmed I am. I think my lack of structure is starting to get me down and making me feel very uncomfortable in myself.
I woke up this morning to a whole load of requests from people to support other people’s projects, write blogs for other folks, do some volunteer work and go to a gig. I haven’t responded to any because it has all been sent to me in quick…

#DDChat - Weekly Twitter Chat [Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia]
#DDChat – Weekly Twitter Chat [Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia]
What is #DDChat?
For almost a year now, I have been hosting a chat on Twitter called #DDChat. It started off as a monthly thing and only discussing dyslexia, but over the months it has developed and become a weekly event where we discuss dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia and dysgraphia. It’s a very friendly worldwide community of neurodiverse people, experts and support groups. (more…)

Me Time
The last few weeks have been very crazy. My hours at work have been upped to full time, I’ve been bridesmaid dress shopping, I was at a gig, my partner got a new job, I’ve been sick and it was my partner’s birthday. It’s been so hectic I have barely had a chance to take a breath! Unfortunately it has meant that my blog has suffered. (more…)

#DAW15 – My Dyslexic Blog
Very sorry I missed a day due to a severe headache, sickness and being sent home from work yesterday.
My Dyslexic Blog is one of the first blogs about dyslexia and dyspraxia that I read. It still remains one of my firm favourites as each blog has so much information in it.

Neurodiversity and Me: Imposter Syndrome
Neurodiversity and Me: Imposter Syndrome
I had never heard of ‘Imposter Syndrome’ until yesterday when a good friend of mine shared this video from YouTube that they had seen. My friend is someone who I have the utmost respect for, so when they post things up I always try to take a look at them, especially when it’s things I haven’t heard of before. As soon as I started watching this, I realised just how important it was not only for…

Dyspraxia and Me: These Boots Were Made For Walking…
One thing I really hate is shopping for new shoes! I have awkward sized feet, I’m a UK 5 1/2 and my feet are wide. Finding shoes that I like that fit me has always been a struggle. Not only is it hard to find shoes in my size that I like, but they have to be flat shoes. I can’t walk in heels. Every time I’ve tried walking even in tiny heels, I’ve ended up falling over or twisting my ankle.
I had…
