Seriously? What is this government doing? It’s like we’re in a parody and someone is going to shout “surprise, only joking” soon!

Emptying my head onto paper - the good, the bad, the random, the real - is how I stay upright, or at least how I get back up faster when life knocks me down.
Whether it's a to-do, a memory, something the kids said, or just how I'm feeling, it all lands here first.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about balancing the books. These benefits are a LIFELINE— keeping disabled people out of poverty, preventing isolation, and ensuring they have the dignity and independence they deserve. Cutting them isn’t "tough but necessary"—it’s CRUEL AND AVOIDABLE.

The sky looks how we all feel today - dark and miserable. Blue Monday doesn’t begin to cover how bad today is.

A fabulous read - sat here now with pen and paper planning a “variation on a theme”
Thank you @ledbydonkeys.org for your amazing work.

It’s cold out there, the kettle is on and as I sit with my brew, I’m reminding myself that the clocks go forward in 81 days ❤️☀️🌸

When your husband shows how happy he is with his gifts - playing his portal with his thermal hat, snood and socks on!

When you’re the spare human and your dog spends his day looking out the window for the people he prefers.

We recorded an episode of SEND Shenanigans last week and this was exactly what we were saying. Get it right for SEND and it works for everyone. It’s good to know that we’re not alone.

Some quotes just hit hard. Years of not prioritising my needs has left me giving everyone what’s left of me, instead of my best of me. I’m starting to practice what I preach. You?

I wish I didn’t have so many ideas. My brain comes up with random thoughts which I then treat like a spark for a new project. Thank f for post it notes and notebooks!

Do not be misled by this cute face! This boy is a bag of energy and nothing is sacred. If you have ever thought you couldn’t achieve a minimalist look in your home, get one of these and you’ll be amazed how much storage you can find to hide everything!

Did you know I have a free bi-monthly digital magazine especially for parent carers? KinToa - all about the parent carer life but tips in there will work for many. There are 5 editions available.

Parent carer to 3 young adults (how?!?), while organising an inclusive music festival or creating parent carer tools. Other times you'll find me obsessing over my latest planner setup or finding humour in everyday mayhem. Looking forward to connecting with like minded folk without egos 🙄🤣
