Hello and welcome to Fun Fact Friday, a feature in which I share facts about myself that aren’t linked to my Cerebral Palsy.
This week’s fun fact is that my little sister and my cousin have painted my nails two different shades of sparkly blue. My sister does my nails for me sometimes, and I normally choose the colour for myself, but I let her choose this time.
I’ve told you all time and time again how much I value the support I get from my family and friends. I value it more than I think they’ll ever know. I’d love to be able to repay them all, but I have no idea how.
This week my awesome friend Donna, (who blogs over at craftyquiltsblog), has made me some really cool Very Hungry Caterpillar wheat bag covers. I’m really greatful because I use wheat bags a lot to try and get rid of or lessen any aches and pains I get.
To find out how she did it and what they look like, go and check out her post about it.
Thanks again Donna, you rock!
This weekend, I did something I haven’t done since I was small. In fact, I don’t even remember the last time I did it it was so long ago, but I’m pretty sure it must have happened once.
I went out in a dress, but didn’t wear tights.
This may sound like no big deal to some of you, but it kind of feels like one to me. I hate the way my legs look. Not because of the scars from the operations I’ve had, but because they look weak and scrawny, and my poor circulation in them and my feet means that they always look a slightly blue of grey colour where my arms do not.
I’m a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl most of the time, but when I do decide that I want to wear shorts or a dress or a shirt, I always wear tights, whatever the weather. The thicker they are, the happier I feel.
However, the UK has been having some lovely hot sunshine of late. A lot of the people I meet seem to say they’d be happier if it was a little cooler but Im quite happy for things to stay as they are for a while. I find it easier to move around when it’s warm and I seize up in the cold. But at the weekend it was so warm that I had a feeling I would cook in my thick, wooly tights, so I made a decision. Rather than be uncomfortably hot, I would go bare-legged and if anyone didn’t like it, then that was their problem.
I felt a bit self-conscious at first, but I soon forgot about and just focused on having fun shopping. I occasionally caught sight of myself in a mirror which brought it back to the forefront of my mind again, but for the most part, I forgot all about it.
I felt a sense of acomplishment when I got home again. I’m glad I did it but I’m not sure I could make a habit of it.

If you could be an animal, which one would you be?
I would be a cat because I love their independent attitudes and I’d get to sleep all day without being judged.
Hey guys, today is your lucky day because I’ll be posting twice. Fun Fact Friday fans will be pleased to know that this week’s installment will be coming up later this afternoon, but for now I wanted to share my latest vlog with you and the pain that I’ve been having of late.
I hope you’ll forgive me for doing two updates in one day, but, for now, enjoy the video.
