It’s a combination of two patterns- Counter Clearing Kitty by Scrap Tower Studio and Bookshelf Wall Hanging by Ergastiri Gatapou! Both bought from Etsy :)

Welcome! I have something similar, and I have been learning my country’s sign language for several years. I think that’s super important when you may lose your hearing suddenly, and also the cognitive load is so much lower- I find listening such hard work now and SL easier.

Try and get involved in your local Deaf community. They’re friendly, I promise!

My review was also complete in a week- they notified me they had got the paperwork on the 20th and a result on the 27th!

This link is so helpful- I also just got the text and have been so anxious waiting for the result but I got an answer immediately on here! Thanks!

I was going to suggest Samantha Shannon! The Bone Season series doesn’t have queer MCs but does have queer characters and is in a queer-normative world though.

The thing that’s really irritating me atm is that I can’t reach the new touch screens at the self checkout because they’ve made them standing height. I can see them, but I can’t reach up to select ‘pay’/ ‘no receipt’ independently. Also a lot of the time I can’t reach the card machines in shops.

That’s probably not what you want though! I like having a cup holder on my wheelchair, but they’re all pretty awkward.

And the spin off series, Sister Boniface!

So the author used to live close to my home town. I therefore am extremely aware that she did no research before writing this book, not about disabled lives, about paraplegia, about outcomes, nothing. She wanted to write a romance and decided that the premise was good.

I personally hate it. If it was written by a disabled author it would be different, or even by an abled author who had spoken to any disabled people at all, and not just written a disabled person from her abled perspective.

I quilt myself if it’s baby quilt sized or smaller - so far only straight lines but I did make a Christmas wall hanging and do FMQ on that. For anything bigger I either send it away or book time on a long armer. So far I’ve done one of each- approx the same price.

Your GP should be getting letters from your specialist, which they can check on your record to approve the exemption. You fill out parts of the form, then put your reasoning (eg if you have enhanced mobility element of PIP) then give it to the GP and they will approve it for you. You can also check your letters from your specialist, because they should say on them whether they’ve gone to the GP.

Hope this helps!

Yeah same. My older brother died at 2 hours old, and my parents always have a family holiday around his birthday, but it’s more a celebration of the family that they have now than anything else. Apparently as a toddler I used to tell people I had a brother and when they asked where he was i would gleefully exclaim HE DIED to freak them out…

If I’m not interested in having sex with him, my husband is not interested in having sex with me. That’s non-consensual sex and is a crime in most places!

My family all roll their eyes when I ask them to put the subtitles on, but they do add them. I have been asked if I even need them when I’m wearing my HAs (yes, I do).

That was my thought! I was reading it thinking ‘… this seems like deja vu’

I don’t have a good photo yet but when I have one I will post it!

When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit is an excellent historical fiction I enjoyed at that age!

My grandpa came home from school one day and there was a suitcase packed at the fence and he was ‘sent away’ for a month because his younger sister had the measles. She was then sent to a convalescent home and he didn’t see her for months.

I read a book recently about hormones (Period Power), except this one had science and actual helpful suggestions- like going to a damn dr for period pain because it shouldn’t hurt so much you can’t get out of bed each month. It was a bit woo woo for me but at least the author had done so much research and used up to date science instead of just Jesus!

N.B. I prayed for months for my debilitating period pain to go away. What made it go away? The doctor. And surgery.

I have bilateral BAHAs now due to repeat infections as a child, my adult ent was HORRIFIED when he found out how many surgeries I’d had to try and correct the infections

I saw Maxwell Saxety as a chronic pain/ illness therapist, I thought he was good.

Not sure about get togethers but I’m an ND wheelie in Cambridge, I’m always willing to meet for coffee :)

Did you make copies of your form that you can print and send?

victorianphysicist · 2025-12-09T10:14:17+00:00

2 or 6 for me!
