Yes, I’m doing another challenge and one that is even closer to my heart than music. A challenge for special needs bloggers, there are a lot of us about. Each sharing our experiences and wanting to raise a little bit more awareness and acceptance within – at times, a not very open – Society. It’s […]
It’s an unexpected word to sum up our week today, not a word I’d thought I’d use, being a pre-dominantly footie (well 50% anyway) family. You might have thought my word would be hospital as I had a quite lengthy pre-op on Tuesday and because the first of my rectifying feet operations is on Monday, or Music as D […]
I popped this photo onto Instagram earlier, of a truly happy D: She might look uncomfortable scrunched up but she’s not, she’s very relaxed. And the reason? Cash Trapped, a game show that has replaced The Chase on ITV1 for a few weeks, normally this change would cause D angst but she gets oh so excited and […]
Yesterday I shared my tips for starting in secondary school, in this post, I’m re-visiting our experiences of D starting firstly in mainstream reception and then transferring to SN school.

It’s been the last day of term for both T and D today, quite possibly the last school bus trip with the coach company who are making life extremely difficult for pupils who use their service and it’s also been a day when D rushed home, full of smiles, clutching this: A “Musician Of The Year” award […]
If you regularly read my blogs, you’ll know I’m a “glass half full” J even when my #scarfeet are at their peak of achiness and I’m just worn down by “stuff” but not this week, I’m Annoyed. Extremely annoyed and disappointed in T’s school, which isn’t an ideal way to be during the last week […]
Because T and D are at two different schools (T, mainstream secondary and D, SN school), their annual school reports differ greatly – both in their content and format. T’s is very short, concise and very focussed on current grades and predicted grades as he’s two years away from GCSE’s. D’s is 18 pages (and […]
