✨ The Last Thing That Had Me Buzzing Like a Caffeinated Bumblebee ✨

Tell us about the last thing you got excited about.

You know that feeling when something just lights you up like fairy lights at Christmas? Yeah, that was me recently. The last thing I got ridiculously, embarrassingly excited about was… drumroll… a package arriving. Yep. Not a holiday, not a lottery win, not even Ryan Reynolds turning up at my door (although, Ryan, if you’re reading this—don’t be shy). No, it was a box.

The Word That’s Been Used More Than My Favourite Mug

What is a word you feel that too many people use?

Some words just… get around. They’re everywhere. Like glitter after a craft project—you can try to escape them, but nope, they’ll be in your hair, your shoes, and your nightmares.

“If I Could Bring Back a Dino… You Bet It’s Gonna Be Extra”

If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be?

Alright, here’s the deal. The world is full of important questions: What’s for dinner? Why does my sock vanish in the wash? Why is my phone listening to me talk about cheese and now I’m being targeted with ads for fondue sets?!

“If I Could Reboot Society Like a Glitchy iPhone…”

What would you change about modern society?

Right. Buckle in.

If someone handed me the big red button and said, “Go on, change something about modern society,” I wouldn’t even hesitate. CLICK. Immediate update. Reboot. Refresh. Starting with… the absolute obsession with hustle culture.

Time? Never Heard of Her – The Things That Make Me Forget the Clock Exists

Which activities make you lose track of time?

You ever look up from what you’re doing and realise it’s suddenly dark outside, your tea’s gone cold, your phone’s on 2%, and you’ve somehow forgotten to blink for the last hour and a half? Yeah. That’s when you know time just packed its bags and left the chat.

📱“Mind Your Manners, Karen – I’ve Got Feelings Too!”📱

What bothers you and why?

(A blog post for the chronically polite and perpetually baffled)

Right, we need to talk. No, seriously – pull up a chair, grab a cuppa (tea or coffee, I’m inclusive like that), and let’s unpack one of my biggest daily gripes: rudeness. I’m talking about the kind of behaviour that makes you raise your eyebrows so high they practically move in with your hairline.

Security or Adventure? Why Not Both… with Snacks!

Are you seeking security or adventure?

Right, let’s get comfy and crack open this juicy little question like a bag of crisps you swore you weren’t going to eat but did anyway.

Are you seeking security or adventure?

Well, buckle up, because this question is basically asking:

🍴”Pass the Potatoes, Beyoncé!” — My Ultimate Dream Dinner Party

If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite?

If I could host a dinner party and anyone I invited was guaranteed to turn up? Oh, the power. The drama. The potential awkward table conversations!

Honestly, I wouldn’t waste this opportunity on being modest. This is my fantasy dinner, and we’re going full glam, full weird, full chaos.

✨What Am I Most Excited About for the Future? Living Life to the Full (And Then Some!)✨

What are you most excited about for the future?

Oh, where do I even start? The future is like a giant mystery box—except instead of socks or sad salad, I’m convinced mine’s packed with glitter, dance breaks, and at least one alpaca in a sombrero (don’t ask why—it just feels right).

I blinked. I blinked again.

🌟 Saying “Thank You” Changed My Life (and It’s Not as Cringe as It Sounds

How do you express your gratitude?

You know that feeling when someone holds the door open for you, or remembers how you take your tea (milk first, obviously)? It’s such a small thing, but it sticks. It makes you feel seen, like, “Hey—I matter.”

The PE Teacher Who Taught Me More Than Sport

What makes a teacher great?

When people talk about great teachers, they often mention the ones who helped them pass a big exam or inspired them to chase a dream job. But for me, a truly great teacher is someone who adapts — someone who sees every student not as a challenge, but as a chance to do things differently.

🦿“Hamstrings and Hospital Gowns: My 7-Year-Old Surgery Saga”

“The Girl Who Wouldn’t Be Silenced: Why I Admire Joan of Arc”

Who is your favorite historical figure?

If I had to pick one historical figure who really stands out to me, it would be Joan of Arc. She wasn’t born a queen, a scholar, or a warrior—but somehow, she became all three in spirit. What I love most about her is that she didn’t wait for someone else to save her country. At just 17 years old, she stood up in a world ruled by men and kings and basically said, “I have a voice—and I’m going to use it.”

Pros and cons of disability

Lilly’s Disability Cons

Don’t get me wrong in life you never ask to be born with a disability.

In my opinion the cons of disability are you have to find different ways to do everyday tasks, others would take for granted.

Take walking as an example I can do it however I walk with K-Walker or Cruts and that’s only indoors I use a wheelchair when out and about. Continue reading “Pros and cons of disability” →

Remembrance Day will always be a day I’m proud to remember now 

The soldiers we remember on this day both from the past and present will always part in my heart as I believe that the soldiers are the ones who on the front line fighting for us to keep living the way we do

So give yourself one minute after reading this blog post Do you remember the full one who helped make the country what it is today I will always get my poppy

Dealing with cerebral palsy Sally Ann’s story

Dear Cerebral Palsy,

I do not hate you. I do not regret you. In fact, I feel blessed to have been able to grow with you. To be quite honest, I did not feel any of this love and acceptance until recently. I’m sorry. You see, throughout most of my life I have had what felt like a hole in my heart. An emptiness that I assumed was due to me not fitting in among my peers or in society. In actuality, this emptiness was created by me. It wasn’t that I longed for acceptance from my peers or society, but I longed for it in myself.

Dealing with Asperger’s Syndrome

90A6F6D7-495C-4816-A031-4EFFD4DC1B5F

Explain what your disability is?

I have Asperger’s Syndrome (a type of Autism), which is thought of as a learning difficulty or learning disability; it basically means my brain works differently to the brains of neurotypical people. Some people think someone having Asperger’s is a bad thing as we find some things (such as socialising and eye contact) difficult but I think we’re just different, as we often find some things easier than other people (such as maths and remembering things).
