PGP / SPD My story:

The escalation of the bulky waste issues didn't change anything so next step is the ombudsman. I went to the Ombudsman today and explained the following: The organisation has contradictory information on their do it online website as it states 'where your bins are emptied' (which is in gardens for the assisted list)  I paid as advised by housing association Livin for bulky waste to be removed from my garden as a mobility impaired individual.  They have no assistance policies or procedures for the disabled for bulky waste at this time and won't refund me even though they clearly are discriminating against me by expecting me to be able to move the items which my disability prevents.  Not only will they NOT refund but they won't book another collection, their system is failing the most vulnerable as they don't cross reference addresses or follow up with phone calls. I can't afford to pay again and I will end up with a fine and things because they fail to suppor

  This is not my letter, so credit goes to the original owner but this is exactly what I've been advocating for, for years. Mandatory education on disability awareness and inclusion! Heck, I'd even go to schools to educate on invisible illnesses and how so many disabilities are different for each person. How it's a normal part of life and that different is nothing to be scared of, there are people who deserve support and compassion, period. Anyways, I shared this very powerful letter from a very intelligent child on social media and hopefully more and more people can advocate until we see the change happen and schools be more inclusive. I gained the title associate producer recently, for the film Dagger's Inn that a friend is cast in. It's ever so important to support creatives and make positive change happen in the world. By supporting fellow creatives you're supporting their dreams and there's nothing better than that. Still it's nice to add a new term

Having been looking after my fur baby Bud and working towards a sole tradership I've been extremely busy. I've handmade more jewelry for my Depop and Etsy stores and started an accounting book. I'm always honest in my blog and I don't know how to word this so I'll just say it, I've felt like a failure. 😔 I'm still not over the fact I can't do what I used to do especially more so when people don't understand and are telling you that you need to do more etc, and yet I still don't quit. I've come too far.  Bud is healing beautifully and the little weirdo adorable doggy actually likes having the cone on him now. He doesn't make sense ahaha. He's the best though.  He never judges me and is happy to cuddle me and he gets excited to see me and he's my responsibility, he's amazing. He has to keep the cone on for the week to keep his wound dry and healing and it's doing much better now. Some friends have helped me a little with th

 Bud here again, Mama took me to the vets again and because I won't wear the cone they gave me a onesie. I wanted to go straight home and was very vocal to everyone about it. I'm just chilling with Mama now on the sofa and I think there was a very poorly doggy in as an emergency. Sending love to them and their family. Thank you for reading my doggy blog. Bud 🐾

 Hi Bud here! I went down for surgery yesterday, to meet the XL Bully law requirements, I was very anxious and scared and my momma couldn't stay with me. It was very scary. I came round and refused to eat anything because I was wondering where my momma was. She came back and I just wanted to leave so didn't even hug her lol, I don't like the vets. I was groggy and weary for a while but I made sure I got plenty of hugs off momma, she won't let me lick the wound from the neutering but she's given me the pain killer I need today and for the next two days and I'm back to the vets for a check up soon too. I'm back to my playful self and I can't wait to recover properly, I think my doggy momma was so scared yesterday but she's ok now. I calmed her down. Just been gentle playing with my rope toy as my mam changes bedding and I'm just going to take it easy. Oh no, she's back, best go back to doing doggy stuff. Thanks for reading! Bud 🐾

 I'm taking the necessary steps to make this business work. Please feel free to support me whilst I do this via shares and likes and helping me to network. Yes I will do the same for you as I believe that working together helps people to become more successful! I am currently setting up ad campaigns and getting an accounting book. I will be opening a business bank account and registering as a sole trader after that. I need to get liability insurance for any markets or stalls I may like to attend. Then it's paying class 2 contributions. I've emailed South Durham Business Enterprise as they never got back in touch with me so hopefully they can assist, if not then I'll do it all myself. 😊 I'm capable and my disability can't take away any skills I have thankfully. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼. IMPORTANT NOTICE: 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 As a disabled artist and business, you will wonder why you should choose me over other leading competitors. This is why: ✨ I use my voice to support my communi
