17 YEARS OF SUPPORT PELVIC DYSFUNCTION — PGP / SPD:

Image
🎉💜 17 YEARS OF SUPPORT PELVIC DYSFUNCTION — PGP / SPD! 💜🎉 Today marks 17 years of Support Pelvic Dysfunction, a community I founded to create a space where people affected by Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) / Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD) could find understanding, information, reassurance and support. Over the years, this community has become so much more than a page or a group. It has become a place where people can share their experiences, ask questions without judgement, support one another through difficult days and remind each other that living with pelvic dysfunction can feel isolating, but you do not have to face it alone. To every person who has joined, contributed, shared advice, raised awareness, reassured another member or simply stayed quietly connected to the community — thank you. 💜 Seventeen years is a long time, and I am incredibly grateful that this space is still here, still helping people and still giving a voice to those living with PGP/SPD. Here’s to continuing t...

Love, Laughter & Roadside Recovery

Love, Laughter & Roadside Recovery: Well… tonight definitely didn’t go quite how we planned 😂🌧️ But somehow, it still turned into one of those strange little evenings you know you’ll remember. A huge thank you to the two lovely women in the chippy who kindly let me use their toilet — such a small act of kindness, but it really meant a lot to me. 💗 So there we were, sat in the car waiting for recovery, listening to the rain, eating chips and curry and just making the best of it. Not exactly the date night we imagined, but honestly… not a bad one either. 😂🍟 We were together, we laughed, we had a bizarre little adventure, and that’s what matters most. Sometimes the unexpected moments end up being the ones that stick with you. Thank you as well to the very kind RAC man who came to help us, and thank you Peter for looking after me and getting through the chaos with me. Love you so much! ☺️❤️✨ Sarah Wingfield Actor • Author • Advocate  KawaiiDollDecora.uk #DateNight #UnexpectedA...

The Upside Down - Project Escape:

Review — The Upside Down, Project Escape Middlesbrough ⭐ 7/10 Today we visited The Upside Down escape room at Project Escape in Middlesbrough and had such a fun time! ☺️🖤 The challenge gives you 60 minutes to escape the Upside Down, working your way through a series of puzzles, clues and surprises. The room itself is really well thought out and planned, and once you're inside you can communicate with the team using a radio if you need help or guidance. Before the challenge starts, the staff explain everything very thoroughly, which I really appreciated. They were also incredibly friendly, welcoming and accommodating throughout our visit. ✨ The main downside for me was accessibility. I couldn't see a lift and there are three flights of stairs to reach the escape room, so unfortunately it wouldn't be accessible for everyone with mobility difficulties. I'd definitely recommend contacting them beforehand if you have access requirements. Overall, though, it was a really enj...

My Origin Story: Everything I Did Back Then Was Building the Life I Have Now ❤️

My Origin Story: Everything I Did Back Then Was Building the Life I Have Now ❤️ It even remembers Magnolia TV from 2005-2007— the media, film and production company I was trying to start before I moved into my photography business! 😂 It’s crazy looking back because there were years when life felt pointless and all the work I’d done felt like it hadn’t amounted to anything. But today I’m using the skills, academics, creativity and experience I gathered and sacrificed for back then in everything I’m building now. It was useful after all. I needed all of it for now. For today. I’m proud of my origin story and I’m proud of what teenage me achieved too. Music has always been part of who I am, so K•Doll really isn’t anything new. Back then I was known as Magnolia Music, and I was also in the band In Search For a Syndrome. We even played at The Sage in Gateshead alongside Asian Dub Foundation, which is still cool AF to say. 😂 Then there was modelling, photography, trying to build Magnolia ...

Reform UK’s welfare policy: the problems in plain English:

Reform UK’s welfare policy: the problems in plain English: https://www.reformparty.uk/making-welfare-work-document.pdf Reform says its new welfare plan will make the system fairer and help people into work. But when you look closely at the proposals, disabled people have very good reason to be concerned. Reform wants to save around £50 billion a year across welfare, while its disability reforms would remove or restrict substantial amounts of disability-related support. The party says people with “severe” disabilities would be protected, but it also proposes gradually removing unconditional cash support from people it categorises as having “mild” conditions and treating some mental-health and neurodevelopmental claims differently.  Here are the main problems: It creates a hierarchy of “deserving” disabled people. Reform repeatedly distinguishes the “severely disabled” from people with supposedly “mild” or even “trivial” conditions. But disability is not that simple. Someone can have...
