Challenging Your Disability Living Allowance Decision
I’ve received a few emails in recent weeks regarding people with restricted growth having their awards removed and if I had any tips for making an appeal. Thankfully, I haven’t been through the horrible process for a number of years, though in scarily similar circumstances, as it was the time when a new government came …
3 Tips For Buying Petrol As A Person With Restricted Growth
I’ve blogged about this before, but I am always apprehensive when I go to the petrol station to fill up the car. On more than one occasion I have been either stopped or had an issue with pressing the pump. Thankfully it doesn’t happen so often these days, but if you are like me – …
Performer Refers To Her Child As Midget
I’m a bit late on picking this one up and I don’t want to get into the racism row regarding Kelis at the airport. I was, however, mystified (and somewhat alarmed as to) why the performer would use the the offensive word ‘midget’ (the equivalent of the ‘N’ word to people with restricted growth), …
I’m Flirting With Google Ads…
Hello lovely readers, you might notice a change or two around here. I’ve installed a Google Ads banner in some of the more popular posts on a 3-month trial basis. This is mainly to try and cover the running costs of this blog… anything else is a bonus. While I know some people don’t take …
Programme Review: Channel 4 – Seven Dwarves – 20th September 11

This week following, Laura Whitfield from Sunderland and her poignant story of having lost her mum and her problems growing up and the obstacles that she’s overcome to turn her life around. …
Up, Up and Away…
…and quite nearly literally. Hello lovelies, I’m back from my holidays and flew back into Blighty on the tail end of hurricane Katia. Scary. Anyone who knows me, knows that I hate wind and not just the smelly kind. The windows are rattling away in our house tonight and I’m so glad to be inside. …
Little Lady Is Going On Holiday
Why hello there dear readers, it’s been a mad year so far with various things that I have been going on in my life (all good) and now it is time for me to take a metaphorical and actual break. I’ve got my clothes nearly packed, am going to go and fill the car up …
Channel 4’s Seven Dwarves
I’m afraid the majority of this series has passed me by as I’ve had other things to deal with over the last few weeks, but I managed to catch the first episode of Channel 4’s Seven Dwarves, which was apparently made by the same people who made My Gypsy Wedding. For some reason this didn’t …
