I feel like I’ve not posted my face for ages and I feel like I’ve not posted my face for ages and I think because the weather has no idea what it’s doing AND there are boxes infiltrating my MIND at this point because of the kitchen reno, I can’t post outfits because it’s just a mess and I’m not going anywhere? DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? Anyway, I put make up on and did it differently to usual, and I like it. ☺️ 
Happy Wednesday! ✨

Anyway, I wore double denim the other day and I didn’t hate it? The jeans were a bit baggy towards the bottom so it felt like a really comfortable jumpsuit 👖

At the end of October I was made redundant from my At the end of October I was made redundant from my job in marketing. I've been working in the industry for over 8 years and I absolutely love it, but that job and my incredibly toxic manager really made me begin to feel like it wasn't for me anymore. 

Since being furloughed anyway, my mind constantly flitted between going back after having Casey or completely changing careers and doing what I had originally planned on doing before I fell pregnant with Isla - and that was teaching.

I felt like being made redundant was just a sign; the push I needed to just apply and just before Christmas, I was accepted into both of the courses I applied to.
Looking back now, I cringe because I was offered a place on the course on my Zoom interview and I promptly burst into tears hahaha, but I wanted it so badly and I'm so proud that I managed to do it.

I've been volunteering in a Year 2 class for the last two Thursdays and will be continuing to do so until they get sick of me tbh, but I'm loving it!

My Primary teaching course starts in September, for a year and although I am so, so nervous, and SO aware that it's going to be ridiculously intense, I'm excited and really looking forward to good change. ✨

tw: sexual assault I touched on it on my stories tw: sexual assault

I touched on it on my stories yesterday but everything around the Sarah Everard case has brought up a lot of horrible, horrible memories for many people and I truly hope you're okay. 🧡

I've had a sick feeling in my stomach all week about it all and am thinking of Sarah and her poor family, and how much they (and we) are so desperate this nightmare to end, and for her to turn up alive and well.

In 2011, I'd just broken up with a boyfriend and went to visit my old flatmate from first year in SE London. I stayed well into the night, had a few drinks, caught up and left to go home around 1am. My bus was a straight one, stopped right outside the Santander bank  on Walworth road in e&c, but there was a guy on the top deck who kept turning around to look at me - there were only three of us up there.

I got off at my stop, looked behind me to see that he'd got off too and once I'd walked past the bank, I looked behind again and he wasn't there so I carried on. I kept checking and eventually he came back into sight but he was walking at my speed on the opposite side of the road. It was pitch black, no one else was obviously around and he crossed the street towards me whilst I crossed back over to avoid him. 

He skipped back over, and at this point I was literally about 30 steps from my house and he towered over me and asked me if i had a watch and if I could tell him the time (classic). I said no and tried to keep walking, but he grabbed my shoulders and throat, pushing to get me down to the floor. I screamed and screamed and it felt like an age that I was trying to get this man off of me, but I managed to get my arm round and instinctively just went for his eye, stuck the tip of my index finger in there and pushed with as much force as I could to get him off me.

I hurt him enough for him to realise that it wasn't going to work because I was still screaming, he let go and I ran as fast as I could to get home. I've never been more grateful to have @jessicaweston01 and Ash there. We called the police and they dealt with it but after my complaint and one trip to be questioned, I heard nothing else.

MOTHERHOOD · 2nd April 2016

Let’s talk about Isla

Hello,

Today is World Autism Awareness Day, and World Autism Awareness Week starts today too. I thought there wouldn’t be a more apt time to talk about Isla, lay her progress down on ‘paper’ as it were, and tell you more about how we’re coping with her diagnosis.

I’m still learning a lot about how to talk about her autism in a way that doesn’t offend people, so if I phrase things wrong, I’m really sorry.

The beginning of February saw Isla start her speech therapy sessions in what is known as intensive interaction – building her speech up from the bottom upwards, mimicking sounds and noises that she would make, like you would with a baby, to encourage her to interact with us; to show her that playing with others is fun. She had 4 sessions of this, and since then, her eye contact has gone from 0-100, and we’re continuing this at home and at nursery. Because she’s looking at us more, she’s able to tell us when she wants things more, and because of that, her speech has started to improve a lot. She’s even saying the last words in sentences now, and for us that’s incredible.

On top of that, we’ve just started Sensory Processing sessions, to encourage her balance (as she’s quite clumsy) and to encourage her fear of certain textures. So far we’ve only had two, but the difference is already noticeable. Perhaps I’m hyper sensitive to it, but she’s dodging a lot more obstacles, and her motor skills are 100x better than before and her awareness is so much better.

It might not seem like an insane amount of progress since October, but to us, it is. In a few days we find out what school has accepted Isla, and we are so excited. We made the decision to go ‘mainstream’ because I wanted Isla to have a proper experience of school. Yes, she’ll have a 1-to-1 tutor, but that’s going to make a huge difference and being a 4 year old, you don’t know the difference between your peers. They don’t see colour, and if they don’t see that if someone doesn’t talk it’s not out of ignorance or rudness, they just accept – and that’s what I’d like for Isla.

I’d be lying if I said either of us has found this easy. I’d be lying if I said I often struggle to get my head around it all, but I know for Isla it’s important to keep strong because she’s going to need us a lot more now and I really am looking forward to seeing how she flourishes with our help and the help of the therapy.

I love that she now dances to music, and that she’ll look at us when she’s trying to say words or if she’s not entirely sure of herself when she’s playing with her numbered cards. I love that she loves kisses, and how excited she gets knowing she’s going to nursery or going shopping – a girl after my own heart. I’m so grateful that she doesn’t mind crowded places, that she quite likes having her hair done and that she loves being tickled – her laugh is honestly the best.

It would be amazing if you could donate. With the money, the NAS are able to set up incredible campaigns to highlight more awareness around autism, and get more of us understanding the ins and outs.

I feel so incredibly lucky to have a supportive family and partner. Particularly Adam, who has accepted Isla like his own, I’m so lucky to have him to lean on when things get a bit too much. And equally, I’m so proud of Isla and how well she’s doing – Onwards and upwards for us. Keep an eye out for my next post for World Autism Awareness Week. (:

Watch The A Word on BBC iPlayer too – so insightful.
