Yesterday I picked my sister up and we made our way to my favourite photographers house. On arrival the photographer assembled my wheelchair and I gently rolled down the slight hill to his bungalow and he helped me up to his front door. Given that it is a bungalow it isn't the most wheelchair accessible and he had to help me up a step and then guide me down a large step into his main room. We made our way to the living room where he and my sister had to carry me in the wheelchair over some pipes. I had him lay a white sheet down and set some lights up while my sister and I discussed what to do. She then left the room and the rest can be seen here!

I took my sister to work last night, it was for someone in a wheelchair and as usual I was waiting in the car when I saw a man get out of a mini bus in a wheelchair. I opened my window and was talking to another man who then invited me in so I thought 'why not?' and he took my chair out of the boot and reassembled it and in we went. I went straight to the room where my sister was getting changed and when she went out to do her thing I sat by the door and watched. There were a few people in wheelchairs, some were definitely quads but not sure if some were paras or recovered quads. One of the men asked if I did any wheelchair sport and I swiftly informed him I do not do sport, I have never done sport and I am certainly not interested in wheelchair sport. It seemed like I was expected to all of a sudden change who I am and enter the Paralympics because I am in a wheelchair. One man even kept on and on about me joining their wheelchair rugby team. I got a bit pissed off and asked him if he wanted to do a sport because he can walk. As he kept on so did I saying 'why don't you do archery, you could compete in the Olympics? I need an archer'. You would've thought someone so involved with disabled people would know better than to assume ALL wheelchair people should do a sport. In that case I assume all people who can walk should do a sport.

On the way home I had cold legs so I turned the heating on in my car and set the blowers onto my feet and legs. They soon warmed up, little did I know maybe too warm and when I got home and took my shoes off my right foot was red! I cooled it down as much as I could but I could see a slight blister forming on my toe next to the big toe. Today it is less red but blotchy and I have a few small blisters and the blister that was forming is much bigger. I am always so careful, feel like a bit of an ass now!

I have a magazine coming over in an hour to take pictures for my skydive promotion exercise.

Not an update but a reply to a comment - I didn't cut my hair, someone else did after I distinctly stated I did NOT want my hair cut more than an inch. They cut it so short I can barely get it in a bobble and I hate it with a passion.

It's tent time again this weekend as I prepare for Creamfields! I had 2 sunbeds this week which is usual for me. On Monday when I went though I was getting my chair out and I heard a voice ask if I needed help. Seeing as my chair was ready to go I declined and the voice asked if it was a wheelchair as the car door was in the way. I looked up to see a mid 40's year old overweight woman sat outside the cafe where I park and I answered yes. The fool then made an 'aww love you' sort of noise to which I obviously assertively said 'I don't want your pity, thanks'. I should have been 'awwing' at her for being so God damn ugly and old but I don't do thinks like that because it's RUDE!

On my way to the Post Office I hit a lip in the paving stones and slowly tumbled out of my chair. A man came to my aid so I quickly explained my legs don't work so merely assisting me will not help (I've had people offer a hand or arm before, thanks guys!) so he got me back in my chair safely. An old man then decided to inform me the Olympics were over to which I dryly replied 'thanks'.

Anyway,all 4 wigs I ordered have arrived now so I don't have to live in hair hell and they even stay on when I fall out of my chair haha!

Today I woke up at 10am and it was looking sunny. I did my usual bathroom thing and wiggled into a pair of dark blue jeans and a black t shirt with my new stray kitty following me waiting for whatever food I was having. Turns out I ran out of cereal last night so I made do with some cooked chicken and Parma ham and chucked some down for the cat. I tied my now short hair on top of my head, got my long black wig on and did my make up then made my way to the car, got in and dismantled my wheelchair as usual and put in beside me.

I drove to my favourite photographer's house. He is a witch and a Reiki Master and I was off for my Attunement which is like my first lesson and means I can use it on myself and others in the hope of being able to help speed up healing and such. He was interested to see if my aura was the same through my body seeing as I was paralysed and he picked up on some things I hadn't mentioned which weren't obvious such as extra nerve damage on one side. There was another lady there and we all took turns practicing Reiki on each other. Whether or not it was power of suggestion or it really had some sort of affect I could feel extra tingling in my legs and think I felt changes in both their auras where injuries had been. It was interesting either way!

I got bodypainted again yesterday - as a robot! I am very busy this week so I won't be revealing them until next week. On Wednesday my sister and I dressed as a bumble bee and lady bird and went to Cardiff courtesy of a BBC3 show named Snog, Marry, Avoid. I am going there this evening ready to be 'made under' tomorrow. It will be aired in January.

I saw a fan on Tuesday and got a parking ticket in the disabled bay so have to writ to them and appeal. How rude! I've been busy all week to be honest! Befriended my lad again and hope things have changed - we'll see!

My housemate and I went to Thailand last November and stayed in Bangkok but had a day trip to Pattaya where we realised it was better than Bangkok with a beach as well as a lot of things to see and do. Where my housemate has been in London he has seen adverts in the London Metro for Pattaya for 2 weeks £400. I did an online search and found a 5* hotel in Pattaya (on the North bit) for 2 weeks plus flights £820 each! When we went before we went for just over a week and flights were about £500 each and the accommodation which was 3* cost I think £12 between us per night but a search on hotels in Pattaya is at least £30 a night and that's probably not 5*, not that that matters - you just get posher facilities and more of them in a 5*. Our stay in Bangkok was wonderful, the staff were great!

So anyway, we're going to go to Pattaya for 2 weeks woo!
