I live here at the Meath all my friends are here. I am here because I have jumps and fall over lots, my wheelchair helps me get around. I have epilepsy but had a seizure a long time ago. I feel nervous of walking its hard to stand still because I can’t balance. Soon I’m going to wear a helmet, it’s a good idea to help when I fall over. Sometimes I hurt myself on my head. My arm was in a sling cause I fell over in my bedroom, I got up myself and its getting better. My walking is also getting better now.

I like The ARTHOUSE its good fun, we enjoy ourselves, we have music and that, I bring my CD’s and I like Cliff Richard. Rachel works me hard, that’s good cause it’s good to work hard. Philip is in The ARTHOUSE, he paints when I paint. I did a tortoise once. I know lots of things about the tortoise. I was proud, very proud indeed. It was at an exhibition. I was very pleased with myself. I like painting best, well I draw it then paint it in, so I do it together. I’m happy with myself but sometimes I get really cross with myself cause I lose my temper but I like to be jolly.
