It's been a little while hasn't it!

I hope you're all doing okay 😊

The summer break goes altogether too quickly (once we get to the end) doesn't it 😉

If you've got children starting school and nursery this year good luck. It's a big change for everyone.

It's always a wonderful opportunity to remind our children to be kind to everyone they meet.

Whatever your week looks like, make sure you schedule a little time for you.

I was able to spend a little time at Damhouse today visiting Merly’s Kitchen CIC and catching up with some very friendly faces!! A wonderful break in an otherwise busy weeks schedule for me.

Practicing what I "preach" and taking time for me!

Absolutely lovely it was too 😊

BTW who saw the Christmas Ad on TV yesterday 😭 my goodness!! Cheers Center Parcs!

Don't let summer be over just yet! Pleeeeeaseeeee!!!!!!!!

This study will investigate attentional processing and interoceptive awareness in adults with and without ADHD using a questionnaire-based design.

The primary aim is to examine the relationship between tactile sensory processing and attentional control in individuals with ADHD and their neurotypical peers. Specifically, the researchers aim to determine whether altered tactile sensory patterns are associated with attentional control difficulties and whether this relationship differs between groups

Phew.... what a few weeks it's been. Not just for me, I've been super busy. But, it seems lots and lots of friends and family have had some pretty chaotic times recently too.

I've had lots of conversations with friends and associates about the stress of life these days. It's worth remembering that "right now" is always the right time to consider getting support.

If you're struggling don't do it on your own. Please.

Speak to a friend, colleague, doctor, fellow student.... you get the idea!

In our area (Wigan and Leigh) we can self refer for NHS Talking Therapy.

If you prefer to find a private therapist then the BACP Therapists Register is a great resource. You dont need to be in a "mess" or "depression" or "sick" to seek therapy....

So, I barely got back into my stride after my summer holidays before getting struck down by Woman Flu for the second time this year. 🤧

However, this week I'm back (again 🤦🏻‍♀️) and ready to have an amazing second half of 2025!

I'm determined it's going to be absolutely flippin fabulous!

I've got some limited availability that I've hung on to until after my break.

Unfortunately no evenings or weekends available at this time.

If you've been putting off getting in touch, what are you waiting for?
