I had 2 sindy dolls (a UK version of barbie, but slightly more realistic proportionally speaking)

I didn't play house with them, instead I made them armour from card, and cobbled together weapons- metal nail files were swords, and I made a bow from a knitting needle and an elastic band, the arrows were straightened paper clips (I really excelled with making these as they actually worked and could take out bits of plaster from the walls)

I also once made a Viking village, complete with longship, again out of card.

I still think the best toys are the ones you have a hand in designing and making yourself, but then I am an autistic creative nerd 😃

That's really cool, like a guardian watching your back!

I love the ear also, I don't like jewellery so as an alternative to earings it's a good idea

Ah, I understand!

Wow, that is beautiful! Did you come up with the design concept yourself?

Your tattoo artist is mega talented!

That's the problem with my ash brown hair, I'd have to bleach it before I could go mad with colour, so its basically too much hassle, which is a bummer

Oh to have a blank canvas to paint on!

OMG I've got this one, different cover though!

I think I read it almost in one go and didn't give up half way through, which is a huge achievement for me

It really helped me understand my autism and explained so many of my difficulties as a child, teenager etc

Spoiler alert, the chapter on older women with autism is very thin, as let's face it we are a small, under diagnosed demographic, but here we are!

Weirdly, I've been thinking a lot recently of women on the margins of society historically, the spinsters, widows, the women who choose live alone because they function differently, and how they've been either ridiculed or treated with hostility and violence

I think I'm beginning my witchy part of life, and I intend to fully embrace it 🧙

edit, forgot to mention, she has some really good videos on YouTube if you find it easier than reading

Feeling the pressure, but managing to keep going

Fuck yeah!! That's one of the reasons for my undercut, a bit of natural air conditioning for summer

Can you still dye grey hair bright colours or can it damage it? Just for future reference!

At some point in the near future I'm probably going to get a tattoo also, but I'm not sure what yet

When Lady Butterfly asked us to guess what her recent tattoo was of, I suggested a flaming skull, which I think could be awesome for a menopausal woman... I'm thinking maybe an Aztec or a dinosaur skull

Being able to run would be nice, I look like I'm having a seizure and my boobs aren't exactly aerodynamic. I don't think I'm built for speed or grace

Me and the bf were running for a train once, he looked back at me and nearly burst out laughing, he always remembers it fondly
