December begins on Tuesday and the final month of the year as well as the last few weeks before Christmas. Had quite a busy month as I've been helping out with a lot of groups to talk about health related issues and with social work students at Coventry University. As well as sharing my story what I have also shared in my most recent video (although only the short version of it), I have also been to different places and meetings as part of what I do with Grapevine.

Tuesday just gone, I was at my local Learning Disability Partnership Board, what happens every two months. I have recently joined as a full time member and as a self-advocacy rep. The theme this month was Safeguarding and Forced Marriages.

Away from all that, I have earlier today just started on my tree and decorations with the help of my cousin who helped me set it all up. I still got quite a bit to do. I am thinking of waiting till Monday to do my actual Christmas shopping as that is also Cyber Monday so should be able to get some deals.

I am going to start preparing my Christmas Day journal this year as well as a year review, which will contain much information as all in all, this year has been a complete change from the shambles of last year and a massive improvement. So much things have happened both online and in real life and things have changed for the better. I am looking forward to getting this all published.
