About me.

I am a 41-year-old female whom lives at home with mum and dad and our cat Brian. I enjoy a wide variety of activities as above and love watching DVDs (Disney, Postman Pat, Moomins etc), listening to stories and playing games. I use a wheelchair for getting around, but I can walk short distances, if supported, and sometimes get around the house on my bottom. I like going out and about and seeing interesting things. Can you help me do this?
