I Hate Having Carers: A Rant

The background is cream coloured and the font an old-fashioned typewriter looking font. The text reads, hey Mum, I’m feeling really lonely and if you have a minute in the next day or two would you mind popping into my room so we can have a chat? The edges of the text have been cut off.

Why Can’t I Just Ask For Stuff?

A stairlift is at the top of some stairs; you can see the rail going down to the bottom. The arms of the stairlift are raised, as are the footplate and the front half of the seat. The seat and back are a particularly revolting yellowish-brown colour, and the rest is a pale grey.

Living With ME: a video

A small, battered, blue notebook with a rabbit cut into the cover. Illegible words have been written on it in black permanent marker. Inset in the bottom right corner is childish pencilled writing, reading "this story" and, on a separate line, "hope you like it". At the top of the whole picture is written "My first book!" in an old fashioned typeface.
