This was the answer to my question when asking the local council sports department if they had a hydrotherapy pool. * Groan * …here we go again. Forgive my pessimism, but every time I try to access some form of sports facilities something doesn’t go right and it’s usually because of the restricted growth. Take …

From MSN: Cheryl Cole Treats Birthday Boy Simon To A Singing Dwarf
Having been roaming around the web this evening I found the link below. http://celebrity.uk.msn.com/news/gossip/articles.aspx?cp-documentid=154888199 Is this true?? * Head slumps onto laptop keyboard in exasperation * Why?

Petite Size Clothing
Continuing on with the clothing theme from yesterday – I found this handy directory called Petite-Size-Clothing.co.uk. Split into handy sections like tops, trousers, skirts and shoes, it lists online shops that are dedicated or include petite sizes.

Petite Fashion Autumn 2010
I indulged in some retail therapy today and was pleasantly surprised rather than the usual depressed state it leaves me. Being an odd body shape where you fit somewhere between children’s and petite sizes is rather frustrating on the fashion front. I found this morning, that I could get back into an older child size …
It’s Like Being Famous, But Without The Money

They’re Filming Midgets

My blood boiled for an instance, but the delivery by Farrell was actually quite …
Going On Me Holidays Again

This was what was said to me awhile back when I was seeking advice on going for a job. The person was impressed with my CV and tapped into something that I’ve thought about often when trying to establish myself in an interview situation and in a workplace. Whilst I think that it’s got easier …
Someone Tried To Video Me On Their Phone
I was walking down the street with a friend who also has restricted growth, we were quite happily talking away when my friend went quiet. She’d clocked that a young man was taking too long to pass us and our small strides. We turned around and sure enough, he was fiddling with his phone. We …
