🎉 Tomorrow we’re starting a steps challenge to raise money for our friend & colleague Michaela, for her life changing spinal surgery 🎉 We’re walking the distance of Donny to Berlin AND BACK! When it’s cold, wet and grey! 🥶🍁 Here is Michaela’s story👇 gofund.me/0c2f6ac0

What OCD is not: - being tidy - cool - a personality trait - a ‘quirk’ - being clean - liking order What OCD is: a dehabilitating condition which consumes a person’s mind and life through persistent, frightening intrusive thoughts and repetitive compulsions #OCDAwarenessWeek

@rly_katy That’s a great achievement! Have you got any tips? Desperate to be confident enough to drive to Sheff but too scared yet!! X

A few months ago I was frightened to drive 10 minutes across Doncaster, and now I'm driving to Sheffield and back on the daily. It's probably nothing to most people but it feels like a monumental shift for me, genuinely thought I'd bottle it and buy a train pass.

Officially signed off as a band 6 and passed my driving test over the past few weeks! Makes up for 2 weeks of suffering post- tooth surgery! 🥳

@Twickets hi, keep trying to buy tickets but it just keeps saying they’re “being booked by another buyer” for the past 30 mins? Have refreshed the app loads and the tickets are still showing as available?

@rly_katy Congratulations !!! Amazing result 🥳🥰

My word, it's been a long 6 years of studying but I've managed to get a distinction on all of my key modules, and 87 on my dissertation! Can't believe I'll be accepting a First Class Honours in Psychology 😭🎉 #OpenUniversity #OUPS

Do any SLTs know of any resources that have swallowing exercises in different languages that they use within their trust please? Particularly Polish but all languages would be useful!! Thanks ☺️

Day 278 of running the entire length of Africa. Need your support now more than ever on this one. Appreciate you all🫡

Very nice (but surreal!) experience going back to LBU & delivering a lecture about online post-laryngectomy communication methods to SLT students on this rainy January morning! They were all lovely and made me feel very welcome! Thank you @DrAnneHurren for inviting me 😊

@mirandaleachSLT Thanks Miranda! Hope you’re all good! 💕
