28.
Well hello there you lovely lot! It's Wednesday and I feel like writing a blog, so why the heck not! I do honestly try not to bombard you all with frequent blogs but sometimes I just want to update you all on stuff. Do you mind? No? Okay good :D
I'm currently listening to Macklemore and Ryan Lewis - The Heist album, I'm mixing it up kids, if I listen to this in public, like on the bus, I have to really restrain myself from flapping my arms around in the air and miming badly to the words. I ain't no rapper (secretly wish I was)
So I'm now on my two weeks holiday and so far I've done nothing! All the cool stuff is happening next week, gah so unfair! BUT I have FINISHED MY COURSE WOOO *pats on the back* hopefully I won't have to re do any of it, because I really cannae be bothered with that. I do like to learn but I have no motivation or patience to read stuff, does anyone else get that?
Just so you know I'm having major gaps while writing this purely to act as though I'm rapping and shoulder dancing.

I desperately want to grow it uber long but in the mean time, what the heck do I do with this? If you're a hairdresser and have suggestions PLEASE send them my way.
You don't have to read this next part as you may find it boring or be bored of me talking about this stuff but I want awareness for stuff so please read but I understand if you don't want too.
I actually do wanna talk about something, something I talk about a lot and that's Dementia. As I was reading the pages of my booklet I realised how misconstrued Dementia is to so many people. Before doing this little course I thought Dementia was one illness and Alzheimer's disease was a whole different illness, when a matter of fact is that Dementia is an umbrella and Alzheimer's is just one of the diseases under it, Frontotemporal dementia is another, Vascular Dementia and Dementia with Lewy Bodies are all also under that umbrella.
I find when I talk about my Dad's dementia to people they automatically assume what so many other's do, that he has 'gone back', that he doesn't remember who we are etc when actually he hasn't done that. He has Frontotemporal Dementia, I call it Frontal Lobe because that is was it primarily attacks and affects. It affects his behaviour and his ability to articulate what he wants to say. FTD takes away that filter we have developed as we have grown up, it causes impulsive behaviour, acceptable social behaviour can be none existent sometimes and he has no idea of any of that. He is completely unaware that what he can say and do sometimes isn't right.
I am not saying that any of those people are wrong in assuming the things they do about his Dementia, it just makes me realise that we as the public need to be more educated about Dementia because there's so much more about it than we get told about. It doesn't just happen to old people, it ISN'T apart of growing old, it isn't predicted to happen to everyone, it picks and chooses who it lives with, and THAT is why we should know more about it.
It is completely invisible.
You can read again if you would like too :)
I hope to have some exciting things to talk about in my next blog, I need YOUR suggestions on what you want me to chit chat about, what do you wanna know? Put your suggestion in the comment box below so that I can think about it.
Thank you loves for constantly being there :)
Much love

This blanket is THE most cosiest thing in the world! As I was working on my booklet I was freezing (I'm always cold) but that kept me warm :D I absolutely love blankets! I don't think 24 is too old to own one do you?
I want to go off topic for a moment...okay there is no real topic to this blog, I just wanted to chat however I told my mum the other day that I don't brush my hair...she thought it was grubby and I know you are judging me right now but please let me explain, I have huge hair! it's like an afro without the curls, it's Hagrid hair!! And it's just so difficult to maintain on a daily basis!
SEE!!!
