Re: Self employment and dyspraxia.
Awesome work, I really love the idea of furniture out of scaffolding, or anything old and industrial looking. I saw this amazing collection of furniture that was reclaimed from an old Michelin factory, set for the scrap until someone gave it a bit of a brush and made a small fortune with it. Really ...

Re: Bonjour...
No worries, Jim!You prompted discussion, which is always a good thing :) I am indeed from The Shire, recently moved to the posh bit so I'm willing to admit it these days :P I think I've pretty much always accepted that I did things differently, It's always been fairly obvious but I also struggle ...

Re: Bonjour...
I'm not trying to be dismissive, now that I read it again I probably didn't word it very well. I just mean that some of the dyspraxic type things that effect (affect?) me are so simple, like struggling with a knife and fork or dialing a phone number right first time, you get so used to struggling ...

Re: Can you swim?
I was brilliant at it at school, now however I'm pretty terrible. Unless I'm doing lengths of a pool, with my head under the water, I seem to revert to doggy paddle without even noticing until I start to sink. I think its just a matter of lack of practice really!

Re: Any single dyspraxic peeps!!!
Rebecca, 21, Cheltenham. Newly single, freshly emerged from that weeping-on-the-kitchen-floor, can't-live-without-him, eating-way-too-much-nandos-take-away (isn't it amazing that nandos do take away??) phase and have recently realised that there may be life and other humans on the other side of my ...

Bonjour...
Hiya, Rebecca, 22 from Gloucestershire. Diagnosed in primary school, so pretty used to it all now (unless I put my socks on too fast or forget to make a list before going to tescos). Here out of interest really, never really had any experience with other dyspraxic's aside from my Dad, and were so ...
