Positive news
I wasn't going to mention this as of yet but decided I would.
So in October there is this event where you get given rewards for certain things. And well I was put on the list by someone and that list was short listed, which basically means it went to the higher people who made the list shorter and picked roughly up to 8 people to stay on the list and I am one of them. So in October I have to go to this rewards ceremony event, to see if I have won the reward or not.
The reward I have the chance of winning is an inspirational person rewards. So it is a reward given to a really inspirational person in my area.
The person who put me on the list has not all about me for roughly 2 minutes and explain what makes me an inspirational person and why I deserve the reward and the same will happen to the other people on this list and at the end of it the upper people will decide based on that who gets the reward.
And then we stay and have drinks, talk and do all sorts of different activities.

Re: August 2025 achievements!
So I didn't do much this August but here are mine:
- continuing to volunteer at my local charity shop and becoming more confident with sorting through clothing and stuff.
- Did travel training prep with my job coach who will be my support when I do my internship as of September the 1st.
- continued to attend my crafting group with my neurodiverse friends
Not really an achievement but this Saturday I'm going to my friends wedding

Re: August 2025 achievements!
I looked after a house and a dog for 4 days without burning the house down or overfeeding the dog (this is the real risk when said dog is a labrador)
I redecorated my room, well my mum did the actual painting but I did the cleaning and tidying and we got it done in just over 2 days which is an achievement in itself
I finally put my name on the social housing list in my area, I’ve been meaning to do it for 6 months
And last night I helped to prep a meal for 9 people!!! I’ve never cooked for more than 5 before so it certainly was an experience.

Re: Newbies Corner!
I am kind of hoping to maybe get some support, I am just really having a hard time and wanted a safe place to come to.
I am proud of myself for going out on my own
