Merry Christmas! The fat man is nearly here and I reckon I’m his ‘bestest’ elf … and well, I should buy shares in eBay. Christmas shopping doesn’t faze me, I can get whatever I need from the comfort of my crowd free house and you don’t feel like you’ve spent anything until you check your bank account.

Welcome to freefall… I'm in my late twenties. My great loves are the creative arts, particularly music and creative writing. I have cerebral palsy (CP). In my case it means that I can't walk very easily - I use a chair most of the time. More about me…
