Because lots of my support workers are still away after the holidays I’ve had a few more gaps in my support than normal. Fat Sister and King Russell have stepped in to help, and last night I went to stay with them.

King Russell collected me after my seven-month-old niece had gone to bed. When I stay at their place I sleep upstairs so I can be on the same floor as the toilet. It’s hard enough getting up there at the best of times, but tonight I had to do so silently, and in the dark, so as not to wake the baby!

After successfully manoeuvring past her room I looked at King Russell and asked, “When will my Ninja training will be complete?” At that moment my niece started crying. King Russell didn’t answer but needless to say I think I’ve got quite a way to go before I get my Ninja badge.
