I didn’t realise so many other people with ADHD struggled with this as much as me. And it’s something I’ve felt so much shame around since I was a little girl. But it doesn’t make you a bad person if it takes a bit more effort to brush your teeth than other people.

If there’s anything you do to help you brush your teeth, please share in the comments so we can all help each other 💖

After over 20,000 of you found me last month, I thought it was time to reintroduce myself again!

Whether you’re a new follower or you’ve been here for a while, I’m so glad you’re here for the journey 💖

I thought I was just really NOT cool in certain aspects of my life, but turns out there’s also things I do that are pretty cool too! 💖

Can you relate to any of these?

I felt guilty sending my children to their grandparents in the first 2 weeks of the summer holidays but they had a great time, and I had the chance to rest before the rest of the holidays.

(It was actually a very last minute decision because my kids are only 5 & 6 and I didn’t know if they were too young to stay more than a couple of nights without mummy or daddy.)

I’ve learned that it’s okay to ask for help and I’m grateful we were able to get some. I know not everyone is in a position to do this, but also both my parents and my in-laws live far away so they help as much as they can, but it’s not a regular thing for us.

How are you coping with having your children home for the summer? Mine will be with us now for the rest of the holidays 💖

I guess this one is the ‘forgetful’ edition 😅

Can you also relate to any of these? 💖

I used to feel so much shame about my debt. It started with a student overdraft and spiralled into something completely out of control. Undiagnosed ADHD could have played a part here, but I also feel like growing up I didn’t get a good grasp on spending. I would spend my pocket money every week on a tiny toy, whereas my sister used to save up hers for weeks to get something so much better!

I’m now fully debt free thanks to a debt management plan (and a frugal husband who showed me his ways of saving money), but here’s some of the things I do to make sure it stays that way.

What things to do you to help save money (or spend less)? Let me know in the comments so we can all help each other 💖

I saw post about this and wanted to add some of my ‘normal’ things too.

Of course, everyone’s normal looks different but I hope some people can relate 💖

What normal things can you think of that are worth normalising?
