ASDA shoppers blast 'unbelievably lazy' £1.75 Jubilee party item HOW MANY TIMES?! Precut fruit might be 'lazy' for an abled person (I don't personally think that), but for someone like me, severely disabled, IT'S THE ONLY WAY WE GET TO USE THIS STUFF.

@KnightyTheGreat @agenderfox you're barking up the wrong tree...It's proven that in cases of HG, the mother frequently suffers from the long-term effects of the calcium deprivation they suffered whilst pregnant.

@HarrietSergeant @ccwild79 When your life is so bad, the routine & camaraderie, plus 3 Square meals a day & a warm bed every night can seem like a luxury... Even at 42, my life is STILL impacted by the fact that I'm a Care Leaver, and I'm only NOW getting the support I SHOULD have had at 16...
