Hi
Hi everyone, my name is Zec and I haven't been very active on here for the past couple of years, so thought I would say hello.
I am even worse than usual due to getting Covid, I messed up and forgot my mask when I went out and I am angry at myself because I rarely go out!
I have ME, I am a full time wheelchair user after many knee surgeries left me worse off.
I blog to eat up some of the endless hours in the day and I review products, and last year I started a bi-weekly live stream about disability with Mik Scarlet.
I cannot wait for spring so I can get out in the garden, that is where I am happiest, and I will happily do the gardening in exchange for a flare up!
Like many of you I am struggling mentally and that is being made worse with the massive rise in energy prices, it scares me as it is simply unaffordable and I keep hoping it will be sorted but I don't those in power really care.

Hello there @Zec Richardson and welcome to the community, thanks for joining and sharing a bit about yourself

Both your blog and live stream with Mik sound really interesting, I hope you can share some of the topics to chat about here on the forum.
Although I'm not a gardener I do appreciate time in the garden, or just being outside, so I'm very much looking forward to spring arriving too!
Energy prices are certainly a worry for a lot of people, especially here on the community. Scope has a free advice service called Disability Energy Support, please do take a look if you feel it might be helpful.
You are welcome to explore the forum, and join in anytime using the categories page or get to know our members and play games over in the Coffee Lounge.

Alex
