Welcome to the Pinkoddy Family blog. It really is about anything and everything to do with our lives. Here I am below – mother of four boys. We try to do parkrun as much as we can. I am a Jeffer (run/walk technique).
Recently I have been diagnosed as Autistic and with both types of ADHD. Other than that I am a cold water swimmer, work at McDonalds, I’m a volunteer; like simple cooking ideas and love LEGO. There is also a secondary blog covering neurodiversity. Some of the original posts are here too. Enjoy.
