Wednesday 17th

I've been studying for, and writing the fifth and final assignment for my course. 1,500 words on a topic of our choosing. I'm writing about 'Bodie Best', a 19-year-old non-binary person with autism and a variety of complex psychiatric conditions. The deadline is 5th May. I'm halfway through the fifth module of six.

I'm at the end of my three-year contract with Motability so it's time to get a new car. These last three years, I've had a Kia Picanto which I've been very pleased with, so this time I'm going for the same.

I'd be lost without a car, and on the benefits I receive, I couldn't afford it. Deposit, insurance, breakdown, recovery, servicing, etc. Altogether, I just wouldn't be able to cope. That's where Motability comes in. For a mobility portion of my PIP (Personal Independence Payment) Motability pays for everything. All I have to pay for is petrol. It's a lifesaver. According to the Motability Salesperson at Kia Slough, I'll be getting the car in mid-May. I can't wait!
