Profile Information

Hometown and Country: Brighton, UK

Relationship Status:: Single

About Me and my Creativity.: I have been keen on doing patchwork and having ideas for projects like this Creative Cafe. Am hopeless at art! Would like to learn more about photography.
Love music but can only play chopsticks on the piano! Love reading and don't mind writing.

Likes and Dislikes: Like Mashed potato and
Don't Like marzipan

Website:: http://creativecafe.org.uk

Do you have any disabilities that affect your creativity?: I have been diagnosed with Bipolar for 30 years. I guess it affects my creativity but is hard to compare since I have no experience of not having bipolar! At college being a bit manic ment I could stay up all night writing essays and meet the deadlines but getting too manic makes everything more chaotic rather than creative in my experience.

Where did you hear about Creative Cafe? If you heard about Creative Cafe from another member please say who as those recruiting most new members will win prizes.: Myself!

Any other News?: Creative Cafe is set up and run by volunteers with mental health and other disabilities in Brighton Uk. We say 'Don't Let Disability Mean Inequality' and want this site to provide equal opportunities for disabled members to show off their creativity alongside members who have no disabilities in a friendly and encouraging atmosphere.
Thanks to Timothy Buckley, Peter Loudoun, Tom Higgins , Brian Goddard and Tony Davies for agreeing to be trustees and volunteers helping with this Creative Cafe project.

Laughter is the best medicine article.

Comedian Gareth Berliner tells the story about how laughter saved his life
I think this article is pretty interesting. Is it true that laughing every day will keep the psychiatrist away? You can also click on the website link

Checked out the main page. Is full of colour and creative verve. Brill stuff and a great way to celebrate 2 years of the cafe.

Am looking forward to the cyber cake and wish you and all cafe members all the best for the coming year on the cafe.

Have they fixed the cooker yet? Is okay to have take outs and microwave meals out of choice but not out of compunction.

Is a pity that I am not more techno savvy otherwise I could help create things on the cafe and share some of the workload. Is an awful lot for one person to be mostly responsible for and I feel for you having to do so much. I know what you mean about things never moving as quickly as you would hope. There is still no sign of a care home for Dad although the Trust had him visit this really nice place locally and everyone has acting as if it was likely to be the place he would go to. Then it came to finance and it all imploded. I can't be doing with all the politics and game playing. It's pathetic really.

I had also hoped to scan some cards and display them on the cafe but my scanner has got kaputski. Perhaps Santa Claus will oblige and perhaps not (lols).

Sort of getting ready for Debs. Am staying over at hers and we are going to a fireworks night at her neices but am wilting a bit. One of them days.. Will rally later I am sure.

Anyway, hope things are going well in Brighton and that you have a wonderful weekend.

I was starting to get worried, the 7th was coming up really fast.

At 8:06pm on November 4, 2009, Lesley Carole Chilvers said…: Hi Jill, Thank you so much for the positive feed back. I feel quite optimistic for the first time in ages!

At 11:03am on November 4, 2009, Mandy Lawrence said…: Hi Jill

Can't believe cafe is nearly 2 years old. Time has gone so quick but is great that it is thriving and more power to your elbow.

Like you, I have got crimbo pressies in early. I got most of them when I went to MK with Em and I have got her crimbo and birthday pressies via the internet. I want to get her some surprises but will pick them up as and when.

At the moment I am making crimbo cards for family and friends although Em wants to book a car boot sale stall and I think I might book one with her.

Going out to lunch today with Debs (of goat fame). She has 50% discount so will be a very cheap meal. I don't mind at all ....you know me - Bargain Basement Betty. lols

Looking forward to seeing the competition entries and the 2 year celebrations.

Bye for now
