Hi there, my name is Hol. I am a 32-year-old woman. I have two cats, Tat & Trix. I love to cook and bake vegan food. My cakes are legendary in the family and beyond. I love reading Fantasy, Crime and Young Adult novels. I love music and I go to as many concerts as possible. Sometimes with my sister or mum and sometimes with my friend, Corrie. I love walking but recently that has been put on the back burner due to pain in my feet and hands.
I have an acquired brain injury, which is due to a benign tumour that was diagnosed when I was 14. I am now 32. My ABI means that I have a reduced cognitive function which means I have slower processing speeds. I become fatigued quickly and need to recharge with a nap before I can go again. Something else from the gift that keeps on giving, as I like to call my ABI, is that the nerves to my bladder are affected, meaning that I must take medication to manage it. However, this also means that I may need to go to the loo at short notice. Apart from that, I can manage my personal needs myself.
Your role would be to help me go shopping. I like to do a weekly shop at Tesco and then batch cook for the week. To help me tidy and organise around the house. Also, help me manage paying my bills. Change my bedding on a weekly basis. Take my cats to the vets, as they go there regularly. Pick up my meds and help me to reorder them. We may also go shopping at Monk's Cross or Designer Outlet. All this we would do together.
I do not have my driving licence yet, so you will need to have one and a car. Also, I would like someone who doesn't smoke. Lastly, I would prefer a woman. If you've got this far then thank you for reading to the end.
