Hello everyone, 

My name is Jeanette but everyone calls me Jeni, I am a mum of four, ages 13, 15, 16 & 20. My two youngest have complex needs, one of which is mutism (selective mutism) so we are learning sign language as a way for them to communicate when their anxiety is high enough they physically can't speak. I am finding it hard as my 15 year old is ambidextrous but predominately Left handed and my 13 year old is right handed, I can use both. I have always been interested in Sign Language, I used to work for a leading fast fit centre and hand both deaf and hearing customers, I learnt enough basics for the job to help me get by but that was nearly 18 years ago now and my brain isn't as co-operative these days at storing information. I'm looking forward to my learning journey, and I hope to speak with some of you lovely lot soon.

    • Hi. But there are plenty of casinos offering the same conditions as what you described. How do I know that the sloterra casino I have chosen will not screw me out of my money? I want to make money, not lose it. What are your personal tips for finding the best online casino.

    • I looked up the figures at this website for the estimated number of people with hearing loss in Ealing and Hounslow: Ealing: 48,500, Hounslow: 36,500 So I can see why volunteer Befrienders with BSL proficiency are so needed, Vince.
