How I did it
It made me
Proud 
How I did it: Although I was bulimic for 22 years, it was only 4 years ago that I gained the courage to finally confess to my mum that I was bulimic. I can't remember if she confronted me or if I told her voluntarily. I just remember that there came a point where I realised that there was no dignity in spending so much time with my head down the toilet. Poor Mum had already dealt with me having anorexia when I was 15-16, so me having an eatin… Read how I did it…

I have been a bit slack in getting around to see this exhibition (especially since I’ve got a bit of the ole Scots in me myself). There’s nothing like a closing date to motivate a visit.
I found out that in some areas almost 1/3 of the population were Scottish, and some of our famous leaders and business men were Scottish. Most importantly many of the women involved in our early women’s suffrage movement were Scottish or of Scottish ancestry. Since New Zealand was the first country to give women the vote, we owe a lot to these wonderful Scottish women!
