Your handwriting is fine. Mine is illegible scribbles that even I can’t decipher after the fact Grin

Trust me, you're fine.

I, on the other hand, must have been meant to be a doctor eventually.

Guy I used to date was very sweet and romantic and used to leave me these probably lovely notes. Very thoughtful gesture, except I never managed to decipher what any of them actually said in full.

You guys are wonderful and have made me feel much better - and given me great tips.

Borntobequiet - yours is my dream handwriting

And I’m a big fan of blueuggboots (who may be my sister in law, very similar handwriting so you would probably get on - love it!) and to
I’m probably nervous about the whole thing so have fixated on handwriting - feeling the love though, so thanks!

And not a stealth boast

And as to the extra T in the final line - it all goes to pot when I’m writing quickly!

Nothing wrong with that anyway you needn’t worry everything is moving more towards typing anyway

Thank you!
This is quite a useful video I think.

Practise writing on a flip-chart beforehand so you can work out how big to make your writing. Beware that it's easy for writing to become smaller and drift up or down from the horizontal as you move across the page (pencil lines on the paper beforehand if this is a problem). Then stand at the back of the room to check what you think is large enough writing is really big enough. Use colour, bullet-pointing and spacing to make your writing easier to read.

If you're concerned about writing in front of your audience, write the flip-chart pages beforehand, or write the starting points and add more information as you go. You’d probably want to draw any diagrams beforehand (draw in pencil first to get the layout right).

Your handwriting is lovely, just watch your spelling. Also, capital 'I'!

Your handwriting is completely normal for an adult! I find my handwriting varies a lot depending on what pen I use, so when I find a pen I like I buy lots!

If yours is bad then mine is ineligible
