PR guru, to PJ warrior...horizontal in an odd world. Battling multiple conditions with fierce humour, and writing books along the way #DiaryOfAHorizontalGirl
1/18 Today is the beginning of #Dysautonomia awareness month, so I guess now would be a good time to explain why I live in a horizontal world... please don’t scroll past...have a little read

Tired of your dog shedding everywhere? Don’t fight it…. craft it! Turn that moulting into a hobby and felt yourself a backup dog (or twelve)

25 years today since the release of the iconic film ‘Ghost’ with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore…

It feels a bit odd saying I’m proud for going on holiday…like I deserve a medal for lounging on a sunbed and eating cake at sea…. but when you’re chronically ill, joy and adventure don’t exactly come easy. So yes, I am proud. Because I did it despite the pain, the exhaustion,…

Well done, Giulia! Some great awareness… please do watch 🙏
Firstly, a big thank you to my @BBCNWT colleagues for letting me speak about Addison's Disease & massive thanks to @RogerJ_01 for being so great with me It's weird to talk about myself (much prefer chatting footy!) but this is so important to raise much needed awareness Part 1/2
😊Slowly returning to normal after summer break, back to work on Monday ready for pre-season⚽ 📺But later I'm on @BBCNWT about something very important & personal to me 💜I'm speaking about Addison's Disease: the rare, incurable condition I live with 18:40 BBC One/@BBCiPlayer
I made it to the ball… Yes, I was horizontal again 40 mins later, feeling like 50 shades of shite with a heart rate of a hummingbird… and my carer in somewhat of a panic But I danced and laughed… I DANCED!!!
Liz capturing me in deep contemplation… I’d like to say I was ruminating over the meaning of life, or the nature of consciousness… but I was actually debating a second round at the Buffett!

Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the wee baby donkey…. It’s gonna be 42° tomorrow! Gingers should not be allowed to visit foreign lands past April Idiot.
Actual footage of me trying to get out of the heat…. #GingerIssues #ItsThirtySixBastardDegrees
I made it… I fricken MADE IT! So many years stuck in my bed, dreaming of this… Im such a happy little bean 🧡 To every single one of you who’s cheered me on, checked in, sent love, or simply stuck around… thank you. You’ve no idea how much you’ve carried me through. No…

Aaaand today’s outfit is giving a ‘No Shits’ vibe, inspired by copious amounts of seasickness, and blustery Atlantic currents…. #ILookLikeASmurf

Something rather splendid happened earlier… I boarded a ship with my mommy and PA, and we set sail on a little adventure. Never in a million years did I think I’d ever get back to being able to contemplate doing life again. My body is still incredibly broken, and horizontal…



WARNING!! Gushing auntie post: My bootiful little niece is off to London tomorrow to audition for a huge Disney production… and I couldn’t be more proud! 12 years old, and every bit a star already… Go, Holly, Go!! 🥰
