Problem solving when you are disabled: how do I travel with a backpack when using my back rest for holding my 2 non-foldable walking sticks. Had a brain wave yesterday and it works

New and novel way to fall over with MS: opening kitchen door at work and my grip on handle decides to give way. Absolutely flew backwards landing in an undignified heap on kitchen floor. Not my finest moment. MS: the unwanted gift that keeps on giving 😔 #MS #fallenover

First time travelling on a bus with mobility scooter. I’m on a bus to Euston. Looking a bit fraught and stressed. First bus was a disaster getting on, but this route master was easy to board #thisgirlcan #disability #MS

I love Brixton. lady outside the station belting out ‘diamonds are forever’ with a voice that could rival Shirley Bassey. Competing against a street preacher. Each getting louder & louder, it’s like who’ll win in a fight between an opera singer & a preacher - my moneys on her 🎶

It’s been a good uber taxi day. 1 minute waits getting to and from work. The driver who drove me this morning passed me whilst I was waiting for taxi home, he stopped and waved to me excitedly telling me he was my driver this morning 😁🚘

When you have MS you have a special ability to fall over absolutely anything… as I pick myself off the floor having fallen over the cats water bowl #MS #MultipleSclerosis

“There is this terrible misconception that disabled people just take, but actually by taking from us, you prevent us from being able to give – we want to be able to participate in life equally the same as anyone else, and that includes going to work.” Disability campaigner Tanni Gray-Thompson

International Women's Day - the fight for equality
Women have always been central to trade unions and the struggle for a more equal society from the Bryant and May matchgirls to the fight for recognition and equal pay.

Email address I’ve been using for 25+yrs crashed 3 weeks ago. Thought I knew the password, turns out I didn’t. Setup a new email in a panic and changed all contacts to the new email. Tonight finally worked out how to reset the password… feeling very proud of myself. Never going to forget it again!

We are now 42hrs without water. BBC coming to our road tomorrow morning to report on this prolonged water outage. Last night a friend bought round 5ltr of water as we had none & local supermarkets had sold out. Today finally got free bottled water from ThamesWater. Can’t wait for it to be fixed 💦💦💦

‘Celebrating’ my first fall of the year! Tripped over the hoover wire and now got lovely bruised knees, shins, toes and hands. Every year I say ‘this is the year I’m not going to fall over’ - never been achieved

Mobility scooter adventure: Based at Bethlem hospital today so decided to scooter the 3.9 miles there & back. Found the scariest drop curb ever that I nearly toppled over & generally terrible pavements. It took 1.5hrs each way, was hard work, but did it! #mobilityscooter #adventure

Saw Nosferatu last night at Crystal Palace Everyman. beautifully filmed and very atmospheric. A well paced telling of the tale and really worth a watch. Huge jump scare at the beginning though - glad I wasn’t holding my cocktail at the time as probably would have spilt it! #nosferatu #jumpscare

I’m doing ShiftMS X takeover this weekend. Will copy my posts here.
Every year I have the same new year resolution ‘to do something I have never done before’.
This year had a school reunion, saw the Paraorchestra, became a ShiftMS buddy and joined a gym.
Do you have any new year resolutions?

Good morning. I’m feeling very bleary eyed after a party last night (and got a bit of a headache)
Today we are finally putting up our Christmas tree 🎄
What are your plans today?
