    It’s been a crazy ride since I presented my last @BBCNWT bulletin in Aug 2019 and joined @LancashireFRS. Today I got the final results from my firefighter training & I’m so proud to say I got DISTINCTIONS in all the end point assessments: practical, theory & interview.🔥👩🏼‍🚒😊

    I reckon I’ve vaccinated about 100 people today. This is as close as I’ll ever get to feeling like a superhero! What a brilliant, uplifting day 😊

    I’m sharing the very sad news that Beccy passed away peacefully this morning. She spent her last few days at @SJHospice who provided the most dignified & compassionate care to Beccy & her whole family. Donations to the hospice can be made in Beccy’s memory. ❤️

    Today I failed a big assessment at work. I’m sharing this fact because we humans are always wanging on about our glittering successes. But it’s not always a straight road. And failing makes us better in the end. (Also I need a hug) 🤨

    I’m officially a competent firefighter! ❤️‍🔥👩🏼‍🚒 2 and a bit years of graft, some tears, a lot of laughter, loads of blue lights and sirens, assessments, drills and lots of experiences. Thanks to all the wonderful people who have supported me and goodbye black triangles!

    Such devastating news about the death of Dianne Oxberry. This is how I’ll remember her. Quick-witted, always smiling, and the consummate professional. She was a beautiful woman and we shall miss her so very much. ❣️

    It’s a year since I left behind the 📺presenting lark to join @LancashireFRS and I’ve passed my BA team leader assessment. It’s flipping brilliant being a firefighter. Plus the hair and make-up is on fleek. 👩🏼‍🚒

    From another woman in her 40s with abdominal cancer… I hope you’re all very bloody pleased with yourselves for all the horrible, horrible speculation. Bloody ghouls.
