ALLEDGEDLY, WE NOW HITTING NEW HIGHS WITH BEING SIZIST IN OUR CLOTHING

Hello, it's me again, and I'm rather cross.

I have just seen an ITV (ITN) report alleging that plus size women are being charged more for their clothing, than, what magazines and a Hadid who doesn't eat ANYTHING (no lie -broadcast on RHOBH) tell us , is "normal sized".

This makes me so fucking mad. And it makes me mad for the opposite reason. I have severe and debilitating Crohn's disease. That's the one where you shit all the time, yeah? It ain't fun, it ain't glam, and it certainly does not make you plus sized. My intestine it situated outside my body and lives in a bag. IT'S SUPER GLAM.

Unless you meet a little friend called Prednisolone.

Pred is a steroid. Steroid introduce water retention and give you something called Moonface. If you are SM addicts, you probably saw fellow sufferer, Dynamo, recently looking a bit different. I saw that for two seconds and went, "he's really ill. That's Pred."
Back on stage


Don't gawp. I didn't put his picture there for that. It's basic demonstration Oddly I didn't take any pictures of myself in those periods. But I ate a hell of a lot of cheese on toast.

Don't get me wrong. Pred has probably saved my life a few times, physically. It has also destroyed my life, emotionally, many more times. I overheard a friend talking about me in the pub one day, and his words were, "jeez, she's packed it on hasn't she?". I cried for days and never wanted to go back again.

I am now too thin. I do not absorb nutrients, I spent last bank holiday in-patient in hospital, and I seriously thought One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest was a fiction. Me and my broken veins can tell you, it ain't. Have a chat with Mr Hunt. I should expect (ha!) he may be across this.

The worst thing that has happened to me in the last while is I've lost the use of ,my legs, fingers, feet. Peripheral neuropathy. Don't even bother, I can't be bothered anymore, but basically it sucks and I walk with a stick. And someone I hadn't seen in years greeted me with "you're so skinny! I wish I could be as skinny as you."

I died a little on the inside at that point, but equally I'm not mad at her at all. People don't know how to react to illness, I have to get to terms with that, because I do get really mad all the time.

Skinny people are no happier that heavier people. Do NOT THINK YOU CAN CHARGE PEOPLE MORE FOR CLOTH, WHICH WE USE TO MAKE OURSELVES FEEL A BIT NICER. FANCIER. PRETTIER. Skinny, underweight people do NOT take "you are so skinny" as a compliment. Lose the prejudice, yeah?

Also I had a full basket, New Look. It's now empty. YOU did that.

DON'T DRAG ME INTO YOUR HOT MESS

So, good old POTUS has done the expected, and listened to no one, except the two or three hirings (firing date TBC), who are blowing smoke up his arse. By doing this, he is putting the entire world at significant risk.

The speech he delivered, poorly, regarding pulling out of the Iran deal was pathetic. There was absolutely no foreign policy included, but a hell of a lot of "bads", "poor deals", and general grandstanding. You may be the POTUS, kiddo, but at the end of the day you are a shadow of what the office holds dear. You know what a lot of people appreciate in a leader? Well-rounded intelligence. Thoughtful consideration. Truthfulness. And you have the absolute bare faced cheek to talk about "cheating" on a deal. Marriage is a deal, Donny. How you getting on with that deal? Yeah. Thought so. You got off lightly on $130k. According to good old Guiliani. ("Such a fine lawyer".)

I am furious that this one megalomaniac is dragging us into a world that I thought I was lucky enough to leave behind as a child with the Iraq war. The night vision images of bombings during that period still give me nightmares. I used to stare up at the sky and wonder if that plane going overhead was going to bomb us. This is how a 12 year old thinks. What about the 12 year olds now, Trump? How do you think your teenager is going to feel about the fact you are plunging us headfirst into the unknown yet again, for your personal gain?

You really think North Korea are going to drop everything and play nice? You used to be The Apprentice guy. Even you must know better than that. But you don't, because it's all about THE IMAGE and THE ART OF THE DEAL. Which you didn't write, just as an aside. I suspect you probably didn't even read it.

So, tremendous work Donny. And before you think about getting your goons on me, I'm an American citizen so I say what the fuck I like. First Amendment, yeah? The one before you can all have guns. How you getting on with your NRA mates? Bet they're loving this rhetoric. Although, in fairness, that word is tricky to spell so, you know.
