I won an award! Oh, wait …

Back when my M.E was severe, I was lucky enough to receive a letter telling me I’d been ‘awarded’ PIP (disability benefits). Obviously I was grateful – I needed all the help I could get. But I was also a little amused.

I mean, I’d heard that getting approved for PIP payments in England can be a battle, but I hadn’t realised it is considered an award if I win.

It got me wondering: Will I get a ceremony? Will there be a brass band? Does someone important shake my hand and congratulate me on my great success and achievement in becoming disabled and no longer able to care for myself? I really hoped so.

Image: me, wondering where the fuck my award is.

🏆?? 😜

(picture borrowed from a time when I was healthy and getting a different kind of award. And no, I have no clue what was actually happening in this pic when it was taken – but its proved kinda useful for the purpose of this blog!)

Hi there! I’m Emma. I’m the shit-head in the picture. A picture can say so much about a person, whilst also saying nothing. Well, nothing in this case other than: I clearly like lipstick and poo hats. So, now we’ve established how tasteful and stylish I am, allow me to tell you a bit about myself...
