'After school drop-off yesterday, I went to get my usual coffee, and as I was getting in the car, taking my mask off with one hand and holding the coffee with the other, I saw something out of the corner of my eye,' she recalled.
Sally said she couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was that made her jump and spill the scalding hot beverage on herself.

'It all happened so quickly - not sure if it was a bird or a falling tree branch - but whatever it was shocked me and I jumped,' she said.
'The contents of my cup - a freshly made boiling long black - tipped onto my throat and chest, immediately burning the skin right off and causing very deep burns.'
Sally revealed an 'ambulance ended up being called' and she was promptly taken to the emergency room for treatment.
'I'm at home resting now and when all the bandages come off I'll know more about ongoing care and next steps with the burns specialist,' she added.
Sally also thanked the doctors and nurses who tended to her burns, as well as the ambulance workers who transported her to the hospital.
