Busy me

Hi All

I have been extremely busy since the training. I have had stories in three local newspapers, got to meet Shane & Gary on the "That's What I'm Walkn' About" trek and also ended up on the package in the footy show on the thursday night when Shane arrived. WOW!!! It's amazing what you can do with the right tools and knowledge.

Hope everyone is well & keep up the good work.

 

Cheers

  • Hi there "STAR" ... how's it all going?  You've certainly been busy.  Saw you on the news before the "Footy Show" package so I was able to brag about my C/F (celebrity friend LoL) ... you know how it goes " I know her etc etc".  Were you able to get to the show?  It would have been so moving - I was a blubbering wreck just watching it ... what with Jim Stynes then Shane.  Lyn looked totally overwhelmed and i can't blame her.  The emotion was just about tangible, even thru the tv.

    I've got an info table at the street market on Sunday (first weekend of Country Music here) then a "Girls Night In " at my hairdressers on Fri 1st Oct ... just to start the month off.

    Rang our Melb girls yesterday to organise decoration gear.  They asked how much do I need ... told them I had 25 business houses, 3 pubs, 1 club, 1 paddle steamer and a church fence!!!

    Got the first lot today ... they are a wonderful lot down there.  They make our jobs out here so easy.

    Take care ... Cheers ... Shirl

  • Yep, saw you as well and bragged too. I have laminated the Shane Crawford poster to use in my displays in the future, as he is the MOST loved man in OZ.

    Lucky you walking with Shane and Gary (hope he was smiling ha ha).

    Love.

  • Well Done Kerri,!!!!!

    you have been busy and putting us all to shame, i have a few things on the go as well, painting the town pink, etc, so here;s hoping i can pull it off. I am going to Adelaide Monday to see the neurosurgeon about operating on my anurism (in the brain), now i know why my friends and family say i dribble a load of crap, well maybe i can use this as an excuse lol.  so hopefully i can get that over with and get back on the track of organising.

  • You are all doing an amazing job as well. All the best Moira & Shirley for your events, and all the best for your check up Moira, i will be sending you good vibes on monday. I also have a few more things up my sleeve. Im organising a pink morning tea over my works three sites & trying to convince my support group to run a mini field.

    No I didn't get to the footy show but did watch it & yes shirli it was a very emotional night.

    Great to hear from you all

    Cheers Kerrie

  • Hi girls,  I was so excited but now I have read your blogs.  Hell do you girls sleep?   I spend a lot of time on this site, go to work and still you guys are buzzing.  Anyway from my artlcle in the paper, I now have my first gig.  A survivor who works as a Sales consultant at RSL in a nearby coastal town rang about my article.  She is hosting a mini field of women and having a fundraising morning tea.  She wanted to know what I was doing for my mini field.  Anyway we got talking and she asked if I would like to come to her morning tea and deliver my story.  Yeh!!! I am really excited.  I know you girls will join in my excitement but the girls at work just wanted to know what kind of leave I would be taking - boring lot but they will dress in pink for Oct month so I will forgive them!!.  Last evening we had our Dragonboat Club meeting and the girls are going to assist me on the day of the mini field.  They are all going to make mini muffins to give out to survivors.  They are a great group of ladies and are my heros.  We are going to release 100 pink helium balloons at the end of the day.  (airospace permitting)  Best see what else is happening on the site.

  • Dearest Moira

    I will be sending loving thoughts to you as well. Hope all can be mended soon and you will be "good as new"!

    Take special care, xxx

  • Will be thinking of you on Monday ... i do hope you get a favourable response from your Doctor.

    Now as for the friend and family and their "crap dribbling" remarks .... show them your x-rays etc ... photographic evidence that you have a brain .... and ask to see theirs'. LoL !!!

    Seriously though, i know you'll come through this with flying colours

    Cheers ..... Shirl
