disappointment :(

Hi Girls,

Well I'm feeling pretty shattered at the moment I had arranged my first mini field/and information stand for next weekend at our local home and leisure show-They have just cancelled it due to lack of community support.  :( You are all doing some unbelievable and wonderful things in your community and I feel like I'm not doing enough. I how ever am going to think of something, anything even if small and at the last minute to do before this month is over.

My next project will be country music week and I'm 100% sure it wont be cancelled.Now remember everyone is invited to help me during Country Music and more than welcome to stay at my house in the backyard camping or in the house on the floor lol.

I had to get my disappointment of my chest and knew you girls would understand.Keep up the amazing work ladies.

Nicky xx

  • my hearts going out to you right now, we have all been generous with our time and that means you too!!,  new plan, keep it simple, there's still half a month left and  EVERY little bit helps so grab a cuppa and relax.

    O.K got the cuppa, ...good, now.... hows about the local library, got a lawn out the front? nice entrance to put up a table with balloons and flyers maybe. Doctors surgery, hospital, health centre, What about a mall,? some were to sit, display, sell merchandise, chat, and round up a couple of mates maybe to help (gotta pee,lol)  Is there a new business in town maybe looking for free publicity, good chance to ring local paper and promote them as giving- always good for business. I'm doing my mini mall with my son at his school. Having a PINK free dress day, gold coin donation -630 students, wrist bands for sale, lolly jars donated by local shop for raffles, media coverage, and selling pink balloons (local party hire place,)- (paying $1 sell $2) to be released in honour of anyone touched by BC. promotes school and BCNA. Got kids at school?   Well now I'm of for a cuppa, your a legend doing anything and i so want to jump on a plane and help, haha, maybe next year, hope this helps and good luck you'll come up with something i'm sure,     dont stress, thats not the plan o.k?   chat soon,   Kaz xx

  • Hi Nic

    Don't let a little thing like a cancellation stop you.  The girls have offered some good ideas and I know that you will sort it all out.  Remember every little bit counts.  (I wish I could fit into the little pink tutu but never mind I will substitute something else for my event)  Never give up!!!!XLeonie

  • thanks girlies OK things havent gone to plan and I have been run off my feet working 7 days a week for the last month.I know I cant beat my self up about this and sometimes its the small things that matter.Was interviewed by the paper a couple of days ago and they spoke about the BCNA , mini fields that my breast care nurse organized and my personal story so was happy about that.My work had a Girls night in last friday and even though I didnt organize it and I worked the night it was great because I put out some of the women,wore my bcna shirt and got talking to a couple of ladies due to the shirt(they asked me what size I was wearing lol) and I think well you know what if I help one person in any way thats all that matters.This lady is now going to be coming along and meeting my fellow girlies at our support group.

    My "weekend boss" she owns a trendy cafe and catering company  spoke to me today and she wants to do another girls night in and thinking about making it a regular thing and wants BCNA to be who she supports-oh yes she loves me and all that I do for her lol.

    So yes I have been bitterly disappointed and feel like I'm not doing enough compared to everyone else but I know every little bit counts in the big picture.

    Thank god I have you guys to sort me out lol XXXXXXXX
