Update on Fund Raiser

Thanks Carolyn. That's really nice of you to say. I love helping people, it makes me feel good. So in doing this fundraiser i can give back a little which is great. Love Janey xxx

Oh I'm so glad. My daughter is 25 and this year has been very rough on her. She still lives at home and she's been a tower of strength to me too. Knowing that my diagnosis will now effect the way she looks at the life ahead of her really upsets me (yes I'm tearing up too). She is such a lovely girl, I hope some great man sweeps her off her feet and looks after her. She deserved it as all our daughters do. :) Janey xxx

Well done Janey, Congratulations on a successful day of fundraising. You truly are an inspiration to so many of us on here. Carolyn x

She has been my constant support this year, taking care of the day to day stuff, coming to appointments if my husband couldn't and keeping me smiling with a wicked sense of humor. She has also been amazingly insightful about everyone's behavior and reactions. Despite the obvious negatives of recent months she has blossomed into a lovely, caring and more confident young lady. We were all so proud of what she has achieved for someone so young. (getting teary again!). It was a lovely evening, with lots of love and laughter. :) Deanne xxx

How'd your daughter's 21st go?

It seems you are not just creative with words, but cooking too! Congratulations on your hard work and well done to your sister, daughter and niece as well. Sounds like a real team effort. :) Deanne xxx

Thanks Janey. Should be in bed. I am such a night owl. Lots of last minute jobs. Have been online Christmas shopping. Hugs Paula xxxx

You're a sweetie Paula. I'll be thinking of you this Wednesday honey. I'm certain your as prepared as you can be. J x

I am in awe of you. Pulling that off even with your sister after all you have been through. You go girl!!! Oh yeah, you look great by the way. Paula :)

It was a collaborative effort. It was held at my sister's Townhouse (she the one in the photo with me) and she did a marvellous job decorating and even a little cooking which is a big thing as she doesn't like cooking. She had a theme of pink, mint and white colour and she even made up little white organza gift bags with fancy twining tea sachets (of course in strawberry and mint flavour) and a pink chocolate heart as a thank you to the 35 ladies who attended and donated. My mum provided the champagne punch and was very attentive to make sure everyone had something to drink. My daughter and niece were the MCs for the afternoon and ran the raffles. It was just wonderful and letting go of the balloons at the finish was very symbolic. Cheers Janey xxx
