Knit Your Square To Give Your Share 2009!

Heldun

Hi everyone

I'm a newbie but have been looking at your thread for a while. I have already started knitting but wanted to contact Shezmit to find out if I can send some things directly to my nearest hospital. I tried the email address on the preemies website but it didn't seem to work. Shezmit if you're around could you let me know if Luton and Dunstable hospital need anything in particular, otherwise I will just start knitting some bits and pieces and send them through to you.

Look forward to joining in the chat from time to time.

Hi Heldun - great to have you with us. I'm sure Shezmit will be along soon, but you can also send her a private message ('pm' for short) on here by clicking into her name, which you will find at the left hand side of her posts on here; you will then see a drop down menu which offers various things including 'send a private message (or words to that effect!). Click onto that and you will be able to send her a message. When she next logs onto MSE, she will see from the top of the page that she has a private message.

I do hope you are able to join in the chat!

That's brilliant! (about your son, not the dinosaur)

Well done him:rotfl:

Shazrobo - a special (((hug))) to Joshua. What an achievement! He sounds like a wonderful lad.

Pippa - have a relaxing evening. I might be joining you in a doze on the sofa!

Lots of updating to do in the morning - everyone's been busy!

Shaz say 'well done' from me too - far too few kids do anything in their local community - and those that do rarely get recognised for it - well done him - and you too!

Good morning everyone. Here I am, up early again!

Shazrobo - you must still be on cloud nine after Joshua's brilliant achievement!

Well, I finally made a start on a dinosaur last night and have got on really well with it. I put two things ready to start - another hedgehog or a dinosaur - it took me ages to decide which one! Now, if I had two pairs of hands.....!

Thanks to everyone for the latest totals.

thanks everyone for all the well done messages to josh, i let him read them all this morning, and he is grinning from ear to ear. so much bad things get said about kids with adhd, and its nice to share something good for a change.

going to be working on my dinosaur this afternoon, have patterns for dolls and teds next, so many patterns so little time lol
