    Hello all :) just popping on to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone that has donated to our just giving page I'm trying to get round to messaging you all individually to say thank you but it's taking a little while :) and thanks for the words of support, it means a lot.

    For anyone that doesn't know my mum (Leenie) found out she had ovarian cancer last march, she has since had months of chemo followed by a total abdominal hysterectomy and then more chemo. It's been a horrible year for us all but hopefully things are on the up and mums going to be one of the lucky ones.

    We are now both running race for life in May and are trying to raise as much money as we can to help the research into finding a cure for cancer. We also want to help make women aware of ovarian cancer, it's the fifth most common cancer in the uk but we don't think it's mentioned enough. Mum went to the doctors originally with bloating to her stomach and pains to her side, other then that she was fit and healthy. It's important it's caught early as it can quickly spread to other areas, unfortunately mum didn't catch it early enough because she didn't recognise the signs.

    I will make sure I post some pictures of us on the race day, me, mum and my 18 month old will be taking part. Any ideas what we can wear would be great, we're going pink but want to do something abit different..... We did think along the lines of grease pink ladies but I'm sure it been done lots of times before, so any ideas please let us know :)

    Once again a massive thank you! Sorry for the long post xxxxxx

    Send your mum my love also hugs to all the family (((X)))

    So then get from A on an APG (2 for £3.00 at T, so £2.70 after APG) and use 2 of the Velvet MOCs of 50p each.

    Would work out at £1.70 for 8 rolls, or 21p per roll ;)





    I printed the Velvet MOCs about 6 months ago on all my computers and it's never let the print anymore. I don't suppose there's a workaround I don't know about is there?

    Lots of love and hugs to you and your mum toni.

    I thought I'd donated last night but I woke up this morning to an email saying that it hadn't gone through because I'd not verified my card- the verification thing was a blank page :mad:

    I was going to do it today from work but events have overtaken me somewhat :(

    Please can someone remind me when I come back from my hols to do it from my laptop?
