    CF is pretty widespread in my family so I know how tough it must be to get stuff done. Really inspiring stuff Emz! :beer:

    Keep it going!

    Hi Panda :)

    Hope everyone who has it in your family is doing well. Fortunately I'm the only one to have it in my family - my sister wasn't affected (not even a carrier).

    Thanks for subscribing and take care

    My sister has just set up a just giving page for donations to CF. As I told Emzilla before, we were all devastated when my neice had a baby boy in February and a few weeks later he was diagnosed. Reading Emzillas posts made me feel more positive about his future. If you want to have a look at the page and see the baby here's the link. They did a sponsored toddle ( walk with toddlers) to raise money. I'm not asking people here to donate, although it would be nice if anyone could pass the link on. Thank you. Hope it's ok to post this link.

    Aww, he's adorable!! Definitely a little fighter :). Your sister's right, CF doesn't get that much in way of donations - not when you compare to other charities anyway.

    I can't afford to give anything just yet, but when I get paid on Friday, I'll go back and make a donation.

  • Thank you Emzilla but I really wasn't asking. I just wanted to pass the link on. I feel awful now. I'm not on Facebook on any other social media website so can't pass it on anywhere. Many thanks and take care xx

    Afternoon :)

    Quiet day yesterday - just went to my sister's for lunch and stayed most of the afternoon. Went out with friends for a drink last night (only spent £8).

    We've got the cinema today (seeing Begin Again). Wish it was tomorrow as it means I'm going to miss Andy Murray's match :( - "there's more to life than tennis.....there's more to life than tennis" (I'm hoping the movie will be so good that I forget all about it - but I doubt it).
