    Good grief Helen, I'm so sorry your family is having such a bad time at the moment. Keep your chin up! I do hope things start improving in your world soon.
  • Hi Helen I hope your mum makes a quick recover and as well as the physical injuries she recovers from the shock of it too!

    #2 update

    another £100.00.......creeping ever closer, although I fear it will be needed for some car repairs in a few days (handbrake, tyres, bulbs & a front clunking noise :( )

    for now my new total is £7770.42 aka 89.32%

    Helen sending you thoughts after your Mum's fall.

    Everyone else is doing so incredibly well, so a big shout out to you all :T

    keep on keeping on

    Dobbi :D
