    What's the Red Pen Club?

    Excuse my ignorance but due to PC problems haven't been able to go on forums until recently...

    Every time you get an application form for any loan, credit card etc write MSE across it in HUGE red letters then send it to them at their expense in their pre-paid envelope.
    If enough of us do it, they'll start to take notice!


    Back from doc's by the way, the blood test that I had to have REPEATED because they did it wrong never reached the lab so I have to have it done AGAIN!!!!!!!!!angry-smiley-1497.gif
    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Linda that would really annoy me if they'd lost it... I remember I once had to have blood tests FIVE times because of a series of minor errors
    a) they had the wrong date of birth
    b) name spelt wrong
    c) name and date of birth wrong
    d) not stored properly so blood had 'gone off'

    I wasn't a happy bunny - was worried I'd be in an accident and the pathologist would think I was a druggie with all the needle marks in my arm!

    Hi Linda, finishing off the first year of my degree which was really one long final hurdle of 8000 words, but it went in yesterday and I'm all done :D
    What have I missed around here?

    Hi everybody! :hello:

    Just wanted to say hello, as I haven't been around for a while. Everything's been up in the air for a bit while I try and get my uni stuff sorted.

    So has there been any goss? Who's run away with who? I need to know these things! :drool:

    I heard Lenny set up his own harem in Devon with all the MSE girls! :grouphug:

    I also trust that the parties have been good in my absence. _party_ I will be resuming parties soon (as I know all you ladies have missed me!:dance: )

    Coolio - I'll liberate a red pen from work and join in on that one then. My aunt used to do something similar - tear up all the flyers etc and put them in the prepaid 'Yes' envelope and send it back!

    You've been through quite a bit this year already - hope the second lot of tests go through and you get an answer. My Mum's been through the wringer medically over the last 18months and I've seen how drained she is from the worry. You don't know me from Adam but I'm sending a big mental hug your way anyway!
