Guest EType69 Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) In October my ex wife died at Papworth Hospital, Cambs. She'd had a double lung transplant but sadly due to post op infections she didn't get the second chance we'd all hoped for. On 25th January I've organised an All-Dayer at The Fairways Club in Welwyn. This is a free event but I'm looking for raffle prizes & auction items so as to raise money for the British Lung Foundation. Donations have already been recieved/promised from Pete Smith, Sean Chapman, Toby & wigan-casino.co.uk. More details of this event are in Events Talk. If any of you feel you can help in any way please contact me via pm, phone (07740 594902) or through this thread. Many thanks for taking the time to read this & a very Merry Christmas to you & yours.

chrissie Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I didn't get any christmas presents this year Snap QoFxx
Pete S Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Snap QoFxx Well actually thats not strictly true, my Mom & Dad bought me a mailbox (too small for records) for what reason I do not know as I already have a perfectly good one, it was probably because it was half price, anyway I gave it them back and told them to spend the money on themselves...
Guest EType69 Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I didn't get any christmas presents this year Good job I got your contribution before Christmas then Pete. Thanks again and I hope your Christmas wasn't as bad as you feared.
Guest EType69 Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Well actually thats not strictly true, my Mom & Dad bought me a mailbox (too small for records) for what reason I do not know as I already have a perfectly good one, it was probably because it was half price, anyway I gave it them back and told them to spend the money on themselves... On the subject of parents, my Dad rung yesterday morning to say he'd won £1/4 million on the thunderball, he wanted to give us 50k because he knows we've had a bit of a struggle this last year. I told him to double check his ticket........He rung back 10 minutes later to say he'd actualy won 40 quid.
Guest EType69 Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 A great response so far. Among other things, we have for auction a weekend in a luxury appartment in the Lake District & a mint copy of the Chris Myers 45 Fire Burns / Sweetest Greatest Guy. If anyone else can help out please get in touch.
Guest EType69 Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Just a few more days to go now so if you've promised something & you won't be there on the day please get it to me this week. Big thank you again to everyone who's donated. Steve
