1) So after Amanda's health hiccup on Tuesday/Wednesday, she's back on form, back to usual, thanks for your concern. We've agreed that she stays on steroids daily. There's a long term issue with remaining on them, but in our world, there is no "long term" so this pretty much negates that argument.
2) So, the excitement is building for Sunday. It's amazing that in just over 2 days, an extra £800+ has gone towards some pretty special charities close to Amanda's heart. We've been doing our best to send everyone messages on Facebook thanking you all for your donations but if we have missed sending you a message, please accept this as our thanks smile emoticon We set a tentative target of £3,000 - if we beat that, don't stop donating - the more we can raise, the better we can make things for ALL these charities. If you can't make it along this coming Sunday, you can still donate here: https://www.justgiving.com/teams/amandamcdonald
If you ARE attending, there is limited on street parking around The Church and neighbouring snooker hall on Town Road too.
3) There are some slots to see Amanda next week (Tuesday 17th afternoon , Wednesday 18th late afternoon, Thursday 19th late afternoon, Friday 20th mid afternoon if anyone would like to visit. Message me if you'd like to call in.
4) ** SPECIAL REQUEST NUMBER 1**
To Amanda's friends - we're respectfully requesting that NO Christmas cards are sent through to us please - have you ever noticed that Amanda doesn't send any back? smile emoticon Joking aside, instead of sending cards and the cost of a stamp, please consider a donation instead to one of the charities we've been banging on about for the past couple of weeks here: https://www.justgiving.com/teams/amandamcdonald (Price of card & stamp = £1+ so make that a nice donation to Douglas Macmillan Hospice, Meningitis Now or The Migraine Trust instead please).
5) **SPECIAL REQUEST NUMBER 2**
To Amanda's friends - obviously this is going to be a different Christmas to usual. Amanda would like her friends to give experiences that you can enjoy together rather than presents. (e.g. spa visits, afternoon teas, cinema visits, comedy clubs, theatre visits etc etc). She'd love to spend time with her friends rather than have presents. Contact Dean for diary availability. While we'll be governed by Amanda's condition on this, it's best to assume these should be booked sooner rather than later.
Thanks all - here's a completely different time and place a couple of years ago B.C. (Before Cancer).
