Hi All, been putting this thread off as I haven't been able to face the reality and finality of it. Anyway, here it is.

I am going to get YANBU in flowers (possibly bright yellow - any other colour suggestions are welcome?) and take them along to the funeral of CTK. It would be lovely if there was lots of MN names to add to the chorus.

If you would like me to add your username then please post on this thread. (Some people have already pm'd me so they are already there - but can post below too of course if they wish). If you want to add a little message i am also happy to add that as well.

I shall take photos of the flowers and post them after the funeral. Cheers lovelies.

Hugs always welcome Married. I don't feel doing this is a chore in any way tho, i am honoured to do so, i just wish to god it wasn't necessary tho.

I also feel i owe it to MN to say thanks for all the wonderful support i have had over the last 7 years. MN continues to get me thru some really dark times and CTK was one of the people who make it a fantastic place. We met thru MN so i feel it's fitting i organise this for her.

She will be saying 'i can't believe i've achieved a unanimous YANBU, shame i had to die to do it! You're all a bunch of lovely vipers'

QOD what a lovely thing to say Flowers

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 03/09/2017 15:31

MrsK, you are doing her proud. A unanimous YANBU is a mystical and amazing thing Flowers

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 03/09/2017 15:32

Mythical... I meant mythical. At least my autocorrect is vaguely sensical.

RustyBear · 03/09/2017 15:32

Please add my name. A lovely poster, gone too soon. Flowers

SeamstressfromTreacleMineRoad · 04/09/2017 12:30

If it's not too late, I'd be very grateful if you would add my name. Thank you for doing this - it can't have been easy in any way... Flowers

AdoraBell · 04/09/2017 12:32

Yes, please add my name.

Spuddington · 04/09/2017 12:40

Please add me. It still doesn't feel real.

CTK dragged me out of the darkness once. Her posts were so wonderful. I'm reading this and shedding tears over all the love for such a wonderful lady.

BertieBotts · 04/09/2017 12:43

Can you add me please?

Germgirl · 04/09/2017 12:43

If there's still room could I please be added?
CTK will be sadly missed by so many. Thank you for doing this. Flowers

Whywonttheyletmeusemyusername · 04/09/2017 12:58

I just want to say how very sorry I was to read this news. In the nicest possible way, I don't want to be added to the card, as I haven't been here long enough to warrant it, but you are all so wonderful, and your messages are such a wonderful testament to somebody that was obviously so very close to all your hearts. And OP, this is such a lovely thing to do. I wish I had known her xx

LineysRun · 04/09/2017 13:04

Please add me, and thank you. Just 'Liney', thanks.

I haven't known what to say for a while, since I heard. But I did book DS in for a meningitis jab before he goes away to university. And we'll make a donation.

doggyg · 04/09/2017 15:21

Can you add me too, please? Flowers

AlpacaPicnic · 04/09/2017 16:18

I hope it's not too late to be added to the list.

I like to hope that CTK is stealing cats wherever her soul may be XXX

MsHooliesCardigan · 04/09/2017 17:03

Please can you add me if it's not too late?
When is the funeral?

SweetBabyJebus · 04/09/2017 19:35

So delighted to see the Just Giving page has reached the £1,000 target, and indeed surpassed it!

CatThiefKeith would no doubt be utterly thrilled at the generosity you guys have shown.

I think we've done her proud.

If anyone still wants to donate, go ahead. Every penny helps to help fight Meningitis.

TheSassyAssassin · 04/09/2017 19:41

That's fantastic news! And huge bunch of Flowers for you SBJ for getting this going! Definitely done her proud xx

StandardPoodle · 04/09/2017 19:51

Thank you for doing this MrsKoala. Could you add me please?
CTK was one of the first posters whose name I "recognised" and her warmth shone through her threads and posts.

robindeer · 04/09/2017 22:42

Another little prompt for anyone else who wishes to donate- www.justgiving.com/fundraising/catthiefkeith

ohfourfoxache · 05/09/2017 03:14

MrsK your comment about a unanimous YANBU has just made me literally laugh out loud and shed a happy tear. That really is so the type of thing I'd expect Keith to write Grin

How are you holding up?

Elllicam · 05/09/2017 03:20

If it's not too late could you add me too please? Xx

fightingirish · 05/09/2017 03:37

Me too please Star

SouthWindsWesterly · 05/09/2017 04:14

Could you also put my name on there MrsK? How are you holding up? She was funny and witty, unique and irreplaceable. CTK will be missed

FeralBeryl · 05/09/2017 04:15

I'd like to be added if possible MrsK also would love to donate if you want to pm me when you can. Thank you, you beautiful soul.

SBJ smashing past the total! Off to spam everywhere to encourage donations. Thank you so much for starting Flowers
