3 DAYS TO GO!

GP has cleared me as fit to dive!

mutter mutter, stupid gp,

Any last minute donations welcome?!?!?!

Fangache · 06/10/2005 15:26

Right this is bugging me!

A girl I work with.... and my boss who has just come back from honeymoon won't sponsor me! Like pointblank refused!!! How stupid did I feel???? Why would they be so rude? Even £2 would have saved me from feeling like a prat and just walking away.

That's mean. My company matches any money in sponsorship things, v generous.

Mention that in passing loudly one day when they are near, that will shame £1 out of them.

Gawd I wish my company would do that!

This is Fangaches DH here.

Fangache was eaten by a Sand Tiger Shark at 5pm yesterday.

It was quick and relatively painless once Tinkerbell (largest female shark) bit her head clean off.

The kids were watching and enjoyed every minute of it as they thought it was part of the show.... ah the innocence.

Anyway, I'm off now to cash in the life insurance and pack for Barbados.

On behalf of Fangache I would like to thank you for your donations.

Fangache · 10/10/2005 09:42

Doesn't anyone CARE that Fangache has been eaten????????

Bewitched · 10/10/2005 10:28

We're too distraught to find the right words.

Please accept our condolences on your loss, and our congratulations on cashing in the life insurance .

Fangache · 10/10/2005 10:30

Bewithed - Thank you. We're bearing up fine. The new 51" Plasma Screen TV is helping cheer the kids up.

Bewitched · 10/10/2005 10:40

How lovely that they'll be able to watch the video of mummy over and over again on the big screen.

If you need someone to take to Barbados with you for company, then please do let me know - always happy to oblige.

Fangache · 10/10/2005 10:42

Fangache did mention that you and her had huge similarities.... so perhaps you would be able to replace her quite adequately. Kids might not even notice.

Bewitched · 10/10/2005 10:45

You might just need to explain to them why their 'new' mummy is looking 5.5 months pregnant, but I'm sure they will be delighted to have another sibling on the way .

Fangache · 10/10/2005 10:46

Ah... sorry... wasn't aware you were damaged goods.

Bewitched · 10/10/2005 10:55

Guess I'll unpack my suitcase again then. Didn't really fancy Barbados anyway - diving opportunities are better in Caymans.

gingerbear · 10/10/2005 14:30

So toothy, did you endure or enjoy?
Big well done too.

Fangache · 10/10/2005 14:32

All joking aside it was the BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE! Apart from having my children. I would do that again and again. It was utterly amazing.

When I get a photo on the PC I'll post it. Thoroughly recommend it and will definitely be doing it again (although not for charity).

gingerbear · 10/10/2005 14:49

I am glad you enjoyed it. It is the most awsome experience isn't it?
I miss diving so much. Before DD all our cash and spare time was devoted to warm azure seas.....
