#### Please let's support Spacecadet ##########

Spacecadet is currently having to deal with more than anyone should ever have to deal with in a lifetime.

She has experienced over the last few months a stillbirth, serious illness, looking after with no help a house full of children and a consequence a husband who has walked out.

Please can we do something positive and practical to help spacey out over the next few months.

Lovely mumsnet have said that they will give out the details of their po box address so that any of us that feel so generously inclined could rustle up a few quid to go into a nanny fund or an au pair fund or so that we can find a company that make lovely homemade food and deliver it to her every week.

Please support me on this - If everyone gave just £1 we'd be able to offer some amazing help to SC.

I'm sorry Spacey if you are angry with me for starting this thread - I know you are proud and you have coped admirably with everything - but please just accept that we want to help.

I will post details of who to make cheque payable to and where to send it, just as soon as I have the details. In the meantime, please look behind your cushions on your sofa and in the bottom of your handbag amongst the fluff to dig out those coins.

Thank you so much
DHW

Marslady, I don't know why I can't get through to you but DesperatehouseWife has given me her address to send my cheque to.

Interested in this thread?

I'm glad you got the address Bugsy2. Maybe we are just not compatible? Either that or I'll get it tomorrow. lol

Thanks for the address Mars, will get it in the post tomorrow. SC - I'm a great believer in "what goes around comes around" so he'll get exactly what he deserves. (((((hugs))))

Here's our PO box for those who'd like to send a cheque. Apologies in advance, though, we won't be able to collect for a couple of weeks as person in charge of it is on hols with the ID card.

Well done DHW for organising.

LadySherlockofLGJ · 19/01/2006 22:58

Oh Spacey, you lucky girl..........

I was making a chilli for you, and my mobile hairmesser, who is as gay as Christmas, took over the cooking of your chilli, if it tastes yack, it is his fault, if it is divine I was telling him what to do......
