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

I love to see this!

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 21/01/2006 19:11

my dh thinks its lovely, and if my girls were older, i would be off to see her myself, but with them being so tiny, it just isnt practical.

I told dh all about this, and he thinks I am barking, I think he thinks Mumsnet is a soap opera and it's not real.

Interested in this thread?

QE2 · 21/01/2006 19:14

Well, I have been keeping dh updated as me and spacecadet have met up a couple of times and talk now and again on msn.

He too thinks MN is a fantasy world that bears no resemblance to the real world at all!

Meanoldmummy · 21/01/2006 19:16

My dh thinks Mars and LGJ are lovely...and that spacecadet's H is a selfish arsehole.

spacecadet · 21/01/2006 19:16

spacecadet · 21/01/2006 19:19

im a little worried that they may have seen through my disguise and sussed that i was in fact a trucker called bob.

QE2 · 21/01/2006 19:19

spacecadet!! Yes, very real!

Give me a ring tomorrow if you need a chat, won't you? Or msn me, whatever.

Spacecadet, it is cr*p to hear about all you are going through, but this thread is turning out to be very heart-warming indeed

Hiya Bob

It was great meeting you and your darling children today.

LGJ hopes that the shaving rash has gone now (from your arms and chin lol).

Hope the kids enjoyed the cake. If you search archives you'll find the recipe or I'll email it once I'm home.

Take care (she's dictating again) and look after yourself.

GO TO BED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DD1... you are GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DS1.... am I glad I'm not a pre teen and that my DD1 hasn't met you. What a heartbreaker!!!!!!!!!!!
DS2.....yummy yummy yummy!!!
DD2.... do you wanna live with me?

spacecadet · 21/01/2006 20:40

Mars
i will pack their cases immediately and put them on a train!
shaving rash is slowly going down, but ive got 5 o clock shadow now!
i will search archives for the recipe for your cake which is dissapearing quickly.

he has just packed.

Mar's Cake will be published in my Cookbook and will be FAMOUS! I am looking at the proof now, very excited, will be sending it back to the publisher on Monday.
