AIBU to think some MNers are gits?

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

Ha! Got your attention. Pretty much the only way I could get people to find the way to this hidden topic of mystery, the petitions and online campaigns topic.

This year I spent 3 months in a psychiatric hospital. It was incredibly shit for a whole raft of reasons from being horrendously ill, right through to the utterly vile crap they served as food. The worst bit, though, was the impact it had on my children. They really, really suffered. The only thing that made it better for them was that I was close by.

They've now closed the hospital to women. Just women. Not men, they still get local care, but if I got ill now I'd be shipped off an hours drive away from where I live.

So a few of the women where I live have started a campaign. We've been doing pretty well, but we need more support.

If you can spare a moment of your time to sign our petition, we'd be grateful. It's here - www.change.org/p/lancashire-care-nhs-foundation-trust-return-local-inpatient-care-to-the-women-of-north-lancashire

I'm posting this in my usual posting name so I don't get accused of being a fricking spammer again.

MWAH xx

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

These are the words of the real people affected by the closure.

signed

[funchum8am]

Done! Good luck

[NormaStanleyFletcher]

Did I mention that I signed (not bumping, oh no , not at all)

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

Did you sign Norma? Thank you for reminding me in a completely non-bumpy way

Did you know that every time someone signs, a beautiful butterfly emerges from it's chrysalis and kisses ladybirds?

Totally true.

[CheckpointCharlie]

Signed for you keema I remember chatting with you a couple of years ago and think of you when I see you pop up on threads. X

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

Thanks checkpoint :)

Absolutely every signature helps us.

[GloomBands]

Signed. Hopefully I've freed a fairy and released some snowflakes too.

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

Thank you. Definitely some snowflakes created. I have it on good authority that it's snowing in Montreal right now.

[PuffinsAreFicticious]

Just checking that people are still signing.

Not bumping though, no not me, because we frown on that sort of hunnery.

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

Totally right, Puffins. No more signatures, but I can promise that the polar icecaps are reforming as we speak from people's generosity so far.

[magimedi]

Thanks for that pic, Keema - and BUMP!

[NormaStanleyFletcher]

Trying so hard not to bump this. It's like the instruction to not press the big red button....








Oops.

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

Thanks, but I think that I've probably caught out everyone with the title now. Shame as we're 21 short of 300 signatures and I do like a round number.

I can post pics again now and I'm prepared to unleash a duckling kitten and puppy montage if it does the biz.

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

Thanks to Mumsnetters, we had 100 extra signatures on the petition over the weekend.

Thank you to everyone who signed it, or tried to sign it. Each signature genuinely helps our cause and we'd like to pass on our heartfelt thanks to everyone who took the time to help us out.

[WankingInAWinterWonderland]

I signed yesterday but I'm not bumping this thread

[MrsCakesPrecognition]

Only a git would bump this thread, right?

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

Absolutely. Only gits bump threads, so I'm glad that neither of you are doing that as I'm sure you're totally un git-like.

[MovingOnUpMovingOnOut]

Signed.

Definitely thin end of the wedge.

[Germgirl]

I'm most definitely a git. So I've signed.

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

Thank you MovingOnUp and Germgirl.

By signing, you made this ducking swim.

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

Duckling not ducking.

[WankingInAWinterWonderland]

What a cute duckling

not being a git and bumping for night time

[HaroldLloyd]

I think I might be a bit of a git.

[Poofus]

Signed.
