MN Christmas appeal- are the emails out yet?

[shootfromthehip]

Was just wondering if the appeal was sorted out yet (I understand that this must be a massive undertaking)? Was a bit worried that my email has got lost but obviously if it's not all matched up yet then I'll sit tight.

Has anyone heard anything?

oh yes - I was wondering this as well the other day.

also not heard anything! That's good to know, other people haven't either

Cool so it doesn't look as though it's just me then! Don't want to seem pushy- just wondered.

I've actually been organise and got my contribution all ready to send once I get details (this is quite an achievement for me LOL).

I was thinking the same, I can't start on mine till I hear from Norma.

I've not heard either. I think she said we'd all hear by 1st December! Hope its asap as I'm abroad so will take me longer to sort

Is it too late to sign up??

Thank you!

Mum overseas people on here (me included) prefer people not to use the retarded word, I understand its usual in some countries but just thought you may want to be aware.

They're still ssearching for ahrd to locate addresses from what I have heard. Someone elsewhere said its all out on the 2nd dec

Oh FGS peachy. I was talking about myself and my lack of IT skills. Absolutely no need for you to take offence to that. I am not stupid and was not insulting anyone. Don't patronise me

Its a word I hate, and I will flag it up whren I see it. There are people who would (understandably) get far angrier if they saw it so was offering fair warning without being nasty. It's also commonly used in America and some Americans don't know it will upset so its fair to mention without getting funny about it.

Its a hate word for disabled kids, I loathe it and I would not associate with people in RL who use it. There you go, not patronising but straight.

peachy MOS is lovely and I am sure she has realised she has used the wrong word(and it is wrong)

yes, I was wondering about this too.

This is the last thing I have to buy....come on Fletch!

I haven't heard anything yet.. any news?

she posted a thread yesterday (I think?) apologising for the delay, she's not been well and some unthinking people/person gave her some full time work - tsk tsk
