Making hay while the sun shines and always adoring Beatrice.

[cupofteaplease]

I have chosen the thread title this time, because current circumstances means the sun isn't always shining for Beatrice at the moment. Indeed, she is currently in hospital in a fair amount of discomfort. However, when the sun does shine, and we have bright and clear days, we pack in as much as we can.

When we brought Beatrice home from SCBU, we had the consultant's words ringing in our ears, 'Take her home and make some memories.' I feel confident and proud that we have made a treasure trove of memories, however long Beatrice's life may be. She continues to be surrounded by so much love and adoration from her family and I feel this love has helped her to thrive.

During the difficult days, such as these, we pray hard for peace and calm, and for a quick resolution so we can take our darling girl home and make even more precious memories with our beautiful Beatrice.

As with all other threads, same rules apply , read if you want to, post if you can, but above all, please spare some positive thoughts or prayers for Beatrice.

HQ whip round too?

I'm sorry, you are right of course MNHQ. Perhaps it's better to take my PayPal address off. I don't want people feeling obliged. Perhaps I should start a new Beatrice thread as this one is nearly full anyway, and leave this episode in the past. Feel terrible now. Sorry again x

No cup it's honestly fine. HQ have to put that disclaimer on any thread which involves money.

WE asked you to let us help you.

Now you behave yourself missus!

I've sent some money over .. Can we put this in chat with a link to bea story do you think?

Leave the PayPal address!!

Thanks cup.

Leave address!!

I am so shocked at the message from MNHQ. I know the point they are trying to make but fgs this is a MN that everyone knows, a baby that everyone loves and they are in a really really really diffucult situation.

Cup - do not apologise. People know you are genuine and want to help. If they can't give physically then financially is often the only way they go show their support and love.

As long as you are happy to have your RL name (I presume?) in Virtual Land, then there si no need to change anything at all.
I am sure MNHQ will have an office whip-round too

Our Annus Horribilis was 2004 when I spent 7 weeks in hospital prior to DS2's premature birth, sold a house, bought a house, moved house and I returned to work all within the same 6 months. I still have flashbacks.

So, really, sympathies, hugs, a few quid will follow - I hope this will help to get some hired muscle on board.

Agree LEAVE IT!! We all offered to help you. I am a little brassic myself (understatement!) until payday but would like to contribute then and you can use it for food, hospital car park fees, something new for the house for all I care! Just take all the help on offer.

No please keep it up. MNHQ have to follow guidelines but if they were worried they would remove it themselves.
I hope it's ok I have posted on prayer thread too as others are asking how to help.

Thank you for your support. Beatrice's new thread is here

Have sent a small contribution. Please use it for whatever you want.

MNHQ didn't mean to take your email address down - although you may choose to after a while, I think they were just doing their job.

Good luck with everything especially for Bea xx

Really wish I could have given more, but hopefully the 'MN collective' is able to help a little to make the move less stressful for you all.
Take care

bumping for support to cup and family xx
