essbee's 10,000 ft skydive (AAAAARGH) for Lottie

Am taking the liberty of mentioning that essbee has to send £110 by June 30th to take part in the sponsored skydive for the DSA with Thomcat - she needs to raise this amount quickly so if anyone can contribute towards her costs upfront it will help to guarantee that she can do the jump and raise lots of spondoolicks (???) for Lottie & Co.

If you send essbee a CAT she can give you her name & address to send her a cheque!

SoupDragon · 14/08/2004 13:56

Definitely down and safe - she sounded completely high on adrenaline! Thomcat has another hour or so before her jump.

Just made a donation - you'll never match up my name as I used dp's. Maybe you will now I've said that.

WELL DONE!!! You are both so brave!!!!

Dingle · 14/08/2004 17:57

oh, Essbee, well done!!

I was there, got there at about 10-10.30. Briefly met TC, wish I'd organised it better but wasn't really sure I could get there. It was only about 15 miles from where we live, so we thought we could take a quick visit before we attempt to lay a new patio. Thank goodness the weather changed for you! Yesterday was terrible- our so called patio looked like a mud bath and I was thinking of you. Was going to post last night, but I thought if I mentioned the weather it might freak you out!!( I know it would have for me)
I'm so sorry I didn't meet you, we were there for an hour or so but kiddies were getting a bit restlest and dh was getting a bit twitchy over all the work he had ( and still has) to do in the garden!!
A big well done to you.

Well done essbee. You should be very proud of yourself. Is Thomcat down safe and sound too ?

Metrobaby · 14/08/2004 19:50
