Hi,

Im sorry I only just saw this post! Is there anything in particular they still need? My nan just passed away and had some useful things which will otherwise possibly just go to waste, and I am trying to fit two houses into one at the moment as just bought a house with my fiancee, so may have some stuff available, clothes, books, knick knacks, bedding etc. would have to have a clear out (but really need to do that anyway ). Dont want to just send them a load of useless stuff though, so if they need specific stuff then let me know, and I may have it lying around :)

Sorry l forgot to write up this since last week! (age l guess)

On saturday l went over to see Robb and co. He too me round to Pauline and the family who had on Friday moved into their house.

My short stay and chat means l got there about 16:00 and didn't leave till about 21:30.They were over the moon. The night before the Rhodesian group had taken round some cupboards and chairs and other items they also paid for their cooker and washing machine. Some one had donated them a fridge.

Their daughter had a friend over for the evening that ended up staying for the night and they were running around screaming, laughing and locking each other out. Pauline said she couldn't remember when she last time heard her daughter laugh and behave like a child and she was almost in trears she was so happy.

Pat (Paulines husband) insisted Wibble on the sofa and sat cuddling her. He was most insulted when l said that she would put hairs on it and l was told to basically button up. While Wibble rolled her eyes at me with that should have kept your mouth shut look.

Pauline and Pat and Robb have asked me to pass on their sincere thanks to everyone who has been so generous, it has been overwhelming for them.

Just a quick update. Pauline and family have had a letter from the council confirming they do have the house. It is a small 2 bedroom flat and they are over the moon, Pauline says a palace is nothing like as special as the new house.

She also asked me to pass on her scincere thanks for all help that everyone has offered they are not rarely stunned to silence but they have been over all the offer. Robb says she has cried several times.

Paula if you are sure you are able to send any bits that would be wonderful but l know that you are having a lot of problems so l understand your situation whatever happen. And to every one else many thanks for anything Fi did you get my message with my home details on? I will also get you my details Miss Vetnurse sorry l lost track of things. I have been mainly logging during work breaks last few days when home am rushiung round half asleep nearly ready for work.

Many thanks

Carolyn, that is very thoughtful of you, thanks

However, I am ashamed to say I had completely forgotten about this with everything that has been going on at home, but I have tonight, emailed Robb and told him I am more than happy to post a smallish parcel across. Thinking along the lines of nic-nacs, ornaments, pictures, possibly some bedclothes. I am having a clearout this weekend so I should have a lot of stuff needing a good home at the end of it all!

Now if that works out Fi, I could bring stuff to you, it would be an excuse for a visit

Re: Help Please

Fiona Leathers — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 13:04:44 GMT

I'm in Central Scotland so will be driving down M6 to get to Birmingham.

Re: Help Please

Caro Laithwaite VN — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 12:12:12 GMT

Fi not sure where you are l am near muddy manchester just off the M6 (as per eddie stobart sightings hehehe) if l was not home stuff can be dropped at petmedics.. if l wasn't here l would probably be there working!.

Little Miss depends where you are whichever would be easier for you. If nearer Derby then probably easier to go via go via Robb.

If that is any help to anyone? if so shoot me a message l and l will get you my phone number n address n petmedics details as well.

Fiona Leathers — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 11:52:42 GMT

Caro I'm driving down to BSAVA in a couple of weeks - are you close by? I could bring anything from folks up here, save on postage.

Re: Help Please

Sandra Taylor RVN, MBVNA — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 11:29:25 GMT

Hi Caro, it's not a problem at all. Once I get things together I will contact your friend via e mail and I will post them down. I will have a good clear out this weekend.

Re: Help Please

Claire Cameron — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 09:26:38 GMT

I'll have a scout around see if I can help at all.

Could we send things to you @ Pet Medics or should we post directly to Robb?x

Re: Help Please

Caro Laithwaite VN — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 08:56:38 GMT

ST that would be fantastic but so long as folks are not stretching themselves and it has to be got to derby.

I have just spoken to Robb. His sister Pauline will be over the moon if you can liaise with Robb to do any deliveries and for addresses etc. Robb's email is mandebvhu@ntlworld.com

I am going down that way in June and will be seeing Robb so am able to take some small items down with me if anyone up this way wants to get anything to them.

Robb asked me to pass on their effuse thanks he can not get over how wonderful everyone has been offering help. His sister has been worrying about how they will sort anything out even if they have their own house eventually as she has been unable to find a job yet with the wonderful times, they are not able to ask for any state aid as not been here long enough and Pat her husband is not able to do anything because of his disabilities. And the 13year old is at school, although she has actually being transfered to the gifted class and spends 2 days a week at the college. If l understand correctly she wants to do forensics.

Re: Help Please

Sandra Taylor RVN, MBVNA — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 00:12:07 GMT

Caro, do they need clothes for the 13 yr old??? aqs you know I have 2 teens, and they are selfish......... not that they know it, but they have plenty of things they have not even worn

Caro Laithwaite VN — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 00:00:48 GMT
