I don"t think I could , however , she is a very empathetic and caring person. We absolutly adore her.

Nonu.

No need for thanks. How I agree with you. Teenagers are so vulnerable, they need all the help they can get don't they. It is the actions of the people like your daughter and the charity she works for that are the only decent human contact some of these kids have. I guess the hope upon hope is "If we can just show one child kindness and care he/she might carry the same attitude forward in their life, we will have won"

I bet it can get a bit heated at times as well though. Certainly not a job everyone could handle!.

Pogs on their behalf Thank you . The thing is in this day and age these charities are so important, with family break ups etc. smile

Nonu.

How pleasing for them all. I bet they were gob smacked to think anyone was taking notice, let alone looking at rewarding them for the care and love they obviously give.

It is such a nice story and I bet it has really made them feel good about themselves, quite right too.

Soop x thanks they really do work hard with these disadvantaged teenagers. A lot of it is very sad ,she doesn"t tell me but I can make guesses .

soop Mon 10-Sept-12 14:21:11

Nonu Well done, indeed. smile

Further to my earlier post this year , when I told you my Daughter had been invited to garden party at sandringham , the Charity has now been chosen as Charity of the year by Sainsbury"s ,so well done all of them [sunshine smile]

A very nice dress , with "Wedge Heels " have photos of her , but as I may or may not have mentioned , we where actually away in U.S. so didn"t get to see her in the outfit.

Sook Sat 04-Aug-12 19:19:33

Nonu What did she wear?

merlotgran Sat 04-Aug-12 18:47:46

JO4 Sat 04-Aug-12 18:38:57

I'll bet! smile

Nonu Sat 04-Aug-12 18:34:20

Thank you , we were looking at all the pictures and I think it bought it back to her what a special and wonderful day it was .

JO4 Sat 04-Aug-12 18:25:49

That's really nice Nonu. Lucky DD. smile

Here's one from me flag

Nonu Sat 04-Aug-12 17:54:41

Hope you will forgive me for bringing this up again , I mentioned my DD had been invited to Sandringham , she came round this afternoon for visit and with her she bought a book of the days events . It was so lovely , it really was.flag

Jacey...good tip..........this is definately the place for wedge shoes....cant stand them myself but on grass ordinary heels are a disaster!

Oh and congratulations Nonu, you must be very proud of your daughter.

Nonu Sun 22-Apr-12 15:07:31

Oh I get it now , I re-read your post smile

Jacey Sun 22-Apr-12 15:00:29

Nonu ...as in ...I really like Sandringham smile

Nonu Sun 22-Apr-12 14:44:32

Jacy , ??? "like" ?? I am puzzled or thick help megrin

Nonu Sun 22-Apr-12 14:41:19

Glassortwo you are spot on , her first remark after telling us was "what am going to wear ? " smile

Jacey Sun 22-Apr-12 14:36:16

And of course the word 'like' is missing!! shock

Jacey Sun 22-Apr-12 14:35:24

That's lovely news sunshine
I really Sandringham ... but just remind her it will probably be held on grass, so she'll need to think carefully about footwear ...none of those currently fashionable 6" heels or she'll get stuck in the grass.
Oh ...and don't get too close the swans with a plate of nibbles!

grannyactivist Sun 22-Apr-12 14:35:04

What a lovely outing to anticipate. I'm sure your daughter will enjoy the day and it will be a wonderful acknowledgement of the work she does.

glassortwo Sun 22-Apr-12 14:28:30

nonu your DD must be so excited, has she picked something nice to wear?
I am sure she will let you know all about her day. sunshine

Nonu Sun 22-Apr-12 14:08:33

smile This is nothing to do with anything really , its just I had to tell you that my DD who"s the manager of a drop in centre for disadvantaged teenagers (it has charity status ) has been invited to sandringham in June to meet the queen at a garden party because as you probably know she is trying in this jubilee year to meet people from all walks of life . As you can imagine DD is sooo excited as indeed I am . The only thing is I will be in the U.S so won"t be able to hear from her how it all went still I guess email will have to do .
