Only Good News

Excellent news, sook!

Sook....

Good news today is that I am off to a patchwork workshop with a couple of friends.

Lovely news sook, pleased for you.

The good news here is I can see some sunshine squeezing through grey clouds!

Sook fantastc news

It's a crisp, sunny mornng here. A bit chilly for doing the garden, which is frozen, but it's great to see the sunshine

sook That's very good news. I know how frightening it is when your sight is threatened, as my diabetic son is slowly losing his vision and has regular laser/implants/injections.
Thankfully, the rest of him is remarkably healthy

Sook

I'm delighted for you, Sook...sight is very precious.

Enjoying everyone's good news. Here is another bit, which proves we CAN make a difference. I got this e.mail this afternoon -

^Two weeks ago Steve started a petition asking Lego to drop their partnership with The Sun while the paper still carried topless pictures on page 3.

He had been inspired by Lucy's No More Page 3 campaign (that you've signed) and was appalled that Lego were advertising toys right next to images of topless women.

Over 12,000 people joined him and on Thursday The Guardian reported that Lego had said last week's promotion would be its last, acknowledging the pressure that the petition had.

Lucy said "Steve's campaign shows that if you feel passionately that something isn't right, chances are you're not the only one, and if you speak out, you really can affect change! This sends The Sun a strong message that it's time to end Page 3."

Keep supporting the No More Page 3 campaign by sharing this link with your friends change.org/nomorepage3 or if there's something you want to change you can start your own campaign just like Steve & Lucy have done here.

Thanks,

Brie and the Change.org team^

My grand-daughter has got into the seven finalists in a Love Story competition run by the Nelson newspaper and a Wedding company. Now I want all my friends to vote for her and I will ask my daughter how to post a link!
She has already got a voucher for NZ$600 for jewellery, and could win another $1,000. She is in her third year of nursing training and works long hours at an old people's home to fund her studies. Her fiance, who joined her here in NZ, works as a personal trainer and will probably study physiotherapy after Lara starts work as a nurse. They are a very deserving young couple - both still only 20 but with a very clear idea of where they are going!

Good luck to her!

This is the webpage (I hope) if anybody is willing to vote for my grand-daughter (but only if you agree her story is the best!)

Great news anno and greatnan - happy days. You must both be proud

Had a great day at Cheltenham Races yesterday, 3 winners (but only about 60p profit!!!) AND I met lovely, lovely Tegan.

Good news, Greatnan Well done to your granddaughter.
OGM that's my girl!

I am going to put my gd's love story on a separate thread so I can ask every member to vote for her!

Thanks everyone
