Looking forward to your string vest dance, MrSoop . Really glad to see the fund is swelling nicely.

Surprised to see a photo of my husband on here. What on earth has he been up to? ?

Kalu. your deputy will also be on duty, if required! Thank goodness we live close to Ross Hall!

Oh, is that your hubby, Marydoll? - and he told me he wasn’t married! Men, eh!

I shall show Mr Soop your cheeky suggestions. He'll be tickled pink.

Destination Ross Hall in sight for Soop. Help to get her there?!

Soop is aware I am on call whenever she may need me. ?

Who could resist such a temptation Mr Soop. Lots of nibbles and free flowing alcohol/soft drinks. It may take one or two wines before I do my speciality table top dancing though. ?

Thank you Mrsoop definitely charades, I can bring onion bhajis, chicken satay and spicy potato cakes with assorted dips. I’ll wear my wedding dress, give it a second airing, dark blue, three quarter length velvet, probably with a contrasting bib, I can be a messy eater.
PS also doing the lottery tonight ?

Any party that features sausage rolls is fine by me. I'll be wearing my glitter burka so I can smuggle as many of said items as possible. Will there be party bags?

From Mr Soop...to "his ladies".

Soop and I have been planning a party for all our kind and generous friends, who have continued to boost not only our "cause", but also our spirits. Thank You All . Sadly it can only be virtual, but you Gransnetters certainly know how to make the best of that situation, and it may even allow us to really let ourselves go. Woops.....[ I might even perform the Dance of the Seven String Vests, if Soop can find her knitting needles.] So, give it some thought and see what culinary delights you can conjure up, what party games you might like to play, and what amazing party outfits you can find in the back of the wardrobe. Take care all of you, Mr Soop. x

Fantastic Aveline, good news.

Only £2670 till target! Onwards!

Like it muse ??

Brilliant Muse . Hands with hearts on, how appropriate. ?

Well said Doodle. I found this today and thought of the perfect place to post it. Here !

Soop's Gofundme fund is now at £12,330. I like the idea of a local journalist becoming involved Soop. Hoping something will come of it. Holding you in my thoughts and hoping for the best for you.

The title of this thread is Grade 4 rectal prolapse and the opening post clearly states what it is about. If people can’t be bothered to read it they’re not going to know what it’s about anyway.
It doesn’t matter if you choose to write a few lines, post a photo, or to do what has been accepted across the board until now and post the word bump. The important thing is that soop gets the support she needs and any words, bump, hello, pictures whatever that keeps the thread active is good.
Many people on GN know what the word bump means and I see no reason why it shouldn’t continue to be used by those who want to use it, just like others can post pictures or other words of encouragement. Nothing is wrong, either action is acceptable surely.

I'm sorry you don't seem to understand the rationale behind my comments. They are made with my fundraising hat on. It's safe to assume that most of us on this thread have contributed to Soop's Just Giving page. A new reader opening the thread and seeing bump, bump bump is going to wonder what's going on and there's a risk they might not bother to read further or be inspired to contribute.
On the other hand, posts with friendly comments, maybe photos, possibly even people's experiences of Ross Hall or whatever will have the effect of keeping the thread bubbling up with the potential to inspire new contributors. It would have the effect of bumping but without just saying bump.

Good point.

No need to apologise, Aveline, I understand exactly what you meant.
In fact many of us on here have fundraising hats We just have different approaches.

I was speaking with my IT hat on, when I posted the bump comment, (a term I am very familiar with) and was also late for a medical appointment, so didn't have time to post a lengthy, positive comment with photos. My aim was to keep the thread on the active list, nothing else.

Even this 'discussion' has led to considerable bumping.
I'm wondering if the costs eventually quoted by the hospital might be slightly lower than the £25000 which seemed quite an arbitrary amount but which coincides exactly with the amount offered in compensation to the mesh implant ladies

When I saw bump I thought of baby bump.

I am sorry that this thread has gone slightly off piste, due to my previous tactless choice of vocabulary.
Please can we get back on track and focus on what is important, that Soop gets her op, ASAP?

The suggestion of a journalist being interested sounds positive. Fingers crossed for a successful outcome!

I read that over the weekend a crowdfunding initiative in nearby Cambletown raised over £5000, so some very generous locals in Soop's neck of the wood.
