As most of you are aware there's a Just Giving appeal for one of our own -
Soop. I know many have contributed but wonder if others are just flipping past the 'Grade four rectal prolapse' thread.
There's less than £1500 till target. I wonder if some of you who have had to cancel meals and drinks out would consider contributing what you might have had to pay for those to Soop's fund? She has an awful condition and her situation is complex. Please Grans, think of contributing. sunshine

soop three months ago I do not think you thought this was on the horizon never mind an extra early Christmas present.

You need a glass of something, purely for medicinal purposes of course.

I am overjoyed for Soop. To be a small part of this has meant so much.
This Christmas could have been sad for me, being estranged from my son and family but to be able to make someone else's Christmas a bit happier brings me joy. It is more blessed to give than recieve.

Is the word Slainte when you toast good health in Scotland?
That’s my toast to soop today ??
And to everyone in the kitchen (raising my cup of mint tea).

Slàinte Mhath!, Good health to you, Tilly and everyone, who has supported Soop.

Thank you, and to you Marydoll and Mr Marydoll. I hope your Dollie and others in your family are recovered /out of isolation very soon. x

Thank you Tilly for your kind wishes.
I am hoping to go and see the invalids tomorrow, where they will speak from a socially distanced height, after my extremely, early hospital appointment. Mr MDoll has set the alarm for an ungodly hour. It probably would be better to just browse GN and, not to go sleep at all tonight! wink

Really pleased to read this.
And thank you for the invitation to Soop's kitchen which sounds like a good place to be. I might look in one day after scanning a few pages first to catch up.

Wonderful news!
It’s good to be a part of something where kindness and caring for others is valued. ?
