david i am at work so wont b able to do any thing but maybe i cud send some to the charity or to you for it ?

Thanks for the message David I will put it in my diary Regards Rose

I'll keep an eye on the local press for mine too, David. MacMillan nurses need a lot of support as this is a very stressful job for them. I understand they can only do the job for a limited time because of the 'burnout' factor. Beth

My place of work will be closed that day so that the premises can be used for the coffee morning. It has expanded so much that more room is needed. As I will not be working :-), I will go along. Jacky

My best friend and I are holding one in a local cafe. Her Dad died of cancer two years ago, so it's an important cause to us both. Nice to think lots of us will be having a coffee at the same time--all for a wonderful cause! Sal

My husband is a coach driver (doing hols abroad) and they have a couple of days where all the profit they make selling drinks etc on the coach goes to the MacMillans. Last year they did really well and out of all the coaches involved they raised the most money. They also had raffles on the coach to raise money. The MacMillan nurses are wonderful. My mother-in-law recently died of cancer and she couldn't have received better care. Instead of family flowers we had donations for them and for the hospice she spent some time in. Elfx
