Just wanted to let you all know that Alicia has just had her 12 months check and is clear! Yay! She is now packing to go to Florida, to "Harry Potter World" on the "Make a Wish" thing for sick kids.

First I'd better say that all is still well.

I wasn't very happy with the lack of any sort of communication from the school, or publicity of any sort about the efforts the girls made to raise money for a cancer charity. We hadn't even heard what the total amount raised was and the girls have now left that school. This morning I rang the school. Firstly, you will be pleased to hear that between them and with your help, they raised £350. However you will probably be as unimpressed as I was to find that the money has not yet been sent to the charity since the school says they were unsure where it was supposed to be going and who to send it to. I wonder how long they would have left it before following it up? I now have the job of checking to make sure it IS Clic Sergeant that Alicia chose, finding out where to send it and who the cheque should be made payable to. Then it will finally get to it's destination. I really feel the school could have been more help and should have encouraged the girls more in this. Oh well...

Anyway, thank you all for your thoughts, hugs, wishes and donations.

Love Lynne

Well Alicia is back at school on Monday. She spent a couple of half-days there to get herself back into it before the Easter holdiday. A letter was sent out to all parents asking them to inform the school immediately if anyone had chickenpox or shingles as it could be life-threatening for Alicia. Shady says she has pretty, short hair now.

I still haven't heard the final total for the fund-raising they did but it is, at Alicia's request, going to Clic Sargeant, which for those who don't know, is a children's cancer charity.

Thanks once again everyone

Love Lynne

So sorry guys! I hardly ever go on Mudcat anymore and there wasn't really anything to report so I didn't bother. Now there is. Alicia has just left hospital with the all clear (so far). Obviously she's not completely out of the woods yet but It's all very positive and hopeful. I think it is a little earlier than was first said as well, so that's got to be good. She's not back at school yet but will be returning after the Easter holidays.
The girls have finally managed to collect almost all of the money that was pledged to them for their sponsored silence and have handed it in to school. School will then write out a cheque to the charity of Alicia's choice. When I hear what the total was I will let you know and also tell you what charity it will be going to. Thanks so much to those who sent money to swell the fund.
I'm sure all the thoughts, prayers and wishes and general good energy being sent by Mudcatters must have helped this happy outcome. Don't stop yet!
Thanks again guys and sorry I was silent for so long.

Love Lynne

Maybe they all got distracted by the boxes of fairy wings and craft things I sent to the girls.

It is close to Christmas, maybe Lynne is wrapped up in school and/or church programmes, shopping and parties. They do lots of holiday parties here in UK. Work, family, friends. It seems endless.

BTW Lynne... more probably headdresses and fairies coming after Christmas. My daughter is bringing them back to me from the US when she visits.

There was a piece in our local paper this week. One of the little group of friends got in touch with Great Ormond Street hospital and they helped her to arrange a sponsored bike ride. (Shady couldn't participate because, shamefully, she can't ride a bike) A lot of kids turned out for it and altogether they raised £1,100. With other things they all have planned, they will probably end up raising over £2,000.

Alicia has said that she doesn't want the figure skating lesson they were going to give her with the first bit of the money and that it should all go to charity. She feels she owes so much to various charities. She will decide which the money will go to.

The situation may be making them grow up rather quickly but it seems to be doing it in a good way! Everything positive so far, so here's hoping it all continues so

Not an accurate figure, but Shady has worked out that between them (five of them) they will probably have raised somewhere around £500.

Well done girls!!

The silence was today. I did it! Sorry I didn't notify you about the date being moved forward. It's becaue one of my other friends has to go into hospitaland for something tomorrow. *rolls eyes*

Anyway, all my friends did really well and, out of the five of us doing it, not one of us said anything!

The sponsored silence is today for the duration of the school day.

Anyone who wants to send anything can do it either by PayPal to me, (Not sure what info you need to do that) or PM me for my address and send a cheque or whatever.

I'm Lynne Tann-Watson, for anyone who doesn't know, so that should be enough for Paypal

Yep...biggest blessing there is too, closely followed by good friends.

What Shady didn't mention is that they have decided to give Alicia a figure skating lesson with some of the money, since it's something she's always wanted to do. The rest will go to leukemia research.

Alicia is having a party on Saturday, then goes back into hospital on Sunday so here's hoping for the next leg of the treatment!
