I was waiting until I returned off o holiday to purchase a kit as our post is really unreliable if you are not in to take the delivery. So, I wondered if any kits are left. If so, I will try and find the paypal button to buy one.

And please tell your son that I take my hat off to him, he has such a positive attitude that the cancer will not beat him - of that I'm sure. I'm not sure that I would have such a good attitude (am a bit of a whimp).<br />Those woods look just what you needed - that's what I'm missing - our woods/mountains were 10 minutes away from our house.........<br />Hope your cough is retreating...<br />Have a good Sunday<br />Hugs, RoseRose in Chesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780183637719167745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293323717542650715.post-18608859258809832962013-08-31T17:16:30.694+01:002013-08-31T17:16:30.694+01:00Hello.

I hope your walk in the woods helped in the same way. Elliott will continue to be brave I'm sure and that will help him fight this horrid tumour. Keep up the good work on behalf of this marvellous charity and we'll help how we can. I love your blog but wish I was nearer to help in a more practical way. Instead you have us all for moral support. xxMargaretxxMaggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09348530960992840786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293323717542650715.post-17095527837925098852013-08-31T10:02:47.676+01:002013-08-31T10:02:47.676+01:00Christine

I'm so sorry to hear that the news about Elliott could have been better from the hospital. Having said that, you must be so proud of the positive way in which he is dealing with all this. He's such an inspiration to anyone in a similar situation.<br />As for you Christine, I really don't know how you carry on with things the way that you do, with all this going on around you. You are marvelous and I can only assume that keeping going with the shop, kits, fundraising etc gives you something else to think about and helps you in it's own way.<br />Well done with achieving your new target. I knew it wouldn't take long. I love seeing what everyone is doing with their kits.<br />Bella's woods look really peaceful so make sure you have a few more visits this weekend to relax you a little.<br />Take care<br />Toni xxTonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11132243548971899211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293323717542650715.post-25136158815927006522013-08-30T15:10:42.961+01:002013-08-30T15:10:42.961+01:00Hi Christine.
