Oh Lynn that would be great,Tescos are always fund raising, How are you doing? haven't heard from you in a while, were you aware that on the 13th October nras are launching a new group at the Luton & Dunstable hosp? I am going to do my best to go, although i have just realized it may be the same day as my 1st day rtn to work.
It would be good to meet up. hope to see you soon, Anne-m xx

So sorry Lynne, you poor thing. I would pick you up, as i dont drive, lol I was in a wheelchair for some time after ankle fusion, i know how frustrating it can be! How has the ra been? is that a new little grandchild on your pic? I have been off work for over a year now, i am hoping to rtn October if all's well, with me, HR and Occy health, to be honest i am not looking forward to going back, one of the guys i used to work with has left, he was the most understanding work colleague, his sister has RA. And i know when i return i will get the cold shoulder from those taking up the slack, never mind, i will see how it goes, if its to much i will tell them to stick the job. lol lol lol nothing is worth the hassle
Dear lynne, i do hope you are feeling good very soon.
Love and the most gentle of hugs to you. Anne-m xx
p.s Its so quiet when the kids leave home. They arrive here like tornadoes when they return its like they never left home!

Hi Lynne
Sorry to have not responded to your post earlier. It would be great if you could forward the letter to us for Tesco and I will get something off to them. I know they nominate a charity each year and if you have someone who is part of the group, like you, it certainly gives us a head start! Thank you for thinking of us.

hi all, sorry about the delay but been away for a few days. tracey will post that letter on to you. anne -m the ra is not good while away had a fall which has not helped at all and no i was not drunk if i had been it might not have hurt so much. still off work have a meeting with them this afternoon so we will see what they have to say. that is our grandson in picture he is now 9 months old and a little rascel and we love him to bits they have just gone home after spending a few days with us.our son is now living in milton keynes with his lady friend so the house is very quite and so empty i can finally see the floor in the bedroom, which was used as a storage dump plus the garage. i must redo the photo and you can see how he's grown. grandchild number 2 is on the way due feb/march and they think it's another boy. take care lynne.

Lynne - thank you for the letter from Tesco. I have emailed them and now have the application form to fill in which I am in the process of doing. They seem to generally support the large, well known charities (what a surprise!) but maybe it's about time they started to recognise smaller charities and the work they do so fingers crossed! I will keep you posted! Tracey
