Probably the first time I've ever been speechless, you guys are a sneaky bunch aren't you :D :D can't believe what you have all done for christine and myself.

I got a shock when I read Graham's email this morning telling me you have all donated funds.... I'm struggling to find words to say to you all.. these daft smileys don't help. I'll have to continue this later guys, I'm filling up here.. Love you all, your a great bunch. And a huge thank you.....

Well guys, when I told christine this morn I could see tears in her eyes, you guys are brilliant, a massive thank you from christine and myself.

I've asked her what she wants to do with the cash, as most of you know all she wants out of life now is to travel to Spain and Portugal in the camper, buying material things isn't really going to last for her. So that said, I'm transferring the cash from paypal into our account and drawing it out, it's going into our holiday fund we have stashed away. It will be kept separate from our own funds which is basically going to buy the fuel and food. So your money is going to treat her to something special when we get to wherever we end up.... It has made her very happy knowing you guys have done this, and rest assured she will enjoy whatever she wants with it.... Life for us now is all about the memories we have and memories we will enjoy in the future time we have left together.

You are all in our thoughts too.

Be healthy, be happy, and eat what comes out the ground. You will live longer for it...

Thanks again for this
Christine and tony

Hey guys, just want to show you all what your money bought Chris... I'm picking it up today. As she doesn't have a lot of strength this is absolutely brilliant for when we go away in camper. Hope this link works.. Chris has asked me to thank you all..

Here is her new bike, I've fitted the basket on the front for her. She's not back from hospital yet but I'll get another photo done when she gets in.

Thanks guys, well she had a go on it and was ok, she loved it. As long as it's kept vertical she can manage it ok. Never got a photo today but we are going for a bike ride tomorrow if weather holds so I'll get one then...she will love it even more when we hit the hills tomorrow and she doesn't have to peddle.... Thanks guys, you've all made an old buga happy...

Question... Have any of you or anyone you know had/has irritable leg syndrome, Chris has that, had it for years, docs can't do anything because they are useless.. Wondering if anyone knows how to relieve the pains and stress it causes, she goes through hell when she gets it, nearly every night.

Cheers
