Grade 4 rectal prolapse.

Well done Aveline your ‘calling all grans’thread has enabled the final push ???

The fund is now standing at £14106. What a fantastic sum!
It kooks like Christmas may be coming ear,y for Soop.

It wasn't my idea. I just liked it. Will start another thread as you suggest.

Aveline I wonder if it would be worth starting a new thread with your idea Calling all grans
Im sure many GNetters have read this thread now but some may have skipped over it and not be aware of what’s going on and therefore not thought about contributing to the very special fund,
Great idea by the way.

Thank you , Aveline. Our grandson is raffling Nike sports clothing this weekend. He's a fabulous lad. On Tuesday, he will tell us how successful the raffle has been. Fingers tightly crossed. Truly grateful to him, his pals, and my special you lot pals. Such kindness will never be forgotten.

Calling all Grans. Any of you who have had to cancel an outing would you consider giving what you might have paid for a meal or drinks to Soops Just Giving appeal? The target is so close we just need a few more kind people to chip in. How about it?

I am extremely late with visiting you kind Gransfriends and I apologise. After lunch I had a zizz. It is only now that I've surfaced...in a daze and looking slightly rumpled.

Mr Soop sends virtual innocent hugs to "his ladies". I agreed to pass his message on to you.

I need a brew, or three. I'd love one of Baggs' flapjacks. No joy there!

I shall endeavor to be more with it tomorrow. Wishing you all a pleasant and peaceful evening.

So easily done Charleygirl. Even when I check my posts I still read them back after and see a mistake I’ve missed.
Specially easy with numbers involved.

Very easily done, I hold my hands up there.

I guessed it was a typo Charleygirl as I’m sure you would have made a very excited post if the target had been reached! We would have heard the cheers

Good news Soop that Mr.Soop is on the list and is able to manage in the meantime.

Apology not needed Charleygirl (although I did get excited to think the target had been exceeded).
Any of us could make a similar mistake. My family often laugh at my typo errors.
My brain rushes ahead of my fingers ?
I hope MrSoop can rise up the queue in a shorter time than 15 months ?

My optician says that I have cataracts developing but are not 'ripe' enough for replacement surgery yet. Maybe MrSoop is in the same position.
I used to go to Boots opticians but after an extremely poor experience I went to an independent optician. Very much better.

That news about the cataracts is shameful to me.
In this area , Stockport, as far as I an aware they are still being done in weeks, not months.
The work is mostly carried out by a private clinic named Optegra on behalf of the NHS.
My neighbour has had both eyes done during the past year as has an acquaintance.
The follow up tests and new prescriptions are carried out by Boots opticians.

*Mr Soop* will have cataracts removed in 15 months time! He is still perfectly okay to continue driving. Thank goodness.

Glad to read this, soop.

My apologies, my eyesight is deteriorating but not that rapidly. That was a typo and I did not check what I had typed. I hold my head in shame.

That is really good news-15 months is not too long.

Dearest you lovely lot...*Mr Soop* will have cataracts removed in 15 months time! He is still perfectly okay to continue driving. Thank goodness.

Sweetie Pie enjoying a fish dish.

No you’re correct Marydoll it’s £13,550.

Think that was just a typo.

It is still a huge amount!

It is £13,550 Marydoll. Sadly not £15,550. I think Charley must be on the sauce!?

Are you sure Charleygirl, it would be wonderful if it was?

I have just been in to the site and the fund is standing at £13,550. I hope I am mistaken.

As Craig would say FAB U LOUS.There is now £15550 in the fund.

Would you like us lot soop to do a nagging act on behalf of Mr. Soop so he can have early surgery for his cataracts and that would enable him to at least drive you to various appointments and the mega day.

Tilly good idea.

TillyTrotter Why are my eyes misting over? I have no idea.

Marydoll My thoughts exactly. How has this been possible in so short a time. The kindness of strangers...that is the answer.

The Christmas fund is still filled with good cheer. Our grandson, Will, has helped enormously. He is now auctioning some wonderful Nike clothing in order to keep the ball rolling, so to speak.

Mr Soop is away having his eyes tested. He has a cataract and is hoping that it hasn't deteriorated too much since his last appointment.

At lunchtime we received sad news that a friend has been diagnosed with cancer for the second time. She has to find a way of explaining to her husband (who has had a stroke and is showing signs of dementia). Life can be so cruel.

I should be going to a pre-Christmas meal and drinks this evening but myself and the group of friends I was going with have decided to cancel and re-book in January (restrictions allowing).
I will give the £25 I would have spent this evening to soop ‘s
Christmas fund with pleasure ?.

18 hours since the last donation. How can we get the amount over the line? MrSoop is it time now to involve local media?
