Party Plans

Postby Ann » Mon Feb 12, 2007 7:50 pm

I was born to shop and I love all these types of parties. I must confess I've overstepped the mark sometimes though - my credit card takes an occasional beating!
However I turned a party to an advantage a few weeks back. I was asked by a friend to host a handbag and makeup party. I decided to hold it as a fund raiser for Mates on a Mission. I agreed to donate the hostess gifts and prizes to the group for raffles. We ended up with a lovely set of luggage and a pack of body butters to raffle.
It was a lovely friendly and fun afternoon and the raffle will be a great boost to our cancer support group.

Now thats funny Ally. I don't like those parties either. Don't get me wrong kj-----I love going out with the girls and having a few drinks but at those parties I usually end up buying heaps of stuff I don't really want just to be nice.

At least one good thing came out of your dx then ally

Jezza, its amazing how something jolts your brain, being home all day with kids, I recently had a call trying to
sell insurance, being a fairly polite person (I think) I always try the "I'm not interested thankyou", first then go the "I am being polite and I am not interested" recently a life insurance guy from westpac would not give up, and I find it hard to hang up on them as they really are only doing a job. It took for me to say I have Breast Cancer do you still want to
give me life insurance, he said sorry mam and hung up!!!!

poor fella

Great story yowyow. Knew there had to be good things about getting cancer. A friend of mine got rid of a couple of telly marketers that way. Interupting them and telling them she had just been dx with cancer and didn't feel like discussing finance and new phone deals . Ended the conversation very quickly!!

The list of good things about getting cancer is pretty small but not non existant especially if you have a sense of humour.

I posted this on another site last year but will add it here as I was totally stoked!!!(don't think many would know him /seas)

I went with a girlfriend to a Jon Stevens (noiseworks, Jesus christ superstar and never ending list)
very small intimate show at Doncater Shopping Town Hotel back in November.

I wore my wig as was having a need to feel normal day.

At the start of the concert Jon did a big a big spiel on Movember - prostrate awareness month and
then went on to do one on BC he spoke of Belinda Emmet, and he also lost his mother to BC.

After a few champagnes I urgently felt the need to thank him for raising even more awareness.

At the end of the show I approached his many "nannies" in black suits and told them I needed to
speak with him, you can imagine they treated me like any other obsessed, tipsy thirty something year old fan.

No, I was not going to give in I was on a mission!!!! Ok try a different approach, I took my wig off and asked
again, the "nanny" took off back to his dressing room and within 1 minute Jon came out and introduced himself (like he needed to do that) We talked for about 5 mins about his mum and my treatment and then he ripped a promotional
poster off the wall and wrote a beautiful message. (great bloke)

If we can use this beast to our avantage in ANY way we must.


Went to see Robbie Williams in Decemeber, "bother" no such luck, (acutally didn't try but it did cross my mind LOL)

This is getting so sad. I would rather have cancer myself than my child.

A friend of my mums her 5 yr old granddaughter has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I cant begin to imagine how a 5yr old would get through somethin like that. I often think of her when I'm feeling cr*p. It puts things in perspective things can always be worse.
