So proud of her, as it is not something she would normally do, and she has raised over £1000 for charity by doing it.

Temper your sadness re the donation of a pancreas with the certainty that the loved ones of the donor would be delighted if their loss gave someone life. When my late wife died I didn't think twice about offering anything they could harvest by way of organs since I was well aware of her views on the subject.

I'm sure we all wish you and Natalie the very best! :tu:

@ Osem I bet Osem Jnr#2 was delighted with his new trampoline.

@ dilli now that's true love.

@ Hugh you must be so proud of your daughter completing the mini-triathlon and raising over £1000 for charity by doing it. I think that's brilliant.

Just fixed the new antenna up in the loft, only roughly pointed and the TV shows 80% signal. Not bad for a first try. :)

Well now I've routed the cables round I had to add some extra cable and the signal's dropped a bit on some of the multiplexes. Guess I'll need to throw an amplifier at it in a strategic point.
