Cancer

Currently baking like a woman possessed for the weekend long Coffee Morning I'm running at work for https://coffee.macmillan.org.uk. Here's hoping we raise a decent amount. It shouldnt be like this though

I rarely read this thread. It terrifies me. But the last few pages are brilliant. And the Klopp GIF really captures the spirit of it all...

Unknown to me, my kids got their school involved in this last year. They missed the coffee morning, but they had a school fair a few weeks later and ran a stand and made over a grand. This year the school have adopted it as a thing, so it's nice to know it's something that might live on in the school for many years and help others along the way.

Great to hear.

I don't think it's anything I could do. I don't know if it makes sense, but if I fund raise for a cancer charity, it's like I only give a shit because of what I've been through. But for me it would be a genuine appreciation of charities around that helped in such a difficult time. But I'm not sure everyone gets that.

Great news Barry. Her indoors has just learnt she is in full remission from lymphoma.

 

Just shows this bastard disease can and will be beaten.

Amazing news, Dave. Chuffed for you mate.

 

Though it does mean her dreadful niece and cunt boyfriend will no doubt be coming round.

 

Life gives with one hand and takes away with the other.

Also excellent news, TJ. We lost a few friends this year due to this cunt of a disease, so excellent news, even from strangers, means that despite their loss the fight goes on. Made up for your Missus and Barry. xx

So nice to hear the last couple of pages are filled with good news rather than bad. Good luck to you all.

Incredible news on the last couple of pages. The Klopp celebration was perfect, good work!

 

We're having a MacMillan fundraising week next week, as we do every year. This time we've raised the game, were making architecture themed cakes to go with our lunchtime presentation about the RIBA Stirling Prize on Tuesday.

I won't be personally! I'm an average baker but I'm hosting the presentation so that's my part in it. Some of my colleagues are great though, so I'll make sure to take some photos.

 

I may attempt a Corbusian white box!

The ultimate is a lemon drizzle then topped with lemon butter icing.

What I'm getting from the last few pages is that cancer is bad and lemon drizzle cake is good.

 

Is that the consensus, or am I out of line?

Agreed. And I like the aspect that most of us are only connected by a username , avatar and posts around a forum (beans related or otherwise), but you really feel invested in the good (or sometimes bad) news when it emerges.
