but as some know a friend in work is havin urgent op friday for breast cancer, prior to this news i decided id give the money i usually spend on chrimbo cards in work to cancer charity, some said yeh good idea some said well id like to still give cards, entirely their choice, today i got a collection box, in case anyone wants to just add to it, so as they dont need to ask and know ill give it to the charity, do i leave it in staff room with note, or not would it offend anyone here if it happened in your works

hiya julie, i wouldnt be offended love, i hope all goes well for your friend x

Julie Ann Wouldn't offend me at all, I would more than likely put money in the box and still send cards. Sue

im gonna write one , and put to all the staff, theres 12 girls and the boss and locum thats 14 x14 cards changing hands

Julie, at the risk of sounding patronising you have a heart of gold. No, that cannot be misconstrued as offensive at all. Just that somebody has the guts to try to do something positive in a difficult situation. Good for you, Julie - and good luck! x

it's a nice idea julie,and i doubt putting it in the staff room,will offend anyone,hope you collect lots of money. bryan.

On the contrary. Id happily make a contribution. Good for you and Best Wishes to your friend. Sue

When i worked, we eventually decided to send one nice card to all the staff and these were displayed on a notice board. Some individuals still sent cards to everyone, which were graciously received, but not returned. Some donated money to a charity box, others gave money to their chosen charity, some just sent the one card. Jay

It doesnt offend at all love. one of the women at work fought and beat C there was a bucket in reception and a couple carried around the warehouse.

we got one member of staff thats been there bout 3 years, the rest been there since the boss opened it 18 year ago, shes done an nvq and is power crazy, shes leaving rules everywhere, and generally bullying,shes gone crazy with health and safety, im the only one whose told the boss , twice, and hes not doing anything at mo, bout the bullyin, anyway im also thinkin maybe shell shut up for a bit if i go ahead with this ,

so far so good, my friend whose about to go into hospital was the first with positive response, and said she thought it was good idea one by one they agreed, left the collection pot on table for them to add to, thanks all of you lot too for your kind words and positive thoughts

Julie I've been thinking about doing the same thing. I wouldn't worry about offending folk - you are giving them the opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause, but you aren't making them do it! nell
