Yes! We did it, finally had my dinner evening at The Palace Hotel, Stunning 4 star hotel in Buxton with Indieannas & George Baxby & a great supporting crowd

Charity Dinner Goes Ahead Finally 3rd Time Lucky For Tommy'sRaised £822.73 to date 22nd June 2013 

(Includes sale of raffle tickets) 

(We have a few more auction prizes to sell and to collect other sponsor money, target to get to £1000 by end of August, this is one of my reasons for delay as had hoped to collect and sale rest of goodies)

The night started with a high, and ended with a high, every one who came, enjoyed it.....

Awesome room fit for a princess Tommy's baby charity dinner

Amazing tasty food 

Food was amazing lovely, we had feared a little as heard lots of bad reports and as I never had a chance to taste before the event we were taking a massive gamble, The gamble payed off and was very pleased as the food was very tasty, served quickly and enjoyed every moment, only critical issue I would say, is that the hotel really must do table service. We certainly would of brought more drinks and made more for the charity as the hotel donated a percentage of bar takings.

Live Music and acoustic to get you in the mood for dancing......

George Baxby doing it for Tommy's Charity Night 

George Baxby singing for 'Tommy's Baby Charity Night'

Started the live music by doing a 20 minute full of acoustic numbers.

All the crowd loved it.

Even did a one to one song just for one of the guests.

21st April 2013, London Marathon, how do I feel

21st April 2013 

London Marathon

Donate to Justgiving page

I should be running the marathon proud to come from where I do, 

So how do I feel, 

Even though I will go on Sunday, I am very nervous, and I will do my uppermost to run all the way, but do feel sadden that I failed at running a Great Night Out, and that I could not draw my raffle, all due to lack of sales and simply not knowing enough people :( 

I would like to be really positive and say, yes I feel great, and wonderful, but I am looking at a 2nd failing of organising a event, so will anyone ever come to my events, or do I just quit? 

The positives, have met some really lovely people, and met loads of people who have suffered similar

I had 40 people wanting to come, not all for dinner. 

The negatives, could not convince 100 people to come to a charity ball, for Tommy's charity ball, not even amazing auction prizes could convince them, 

Would love to know how I can achieve this as just feel sadden that I failed, failed my first born and failed her again by not achieving this Ball to go ahead, 

So how does this make me feel about running, it does not make me feel proud as I let people down, and its that sense of failing, and no matter what people say, the fact is, the event did not happen, so why do I want to try again, as I owe it to all those who have lost babies and had a premature births, 

I set myself a goal, and hope to god people start to help me out, by coming, I did not want to just take donations, I wanted to do events where I give people a Great time, and raise a few quid towards the pprom project, you would think of the thousands of people in the High Peak, that it would not be that hard, 

Never knew that life had got so hard, can we really not afford to go out,  then I look around, I go places, cafes, restaurants, pubs and then I think, how can I convince you to come, and at the moment I no idea, 

Support

Thanks to all the following that have supported me, and either donated or sponsored me through the last year,

Will update in a moment 

Boston Marathon

I will be wearing my ribbon with pride, to all those fellow people who spend a great time fundraising, and have lost some important people, just goes to show how sad the world has become :( 

My Family 

My partner would prefer it if I did not do this, but I need to do this, as I need something positive to take over from the most traumatic experience of my life.

For my beautiful rainbow daughter Siobhan, this is for your future.

For my daughter that I gave birth to Sinead Speakman, the one I gave birth to, the one that did not make it, the one that was born stillborn,  I promised you I improve maternity services, and help other families, so far, not doing a great job, but praying every day this will change.

I love both my daughters and my better half with all my heart :)

When your waters breaks - advice and what to expect

When your waters breaks - advice and what to expect  (pprom -pre-term 37 weeks)

You be informed to put a pad on and see if you have any more leakage however this is my advice and what should happen to confirm if your waters have gone and what it means for you and baby;-

If you suspect your waters have gone, other well know as preterm prelabour rupture of membranes before 37 weeks;-

1. Put a pad on.

2. Do not lift anything heavy.

3. Go to a maternity hospital straight away, if you are under 20 weeks and in the UK if you live close to a bigger hospital such as St Mary's in Manchester or St James in Leeds then go there.

4. You will be looked at by both a midwife and doctor, I would highly recommend asking for a consultant. You will then be asked your pregnancy history and any previous births.

5. They will then do a vaginal inspection, and either a doctor or midwife will use a speculum to check your cervix to see if they can detect amniotic fluid. They will also be able to tell if the cervix is changing, and looking for signs if you are preparing to go into labour.

6. A specific test of fluid to see if your waters have broken, be aware these tests are not 100 percent accurate.

7. Ask for scan ASAP, they should send you for a ultrascan ASAP to check the amount of water around the baby. 

8. Midwife or doctor will check your baby's heartbeat.

If your waters have been suspected you will have the following happen to you:

9. You should be admitted into hospital.

10. You will have regular monitoring of your baby.

11. they will monitor you for signs of labour.

12. they will do regular tests & monitor you for infection which will include having your temperature taken and pulse taken.

13. they will do a blood test.

14. they will do a vaginal swab to check to see if you have group b strep (group b streptoccocus)

15. You maybe offered a emergency stitch, if this is not offered ask about this option, there are risks with this, but at least you know what is available. 

If at any stage you want a 2nd opinion, do not hesitate to ask for a consultant or a other consultant, at the end of the day, it is your baby and your health. 

For more info go to this wonderful webpage: PROM info when your waters break early in pregnancy which was set up by a lady called Inkan, this will get you in touch with a wealth of information and support online, if you have pprom or you have sadly loss to pprom, 
There is hope if your waters do break early (pprom), its knowing what to do to help you carry to full term

If you go into labour in the UK under 24 wks, the following will be outlined to you and this is my advice to you, 
>>> >
You can ask them to treat you to stop your labour, your are within your rights, 


If you are in this situation ask your hospital consultant for there guidelines and do not be afraid to ask for senior staff if at first you are not content, your body, your unborn baby.

Auction goods with no venue, how to raise funds now?

My main event for this year was sadly cancelled.

Had hoped after this weekend I be having a break from fundraising, instead the stress has been double folded, I have one failure to pull off a good night to show for my hard work,

I need to use all my inner strength to pull myself up after a emotional week of let downs and disappointments, need to focus on the future.

So how do I do that, well the one thing no one thought of was what to do with all our amazing auction prizes, I for one did not want to waste all my hard work, so I been busy trying to source some new venues and looking at the cost of raffle tickets

As I have too many generous donations not to have the opportunity to raise some funds,

My thoughts are that I will see about finding a auction before the end of the Year to auction off local companies auction prizes, and seek permission of all that it is okay to use still.

The top auction prizes, I am hoping they will not mind me turning a auction into a raffle, as this will give me a opportunity to sell a lot of tickets and raise a lot more for Tommy's baby charity,

Not sure if this is the right way to go, but I need to do something positive other wise my dream of working on a pre-term birth project to help prevent baby loss will be a long loss dream, and a whole lot of broken promises to the daughter that I never got to hold.

If any one is reading this, who can either do a auction or help by donating costs for the raffle tickets, or whom would like to donate West End Show trip to either London or Manchester, or a cash prize, or a holiday please let me know.

I am looking at selling tickets for £1 a go, and £5 per book, and looking at wanting to sell thousands of tickets, therefore any one who has a pub, venue who can help please contact me at

Why raise money for Tommy's and the New Mills Women's group? 

Why Tommy's Baby charity? 

Tommy's funds research into pregnancy problems and provides information to parents. We believe it is unacceptable that one in four women will lose a baby during pregnancy and birth.

My mission is to raise over 60k to enable me to fund a new preterm birth project, and find out some of the reasons behind why some women's waters break too early, 

My personal reason behind this is we lost our first born ,born sleeping April 2010

Reg Charity no: 1060508  

Why New Mills Women's Group? 

In brief, the New Mills Women’s Group aim to help women gain confidence and help make a difference in the community by working on local projects. 

Therefore before it is too late, please buy your tickets, this night will be a night to remember, we promise to give you a awesome night for all to talk about and not only that, you will be donating to some wonderful causes......
