To all,
I agree with you Michele, about the codenames etc. that is… And… so your wish is granted:-
Please all see new instructions below:-
Phone access number 0845 33 444 99
Our Pin* number ** - (recognise this from the blog!)
Conference Joining Instructions:
· Contact the participants you wish to join the voice conference, tell them the PIN*(**) and ask that they dial 0845 33 444 99 at the time agreed for the call to start.
· When the call is due to start, all participants should dial 0845 33 444 99 and then enter the PINÂ *(**) on their telephone keypad.
· Participants will be asked to say their CODE names and the call can take place.
Suggested Code names:
Miss Fit
Miss Shape
Miss Hap
Miss Understood
Miss Represented
But I "bagsy" Miss Shape, because, not wanting to be bitchy, I feel a Miss Shape web site coming into development. - Douglas would like to be our mascot, if you feel you could adopt him. For just £5.00 per week you could enable Douglas to; rent an old world war 2 DVD and a packet of Werther’s Original each week. Of course this would be on the "GIVE NOW" section of the web site. By letting everyone know just how needy and grateful we are, we could organise 1 or 2 outings, or even a retreat for a week in a country cottage. DO remember we need to be NEEDY AND GRATEFUL, so if you could send me your pictures - preferably with you looking pathetic but brave, these would be appreciated for the website.
With my love
Chris 
PS I've posted this thread up on the blog, please try to use it, it's had a few comments up on there and it would be good to get a shared learning diary going, or even just a place to natter, or let off steam in a safe non-judgemental place.
PPS.…… DONT FORGET TO SMILE
PPPS I think the above advice is the best I've ever had.
PPPS pic of Doug our Mascot, or I think we will call him a Patron - Group Captain Sir Douglas Bader, CBE, DSO, DFC, FRAes, DL
6Douglas Bader, a hero and legend in his own lifetime6
PPPS If this is a long rambling e-mail - it’s because I didn’t sleep at all last night with severe MS pain, now I’m led in bed on my i book, completely out of it, on herbal pain relief and morphine.
AND FINALLY: a "What we're up against" Quote from the Bader Foundation Web site:
'A disabled person who fights back is not disabled....but inspired'

I agree Chris
You're something of a techno wiz I think!
And agenda items def - feedback and practicalities - and perhaps check in on any prep for the next meet, and agenda for it too.
With love

Thanks so much for sorting this. It looks fantastic and I'm so impressed and pleased that you've done the research to keep the costs down. What did we do before t'internet?
Agenda: it would be great if you would be happy to put something together. I think it's feedback from training and then some admin re our next gathering in June. Also brill if you would chair. Thanks.
So tomorrow morning I'll put the big light on and call the number at the appointed time with the pin ready. I'm just disappointed that we don't have to have codenames and passwords or secret phrases to join the conversation: "Hello. It's the pjnk hippo here and the monkey is sitting comfortably on my knee. Let's begin"....
Talk to you tomorrow.
Michele
