MESSAGE FROM BECKY (Roller Coaster - Nathan)

What a Roller Coaster this is turning out to be!!!! My nerves are in tatters.

At one point last night, we took the lead by around 2,500 votes and then lost it again and fell almost 3,000 behind but a flurry of support must have come from somewhere because I just checked and "our" Nathan is in the lead again with over 25,000 points!!!!!

Whether he can hold the lead or not remains to be seen but I can only say that the support we have had and are still receiving has been phenomenal.  We would never have expected this in a million years.

This "contest" is turning into a two horse race and it looks as if the winner will be the one with the most supporters. Perhaps not fair but that is the way it has become.  I do feel somewhat sorry for the other "contestants". Must be disheartening to be picked and then get so few votes.

However, we are human and are delighted that Nathan has the lead right now.  So, if you still all wish to support him, every vote counts.

I shall not be able to watch how it is going much until this evening because I am looking after the little fellow today whilst his Mummy goes "secret" Christmas shopping for his Daddy's present.

I cannot say it enough, you folks are the absolute best.  You have done wonders and if, in the end, Nathan does come in as the overall best picture, then it is down to all of you and your friends and family.  So, a great big hug to you all and God bless you.

We have no idea when the voting will be closed and, as Christmas draws ever nearer, all of us ladies will be getting busier and busier with the preparations and our time will be limited, but if you do have a few minutes to spare..........every vote counts.

Choose Your Favourite Seasonal Image

We can only give it our best shot. Please give yourselves a pat on the back for all your hard work and generosity. I can only repeat, you are the very best .  I have just received the underneath in an email from Becky. I have copied and pasted it.  It speaks for itself.

Please pass a really, really big, big thankyou once again to all your journal pals and of course yourself.  Everybody's efforts are really, really, appreciated and have certainly given Dean and myself some extra special memories of Nathan's first Christmas.
