I think we watch Lorraine on Thursday 13th October 8.30 till 9.25 - it will be on at some point. Then there should be a contact number or text acct where votes can be made. If you're at work then let me know - msg me - and I will pass the info on to you.

Dear all, thank you so much for all your amazing comments. What a shock this was but am so pleased as it has raised awareness of our awful disease. This award is for all of us women going through this and those who have unfortunately passed away, like Angie and Annie and all the women. I feel we have all won already by getting OC noticed on a prime time TV station.

We are all inspirational and deserve this recognition.

Now I've got to find the energy to go to London this weekend and go to the luncheon. They are very kindly lettting me take our daughter to the luncheon due to my circumstances.

I don't need an award, just one woman saying the handbag helped her to get diagnosed quicker is good enough for me.

Big hugs to you all and thank you for spreading the handbags all round the UK and Ireland, you will never know how much this has helped and what it means to me. Love Gill xxxxx

You are right Carole, I don't need to win and that is what I told the TV crew. I've already won because we got it out there. Getting us noticed is the icing on the cake. Lots of love Gilly xxx

Hi, please don't apologise, I am thanking you for seeing it and taking the time to post it.

All three of us finalists are winners, we have been heard and that is what it is all about. Hopefully it will raise the profile of OC, we so deserve this recognition.

Thank you once again, Gilly xxx

Hello Gilly,

Enjoy the luncheon and your well-deserved nomination. On what television channel does the programme air? I understand it is this Thursday but I'm unclear if it is the morning or the evening.

All the best!

Andy, this was for you too, remember partners in crime 😂. We've done it my buddy, we've got it out there. Hoping my last wish will come true and we can get a young star to make a video about awareness, to go into secondary schools. That's all we need, job done. We need TEAL TO BECOME THE NEW PINK. We love you lots too Andy xxxxx

So happy for you Gill, well done and enjoy your day and luncheon, you are already a winner in our eyes.

Brilliant news, Gill! Inspiration will keep happening! I will be tuned in and voting but as others have said it's not about winning. You've already won as far as getting awareness out there and so many of us here will keep the ball rolling. I hope you have a lovely lunch and day. Mary xx
