I personally would love enter but can’t – OBVIOUSLY ha ha.. The photo below is my bestie and I, she lives on the Gold Coast and I never get to see her.
“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.” – Henri Noumen
“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.”
GOOD LUCK!!

Lisa Becker And myself, I have never had a weekend away whether it be girls or not lol, I am a mum to 5 kids and step mum to 2, my kids are my life and I have never been away from them more than a night or two. Everything I do I like to do it as a family, I don't complain, I have stayed in a motel once in my life, I miss my best friend, we have been friends for nearly 12 years, we can organise a party (normally bday for our kids) and if I forget to bring something, without knowing she will bring it and vice versa, I had this over whelming feeling of sadness one night and rang her to find out her grandma had died, she didn't tell me, I just thought I was having a downer as I had a stillborn nearly 2 yrs ago and a miscarriage just over 12 mths ago. She has been there for me when my husband walked out on us and when ever I need her, I would like to think I have been there for her too. I love her with all my heart and don't know what I would do with out her. We don't get to spend much time together as she works full time so I think it is needed for both of us. I used to live in Toowoomba and she was too, then she moved to Brisbane for work, I moved to Brisbane and I used to see her more when she would go to Toowoomba to visit family than I do now, Its been months since I have seen her and as money is non existant for us, it makes it hard to visit and now my car has broken down its even harder, I was living on the south side of Brisbane and she was on the North, so we moved to Bribie Island and still dont get to see her, its hard, its almost like we have to book in to see each other, our kids have grown up together and all get along well. I sometimes see that she has girls weekends away with her workmates or friends but I can never go due to lack of money, I secretly get jealous. But in saying that I am happy she gets a break from her 3 kids as she deserves it probably more than I do :) if she reads this, Lisa I love you and miss you so much.xo
I would love to take my best friend as she is one amazing person. At 19 I had my son and from day one his life was a fight. He was so sick and always in pain although no one could tell me why. At 19 most teens are self centred and out getting drunk and clubbing, but not my friend. She would bring me dinner at the hospital . Held my hand while they tested for cystic fibrosis and brain tumors, would take over shifts at the hospital when I needed a few hours sleep. My friend is amazing and she deserves to feel so.
I would bring my sister and best friend Keyly, she lives 1200km away and breaks my heart that I don't see her everyday anymore, haven't seen her for 6 months now, but that's what happens when we grow up, we get a life, a partner and move away . She has been through so much with me. My partner left me while pregnant and she was there for all doc appointments and ultrasounds. Even when I found out my son had a 1:15,000 syndrome she stood by me and him and was so supportive for me. After he was born, there for the operations and healin And any little doc appointment she was there!!! I'd love to treat her to something just to say Thankyou. There is nothing in this world that could show how much she means to me and how much she helped me through a rough time, but this would be a good start.
I would take my Aunty Debbie who i haven't seen in a few years.
In the 2 years i have been in Austraila, i have lost most of my family due to a falling out including my mum, had a stressful pregnancy and have struggled to make friends but my Aunty is always there for me via facebook (i live in QLD she live in Melbourne) if i need to talk or blow off steam.
I love to be able to give her a huge hug and say thank you and just spend some time with her.
I first met Bek 3 yrs ago when our daughters became besties at kindy. I turned to Bek for support and info when my daughter was undergoing diagnoses with aspergers, as I knew one of her children have it. From there we became so close that Bek is now like a sister to me, we have been through a separation from a nasty relationship, further diagnoses with more of our children, health issues and so much more. Bek is the most wonderful person, single mum to 4 beautiful children 3 who have special needs or health conditions. Bek is always there for those around her and never ever asks anything of anyone else, which is why I'd love to win this and spoil her as she deserves a break from always being the one who does everything for everyone else.
My friend Stephanie lost her grandfather a few weeks ago. She has a devoted loving heart, and didn't leave his side at the hospital. Me and her husband robert met in high school 11 years ago, dated and have remained friends to this day. Well, 4 years ago I left my partner and Steph and Robert took me in. I was her husbands ex-girlfriend and she embraced me, cooked dinner for me, cried with me. With her love and support she made me feel like I was a long lost sister. I healed, moved out and started dating my soon to be husband. When I was pregnant and couldn't move furniture around while my husband was at work - she was there helping me. When I had postnatal depression she was at my place helping me with the dishes. She believes in the best for me. I can never repay her for all the things she has done for me. Not many people would let their husbands ex girlfriend live with them. Even fewer would befriend them while they were emotionally unstable. I want to distract her from her grief, and show that I appreciate who she is and what she does.
I would bring my friend Catherine, we have only known each other for just over 12 months, but she is an amazing lady, she has helped me leap hurdles I never thought I'd have to deal with, my daughter (2yrs) has been fighting a long health battle, she has bad Asthma, lactose intolerantance, last year was Admitted in to the royal children's hospital with suspected cranioysyntosis she came up with three large lumps in her skull wich was thought could have been premature fusing of the skull or fluid on her brain, around the same time she began having Seizures wich were a daily occurrence still under investigation during the time she was admitted they discovered her liver wasn't functioning and done testing and discovered she had Epstein Barr Virus, recent test have shown her red cell count is abnormally Low and white cells are high so on for more testing, she also receive third degree burns to her arm face neck and chest when she pull noodles on to herself last year,
As I am a single mum I don't have a partner to rely on or to support me through times like these but Catherine has been there, has battled these hurdles with me and my daughter, not only the physical side but the phycological to :) I can't ever repay her for what she has done for us but I believe she is well deserving of a trip away :)
I would take my friend Natasha. We both had babies in August last year a week apart. Natasha's baby Matthew was born with a heart condition, Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Matthew was a fighter and defied the odds and had the Doctors baffled as to why this little man was still on earth. After many surgeries, Natasha's Heart Hero grew his wings and flew away on the 13th January. Natasha lives in Townsville and I in Sydney. I would love to see her after this life journey that she has endured. She is my inspiration, to be a better mum & person. She is AMAZING and I want to hug her and tell her this in person.
17 years of friendship and its hard to imagine my life without her. We met in grade 11 and quickly bonded over our mutual love of Hanson. She moved down to Sydney a couple years after that and whilst i didn't see her as frequently as I would have liked, our Phone calls got us both through.
When my partner suddenly died in December 2007 and although we hasn't seen each other for a few months, she dropped everything, including her job to come and be with me. She didn't say much, she didn't need to, just a hug and a warm loving hand on my hand, I couldn't have done that first night without her. She is my best friend, my world, my rock, and I love her like a sister.
We are both in our 30's now; her with a husband, a toddler and a baby on the way, me with a fiancé and 2 boys, this would be so perfect for us and it would be so very appreciated. We can barely have a conversation by ourselves uninterrupted anymore these days, so a weekend away together would be so wonderful for our friendship.
I would bring my friend Annemarie. She has two kids now and is a stay at home mum, she hardly gets any time to herself so id love her to be able to relax and remember that she is still Annemarie and not just mum. I have a 2 year old and she was born premature 6 weeks, I was still working at this stage so nearly 3 years on I haven't had a break, the emotional and physical stress I went through watching my little girl struggle to breathe killed me and I honestly believe the anxiety I have today over the simplest things are of a result of being out of control and not being able to help my little girl. She was resuscitated twice in hospital and rushed to another hospital by nets and put into a nicu where she was sedated with morphine for 3 days and had tubes down her throat, in her arm, in her foot, down her nose and moniters all over her chest. It was the scariest moment of my life. Fortunately today she is a healthy 2 year old but I still from the very start have done this all on my own as a single mum, but not without the support of my best friend Annemarie who has always been there if I need advice or to vent to. She's not only a selfless mum but also a best friend xx
I would bring my best friend Carol Calabrese. We've known each other for over 15 years and she has seen me through my worst times of depression to where I am today with my gorgeous family - the one I couldn't have. She is always putting others first, never accepts help for anything & never gives up on anyone that had done her wrong. She's stronger than anyone I know and most deserving of a special gift.
I would take my friend Teniell. She is always there to help those around her even when she has 1001 problems of her own. She has had her own tough life for different reasons which I won't disclose out of respect but she still makes it her goal in life to make sure those around her are happy even at her own expense sometimes. She is just a wonderful person that needs to know she is appreciated and quite honestly if I won this prize I wouldnt even care if I didnt go as long as she did. If she happens to read this then she should realise what she means to me as a friend, a fellow mum and as a wonderful human being. Xx
I would bring my mum, im one of six and have a daughter of my own, even though weve been through some hard times, my mother is my rock and has always been there for me and my 5 brothers. She deserves a get away and we never have any one on one time even though three of us are adults she has four yr old twins and 8 year old at home and business to run all on her own.
She is the most amazing person ill ever know and this would mean the world to her!
My husband and I moved to Sydney nearly 3 years ago. We knew no one. I met my friend Karen at uni. We are both doing nursing. I have 4 children and Karen has 3. We become great friends and help each other out. My Dad passed away recently, Karen has been a tremendous support.
Wow, what a prize!! If I was one of the lucky ones, I would bring my mum!! She is one of the most amazing people I know, and my best friend all rolled into one. Mum has been there for both of my sisters and I with all our babies, holding our hands from delivery and still today. As a single mum when I had my son 12 years ago, mum looked after Mackenzie for 12 months so I could join the paramedic program interstate. No judgement, just love and support. Mum knew how important it was for me to establish a career and to be a mum. Who could ask for more than that??!!
If I was to win, I would give the prize to my two friends (who are also friends with each other) who have both this week found out their husbands have called it quits. These two girls are remarkable women, and both deserve the time out for themselves to regroup, recharge and focus on themselves and be there for their children.
If I had to choose one friend to take away for a girls weekend I would take my darling friend Alice. Alice and I have been friends for 10 years and she is without a doubt my rock, my sanity, my strength! Even though we live in different states she was still by my side when I went through the daunting journey of having a premature baby in the NICU not once but twice. Early last year just before her wedding Alice found out the devastating news that she has a brain tumor. My world it seems came crashing down around me. My beautiful friend did not deserve this. I stood by her side as her maid of honour I stood by her side when she had her brain surgery I stood by her side when she received the shocking news that they couldn't remove all of the tumor and it has started growing back. Even though I have been there for her she is still the one telling me it's ok that everything happens for a reason. Alice is again going to be standing by my side later in the year as my maid of honour, always there for me. I couldn't think of a better way to show her how much I care and how much she means to me than a weekend away where we can forget about the harshness of reality even if it's just for a little while.
I would bring the amazing Megan Zorich. She has been an emotional rock for me, as well as a fantastic supportive attentive listener. Megan also started an online auction to help my son Riley, and i. Never more so than in past 6mths. Last November, my then 15mth old son Riley was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Acute Myeloid Luekemia. This meant we had 8 hrs to relocate from Busselton to Perth (PMH). We have spent all that time until last Friday in an isolation room while Riley under went intensive and aggressive chemotherapy. He has won his fight! But not without a myriad of scares, loads of tears, 6mths of sleepless lights, the breakdown of my marriage and severe financial struggles on top of it all. Without Megan, I probably don't think I could have coped as well as I have! Megan is awesome, and we both deserve a break - we have earnt it lol
I need to bring my dear friend, Tanya to a weekend away like this. I met Tanya a few years ago through our children, I met a broken, lost and unhappy woman, who did not know or feel that she was beautiful, talented and had brought two amazing children into this world.Both Tanya and I have suffered from PND. Tanya has lost her mother and mother-in-law so when she has those imperfect mum moments has no one to call and ask is this right, wrong or normal so I believe she always thinks she is the imperfect mum 24x7. But let me tell you she is amazing, she has now three beautiful children and works full time and she does it, she makes it work. Her children and husband come first always.I would love to spend a weekend with her to remind her that we all have imperfect mum moments in different times in our lives but she is human, beautiful, talented, strong and a pretty super mum and friend xx
I would take my dear friend Tonie. She had to suddenly move from a country town to Perth with 24 hours notice, because her baby boy was diagnosed with a very nasty form of Leukaemia.
She has just spent 7 months living in Princess Margaret Hospital for Children, and at Ronald McDonald house and has been stuck in a tiny room with her little boy every single day, as he was in isolation and couldn't leave.
She had to give up her home in Busselton and was obviously unable to work the entire time, and has had the bank on her back threatening to repossess her car if she doesn't pay the outstanding balance!
Her little guy has just been given the all-clear after we nearly lost him a few weeks ago and it has been such an up and down harrowing journey - she needs some time out.
I would bring my bestie Kate. Both our husbands were in the defence force. For years we followed our husbands careers as we got posted around Australia from one location to another raising our little families while our husbands were away for up to 9 months at a time. Now that our husbands have moved on from the ADF even though we live more than 1000kms away we still talk everyday. It would be nice to leave the husbands at home with the kids and we take off for some well deserved rest and relaxation.
I would Love to take my Bestie Ash, we have been friends since we were 14 and she has been there for me, from losing my Dad to cancer when i was 21 and also losing 2 babies, We have 5 children between us, Whilst her Hubby is a Fifo worker and my hubby a Truckie we both rely on each other from long phone calls to girlie movie nights. We never get time for just us ever! so to go on a holiday and have some time without responsibility and pretend we a teenagers again would be Amazing! I Love this girl with all my heart! So please pick us Imperfect Mum, you will make 2 more Imperfect Mummas very happy!
Im not sure how i can compete but id love to take my amazing friend of 10 years Tara. Not only did she have to move towns to get away from an abusive relationship but she is a single mum going through the motions of getting her son diagnosed with autismn. She also lost approx half her body weight and i am beyond proud of how far she has come. I too am a single mum with no help or support from my sons father and both of us being single mums dont have the cash to spare for a girls weekend away. Tara has been there for me through the relationship ups n downs, break ups,losing my step dad to a brain tumour, my pop at the start of the year, always good for a laugh, a great support as a new single mum and my confident xx
I would take my best friend sarah. Even though she lives roughly 12 hours away and we don't see each other often, speak every day. We can pick up the phone and call each other and pick up right where we left off. We have both been through so much and having her in my life makes me realise what makes best friends 'best friends'!
I would bring my Belinda. My mum and her
mum worked together and were best of friends. They were pregnant with us
together so it was sort of meant to be.
37 years of meant to be this year in fact.
I can say we can be polar opposites, I’m loud,
she’s reserved but we have always respected and loved each other’s differences
without judgment. I lost my mum in Oct
2004 and only 5 days before Belinda’s wedding.
She was there for me straight away stood with me at mum’s funeral the
day before her wedding. The next day I stood beside her at her wedding.
We now live 955.8km or 11hr 28min apart
and whilst there is a distance the friendship has never been stronger. I will never have a better friend then her
forever. I am blessed.
I would take my friend Karina, she has had the roughest time the last few years, ranging from a breakup with the father of her kids (best move she ever made!) dealing with her eldest son being diagnosed with a form of autism. Everyday is a struggle for her just to get him to school without him trying to beat her up and calling her everyname under the sun - and I do mean every name u could think - I happened to be witness to this one day.. OMG! I would want to knock myself out dealing with this everyday! She doesn't get a lot of help from family either and I think she could really use a weekend away, so she doesnt go stir crazy and end up in D Ward... I have been friends with her for over 10 years and in this time she managed to cut her foot open on a showride, survived several operations on it, survived her kids and always been there for me no matter what- id love to be able to get her away for a weekend and show her Im there for her no matter what and through thick and thin....
i would bring along my friend Alicia Gee, we have known each other since kindy, over the years we have both made choices that we regret but 1 that we dont and that is having our chidren, due to life and busy lives we lost contact, but 2 years ago we found each other again and both in the same boat single mums trying to just get thru life, we are both now single working mums with little time to have mummy time
I would invite my best friend Rebecca. She moved to Toowoomba for work 7 years ago and the only times I've seen her since are at my wedding (she was my bridesmaid), her wedding (I was her bridesmaid) and once since I had my kids. I flew down for a weekend with them so she could meet them. We lived and taught together in Charters Towers when I was first out of Uni. She was my saving grace and is the reason I am still a teacher. We talk all the time on the phone and on facebook, but never get to see each other because of child commitments and work commitments. I would love to spend a weekend together again.
I'd bring my friend Melissa. She's been there for me every step of the way through one of the hardest times of my life. Almost one year ago my brother died after battling brain cancer for 2 years. Melissa was there from day dot. I'd just moved 400ks away a month before his diagnosis. 2 years later things were going down hill. When my brother passed away in late April last year, I travelled to my home town for a couple of weeks for the funeral and to be with mum and dad. We spoke on the phone every day. Then six weeks after he died and I was starting to get on track a bit my partner of 14 years left me and our kids and moved back to our home town. That particular day would have been my brother's birthday. Melissa has been there for me and encouraged me, supported me and kept me strong through all this. I moved back to our home town 5 months later with the kids to be closer to mum and dad when dad was diagnosed with lymphoma. And so the kids could see their dad more. Even though she'd be losing her best friend, Melissa still supported my every decision.
I would like for me not to go (I am still bf my 5 month old) but I would love for my sister and my mum to go. My sister is 35 in 9 days and has just finished treatment for breast cancer. My mum was her main support. Our whole family stood beside her to help her with months of chemo & radium treatment,surgery, losing her hair etc... But my nothing can support u more then your mum. I would love for them to be treated like queens and pampered....
I would take my friend Sarah (spaz) we have been friends since forever as our farms were next to each other growing up she has never left nsw or been on plane and at 31 this is long over due in the time we have been friends we have never been on a trip away together, she is a single mum to Ben and he is her world she is going to uni as a mature aged student to become a scientist and all of her energy goes into creating a better life for her and her son I am so proud of her and what she has achieved almost completing her phd at uni and making sure Ben has the best of everything no one deserves it more than her and I'm sure we would enjoy a weekend at cairns as our first trip away it would etch a memory for us to talk to our grandchildren about, we would love to see a live band sip on a cocktail eat a 3 course meal and chat around pool
My best friend Helen has stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. She is a remarkable woman. She was diagnosed in late 2010, and survived the chemo and radio therapy in 2011 with flying colours. Her main coping strategy in this first major battle was denial and un-fettered optimism (one of her most endearing character traits). The soft tissue tumours disappeared and she was left with a tumour in her spine. Her cancer markers since then have indicated that things were stable until earlier this year when they began to rise, and her back began to hurt again. Looks like we have battle number 2 coming up, and this time, Helen can't deny her prognosis. If anyone can win this battle and the ultimate war against her cancer, it's Helen. She so can do with some time out and pampering to prepare for this battle, so I would take her if I won!
I would bring my mum, after my dad committed suicide when i was 6 she has been my rock even though she was going through so much herself she always had time to be there for me when i needed someone to listen to or talk to even when i wanted to talk about the few nice things he did while alive ( he was very abusive and i remember so many arguments alot of which my brother and i were involved in i believe he was like this because of the drugs) she even stuck by me when i left home at 14 and went through a horrible teenage phase. mum and i have never really had a chance to just relax together like we used to as life has just gotten so busy for the both of us and i would love to spend some quality time with her
I would bring my friend Lianne Taucher who lives in Sydney and who I miss her every day. When I was a single mum in Sydney several years ago i lived in a little granny flat under her house. We knew each other from work and when she found out I was struggling to pay rent she offered me the place very cheap! She was such a fantastic friend, neighbour and work colleague. At that time, even with 4 children of her own, a hubby and two jobs she would always look in on me and offer help with my new bub. Lianne is an awesome cook and she would make me little bundles of fresh baked goodies and leave them on my doorstep all the time as well as fresh fruit and veges for me (which she bought in bulk and shared). Lianne is an exceptional friend, so giving yet incredibly modest, someone that you know will absolutely drop everything to help you if you need her and i am so indebted to her for her wonderful friendship. I wish that she wasn't so far away!
Soooo many deserving stories below but I live by the 'you have to be in it to win it' :) Sonia and I met almost 10 years ago working for Telstra, and we have equally been each others sounding board, realist, shoulder to cry on, prankster to laugh with. We both left the job last year and Soni moved to Tully to be with her gorgeous hubby and although we try to catch up often I miss seeing her almost every day, hearing her awesome laugh, having her tell me that I am awesome, listening to my ramblings! She is my chosen sister and we have both helped each other through some hard life knocks so spending a weekend relaxing with her will be like Heaven on Earth. Thank you Kristy (I got it right this time hehe), Kelly and all involved in giving the wonderful imperfect Mums this opportunity xox
I would take my best freind dannielle . a way to say thank you to her for the past 5 year's of simply being there. a few year's ago I had a pregnancy growing through my C-section scar. dannielle was with me through the heartache. aswell as being with me when I left a violent relationship with my ex and introduced me to the man I am marrying next year.
I would bring my girl best friend Alyce Constantine... we met about about 2and half years ago when my son and her daughter were 4mths old.. i saw her add on a mother group site.. and ever since we met we have been the best of friends and our kids are also best friends, and she is now the godmother to my 8mth old daughter.. alyce is the most careing wonderful non judgemental friend shes always there for a laugh or a shoulder to cry or even just to listen. Shes also single mother who works full time to give her daughter the best that she deserves, i really admire her and appreciate her friendship
My relationship with by 'best friend' dissolved a few weeks ago because she isn't able to handle the fact I fell pregnant 'accidentally' (I was pretty sure I didn't want kids) & she's been trying desperately for 18 months. I suffer depression & have never allowed myself to desire children, so the loss of her friendship coupled with the shock of being pregnant has really rocked my world. Enter Amanda. We were best friends for 7 years until I got severely depressed in 2005 & cut her off because I didn't know how to communicate through my pain. So much has happened since then including my marriage & the death of my mother & I had thought about Amanda often. I finally built up the courage to contact her again late 2012 & she welcomed me back into her world with open arms & no judgement. She is a truer friend to me than any & I would love the opportunity to go away with her & build upon what we have regained. She has been a great support to me, encouraging me with my pregnancy (I'm 12 weeks) & helping me to believe in myself that I will make a wonderful mother. I am blessed to call her friend once more x
If I'm lucky enough to win this awesome prize, I'd love to be able to give it to my friend Rachel and her sister Emily. I met Rach as my neighbour almost 6 years ago and we had our first babies 3 months apart in 2010. Since then Rachel has endured 2 miscarriages and just yesterday lost her little baby boy Archie at just over 20 weeks gestation. Her sister Emily has also endured heartbreaking loss of many miscarriages and they are a rock for each other thankfully at this time. They are best friends so I think it would be a wonderful prize for them both to spend some time together, to be able to re-group their thoughts and emotions and strengthen their family bond and sisterhood bond.
I would take my amazing friend Hayley. She has been a massive source of support to me. When my son was 9mo he was diagnosed with Leukeamia. Through 8 months in and out of hospital and going through every parents worst nightmare watching my child get very sick from chemo, she was there for me every step of the way. she has also recently lost 20kgs and started her own fitness studio specifically for mums. She inspires me everyday and I would love to win a trip for us!
I would take my friend, Kellie as she has been there for me through my divorce, through my Mum's cancer and subsequent death... I don't know what I would have done without her. She is going through a hard time at the moment, so I would love to take her away for a few days to cheer her up.
I would have to say, either one of my three best friends... They all have very demanding jobs, often flying out for work and always working extremely long hours. Our story of friendship began so long ago, that it is inconsequential now. What they have all done though, is see me through my best and worst, my most beautiful and most ugly, my laughter and my sorrow, my triumphs and my disappointments and every other significant event and happening in my adult life. The one thing that has always remained is our commitment to each other, our love for each other and our desire to be old ladies drinking wine together. We are the divine secret that the Ya-Ya Sisterhood was actually talking about.
I would have to take my sister Ruth, through my life my friends have come and gone but my big sister has always been there. She was the one I went to when I got my period for the first time, cuddled me when I was scared at night and loved me even when I made mistakes. We live in separate cities now but I couldn't think of a single better person to deserve a holiday break than her :)
I would love nothing less than spending a girls weekend away with my best friend of 17 years Tania! We met on the first day of uni in 1996 on Valentines Day. To us that is friendship day! Tania is always there for me & knows exactly what to say in any situation. When I was seriously ill in 2009 in ICU, she travelled 1000kms to be by my side. I will always appreciate her being there for me then, now & forever! Tania is the most honest, loyal & fun loving best friend a girl could ever wish for!
My friend Ashley has a 2.5yr old and is 31weeks pregnant. Hubby works away on the other side of the the country for 3 out of 4 weeks each month. She deserves all the pampering. Even if i dont get to go id look after her daughter so she can just relax. SHE DESERVES THE WORLD!
As soo n as I saw this I could think of no one more deserving then my very own BF, Tamira. We are 1 full time uni student with 3 kids & part time work with not much quality time for my gal & 1 mum of 4 just out of an abusive relationship who definitely deserves a pampering weekend away!!! you Tamira for ever & always you are a star & my inspiration this has been the best roller coaster ride lasting 16 years knowing that you would always bring up when I was down & vice versa!!! I would be lost with out you
Good luck everyone. So many inspiring stories - but here is mine. About 6 months ago, I met Kirsten Dorman. It was by absolute chance. My love of 'junk mail' hahaha. We bonded and spend as often as we can together. Thursday she asked me to watch her two children while she went to the dr. I knew things weren't 'right' with her. She burst into tears and has been diagnosed with PND from when she had her first child FOUR years ago. She is amazing. And I'd love to treat her to a weekend away. She deserves it. Love you chicky. I'll be here beside you every step of the way xox
wow kristy! what a prize! and what a tough job you will have picking a winner....I would love this, as like most mums, finding time for myself is a tad hard, life can be crazy busy, stressful and hard at times and time alone just for me can feel like a selfish indulgence lol... picking just one friend to share this time away with would be really hard for me..there are some incredible woman in my life, each as deserving as the other!
We all have our stories..of loss, infertility, marrige breakdown, miscarriage..family difficulties, addiction, depression..and have made it through the other side.. with the love and support special people the world is a brighter place! Each of them make my life richer, because they all have such amazing qualities. They are good people with great big hearts and I have shared many moments laughing and occasionally crying with all of them..so I would literally have to pull a name from a hat..love everything this page represents Kristy! Thankyou x
My best friend is my mum, even 40yrs later she will drop everything to be with me and help me when needed. She brought me up as a single parent, sacrificing everything to keep me in ballet and sending me to Europe on a ballet tour. She was there through my divorce, keeping me strong and steering me away from the destructive path and back onto the uplifting path. Mum helped me get through university at 30 and the came to stay in cairns with me for the birth of my 2 children. Recently I become very ill and ran mum (my partner is away for work 4wks at a time) as I was not coping and she booked and ticket from Perth to Cairns no questions asked and arrived that night. If not for my mum and her generosity, compassion, wisdom and guidance I wouldn't be the person I am today. Mum I Love You xoxo
