Write a letter, 1 copy that accompany the gift and 1 copy to Jackie that states: The iPad/PowerBook (with serial number so-and-so) is a gift to Martin and Jackie from their friends from Pigeonwatch The iPad/PowerBook (with serial number so-and-so) is Martins to use. I any event Martin is not able to use the iPad/PowerBook (with serial number so-and-so) will be handed to Jackie to use until he is better etc. /Markus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 It's nice to hear that things are moving in the right direction for Martin, I hope that he makes as near to a complete recovery as is possible. It's a strange old malarkey with his family , but that's just how families are I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoolinDalton Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 As they say...you can choose your friends (and lovers!) but you can't choose your family! I sincerely hope that Martin and Jackie get through this ok. His sisters obviously have 'reasons' why they are doing what they are doing. Quite often, these 'reasons' are at best, misguided and more often than not, based on some petty disagreement / dislike, that's festered in their minds till it's become an obsession! Let's just hope that PW's gift to Martin (whatever form that takes) will give him a massive boost and speed up his recovery, knowing that all his friends on here are with him all the way! We look forward to seeing him back on PW Forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Ladies and Gentlemen I am awaiting a cheque from one Member and will close the Lord Geordie (Martin) Support Fund on the last day of this month. I am in discussion with a Member who has access to the NHS Discount Scheme and we are looking to buy an Ipad, with some insurance cover and some prepaid operating costs paid upfront. THANK YOU ALL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANK YOU ALL Thank you Dave for being the management for this very worthy cause. It must have taken up a lot of time and effort. I'm sure Martin will appreciate it after he's calmed down.

It's a big ask to ask her to take on power of attorney just to get Martin his iPad. It would be for the best as it would protect the iPad from being sold off by his sisters, but it is quite an imposition on Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Well had a good long talk with Jackie this afternoon see does not want to take on power of attorney she does not want to cause trouble with the family..A attached letter stating this iPad belongs to martin and Jackie ..would be the way to go.... She has a meeting on the 10th with Martin and the hospital to sort out visiting rights Jackie is the only person Martin has asked to see... so its down to our idea of getting the iPad engraved so only Martin & Jackie have access to it...she said he seems to be making out ok with the nursing staff... they love his attitude to life and he has made some good friends among the staff.....
