Morning Chris - great show this morning (what I heard of it) and blimey and well done to the winning bidder!

Now, I have a bit of a "thing" going on and it's all Pudsey's fault ....

I am, day by day, hour by hour, turning into LIST WOMAN!

I have lists of who's going to R2 on Friday, I have lists for breakfast, I have lists for the evening meal, I have a list of what I need to do for myself and Nic before we hop on a train Thursday night, I have lists of what I need to do when we get back on Saturday morning.

Where would I be without my lists, and is there a List Makers Anonymous Support Group I can go to!??

Huzzah! for Wills and Kate!

Morning Chris,
The Auction this morning raised a fantastic amount, well done to you and all involved, I can't wait to see how much money tomorrow brings in!!
I have reserved some pledge money to have a couple of goes on the premium rate line myself.
Morning Deevs, not long to go now! Your brain must be frazzled by it all by now! I've tried doing lists, but I always seem to loose the blimmin thing once Ive written it!
Fabulous day here, cold and steamy but very sunny.
T XXXXXXX

Good on you Chris and co. working so hard for children in need. Also Deevs for all her work. Good news on royal wedding. Just what we need.

It was so exciting this morning :D I was a little gutted though when CLP talked over Bat Out of Hell - and it was the shortened version :( Followed by Mr Blue Sky by ELO it was foggy and it's still foggy here - I think it's getting thicker again.

Anyhoo whinging will stop! I have a talk to write (about Corrie Ten Boom) and a to do list to shrink - anyone want to help me?

Hi Chris: what an incredible amount raised today! Well done to all concerned - mind blowing really! I didn't get to hear the auction, so thank heavens for Listen Again.

I was standing in my kitchen this morning, feeling rather dreary, when you mentioned the "Sunrise News". It was so kind of you to say "morning, dark Glasgow" that I immediately felt better!

Cheryl: sounds like you are super-organised. I am a list person too, very meticulous. Until, like FairlyOdd, I lose the ruddy thing!

Hope everyone is ok today.

C xx

P.s. Hurrah for the wedding :D Would be Queen Catherine or would she be Queen Kate lol

Afternoon Chris,

An exellent amount of money raised this morning, some of us can only dream of figures like that; but good on the people who put their money where their mouth is xx

It is indeed good news about the Royal Wedding, there have been a number of good news stories recently and long may they continue; especially in these cold, dark winter months. Do you think we might get a day off for the wedding?

Hi Chrissie xx

AliB
xx

I'm still chuckling from this .....

I've been onto Google Maps printing off directions for Thurs/Fri on a postcode to postcode basis (yes, yes, I know we'll have Mr London himself with us in the shape of the Gawjus Ripstickler, but I@m just being cautious ...)

Anyhoo, I put in R2's postcode and the postcode of where we are dining apres phones, and it's a long haul of ..... 59 seconds on foot!

Huzzah!!!

Deevs, Queen Of Lists!

x

ps: had she still been with us, dear auld Beezles could even have done that one .... in her killer heels too!

x

LOL Ali - A day off was my first thought about the Royal Wedding too!!

Do you think we'll get a mug too? ;-)

I remember going up to London just before Charles and Diana's wedding to see fireworks in Hyde Park - don't really remember much about the fireworks but do remember sitting on the pavement outside the park for hours waiting for the coach home as London was in gridlock!

Deevs, good job with all the lists, we do appreciate it and just think how nice it'll be when it's over!

Seza xx

Seza, that first pint on Friday night will be like nectar!

x

AliB: hiya! Hope you really enjoy your fry-up on Friday. It should set you up for a busy but exciting day ahead. And you want to be suitably fed and watered before meeting CLP! (hopefully!)

xx

Hi again

Very good news about the royal wedding - as I am now self employed, an extra day off means not being paid so it is not that important to me (although I must admit it was one of the first things that came to mind).

Good news about the proximity of the eatery Deevs, as CLP said yesterday, we will be gagging for a drink come 7pm on Friday.

I've just had some good news too. My agency has just called and I have nearly got another contract at the company I have just left (they are waiting for approval for the funding), it is only short term (from just after I get back from hols til the end of January) but it is good for many reasons.

1. I haven't got to look for another contract during what is traditionally a slow month for IT contracting
2. It is at the same company - so no new systems to learn or people to meet.
3. The office is only 4 miles away so if the weather is bad, it won't take too long to get there.

I can now relax for the next 5 weeks.

mtd ffb xxx

Chrissie - AliB managed to get up close and personal (in the best possible taste) with CLP at the O2 last year, don't you remember her and Debs invading the green room? Mind you, you weren't so far away from him yourself!!!

mtd ffb xxx

mtd - that's fab news, and yes, you must be reet chuffed!

I still don't know what to do ref my job. I am actually enjoying it now, and it is literally a 5 minute walk from home, and I finish at 5 which means I can still get home early enough to do a good meal, or even bettererer - go the gym/swimming after work. It's just the money - it really truly is awful.

Big Boss here tomororw. I did ask for a one-to-one with her, with a view to putting my cards on the table re my future/prospects/pay etc but apparently it's not going to happen as she doesn't do one-to-ones with the little people, only those with the word "Manager" in their job title. When I heard this on Friday I was really angry, and yes, a little hurt. But having thought about it over the weekend, it makes me wonder do I want to work here anyway if that's they attitude towards someone who wants to progress and build the team.

We'll see,

Deevs
x

Chrissie, I shall have my camera to hand, not just for CLP but anyone else that might pop in. In fact can I make a plea for The Travel Queen - Lynn to swing by, she never fails to make me smile in the morning and I'd quite like to shake her hand.

MTD, Well done on the contract xx you can rest easy again for a while xx

Seza, I am sure there will be some Royal t-cloths too...LOL xx

Deevs, I want to say that money isn't everything but I realise that we all need to earn some in order to survive. I don't earn a lot, never have, but earn even less now than I did 5 or 6 years ago. But the not having to get up in the middle of the night and pack myself like a sardine onto a train to London and then come home again just in time to make some dinner and fall into bed, far outweighs the money I get in my pay packet at the end of the month.

On some mornings I can get up at 8:15 and still be at work by 9:00 and I am nearly always home by 5:30 with the whole evening before me.

It's good that you are happier in your job than you were and surely no one can be as bad as your previous "woman" boss. You will know what the right thing to do is - just hang in there xx

AliB
xx

mtd: you know, I never did get to hear the full story of When The Bloggers Met Chris at The 02! Perhaps I'll get to hear it at one of the 2011 blog meets! And, yes, you are right I was so close to Chris, it was fabulous. Between Chris being so terrific and Hells Bells being so brilliant, it was a joy to behold. Wish I had not been such a wimp when it came to saying hello to Chris after the show!

AliB: excellent to hear you will have your trusty camera. Hope you get to meet Lynn and the rest of the team - stars, every one!

C xx

Chrissie, I smiled when I saw you use the word 'ruddy!'

I used to think my Mum was so brave, on the rare times that she used it. If only we were to know what the future would hold eh!

Good news mtd.

Hi to everyone else.

Just off to work now.

I may be looking for some support on here tomorrow morning.

I've only gone and booked an appointment!!! Yikes.

MTF.xx

Yikes indeed MTF - whatever it is you've done we will support you.

Now I didn't know what everyone was talking about the other day when they said the blog was jumping - well I do now!!

JUMP! You might as well go ahead and JUMP!

AliB
xx

Afternoon each

Ive jumped Ali...can i come down now?!

Amazing show this morning..i may have even been al little late to where i was going as i was determined not to miss the end of the auction..naughty Scoobs! Day off tomorrow so will listen to the car one in bed...dreaming of the day i win the lottery to be able to do it! Good on everyone who is able and willing to bid...proper makes you feel positive about people doesnt it? Oh, and Ive got my money stashed for the Disco phone lines...the GM wont know whats hit him when next quarters phone bill comes in!


MTF - support headed your way although not sure what for?! My guesses are either hairdressers or dentist?Am I warm?!

Deevs..i echo the thanks for the organising...x PiP has got me organised to within an inch of my life, we have timings,train seats, transport methods and EVERYTHING organised and put together on one sheet of paper! My hats off to those of you who can...I`ll be in the corner with Chrissie and fairlyodd searching for our lists!

MtD - great news re job! and Deevs...burger bout yours..such a shame when you love the work but not the bosses or pay..deep thinking to be done i think..x

Oh, so many people i want to comment to but must dash (how posh does THAT sound?!)... i will just say cant wait til FRIDAY!

mSc x

PS - I am intending to wear my `Beez` shoes on Friday..just cos i thought it may be a way of feeling she is with us...and to see if the journey to the pub can indeed be done in 59 seconds in heels! x

Deevs - I have had a really bad boss for the last 2 years. I had got to the point where I knew I had to leave as it was making me ill. He didn't recognise my abilities or contribution to the company and the only thing that really kept me there was my OH saying "how would you feel if your boss moved on & someone nice took his place?" I knew I would be really peeved as I was leaving for the wrong reasons. Thankfully he has now been demoted, the new guy recognises what I do & I'm happy again.

Not sure there is a moral in the tale other than, if you leave make sure it's for the right reasons!

Off soap box now .......

CG xx

Thanks for your advice peeps - you really are a fab lot! I like my immediate boss, although most of the time I feel that I'm managing her as opposed to the other way round! (she also freely admits this, so it's not just me).

Yes, I would like to earn more (wouldn't we all!) but then I think of the hour's commute - minimum - added to my day should I move back into the Senior PA arena.

If nowt else, I'd have no time to organise stuff ......!!!

Deevs
x

Aw Chrissie, Debs tells that tale so well (with the actions) you have to see it as well as listen.

Perhaps we will have some more tales after Friday.

I'm guessing hairdressers for MTF (she wouldn't be so bothered about the dentist given her occupation and all that....) Good luck MTF - I look forward to seeing the results.

Big Chief CLP

No to be a self-obsessed ego-maniac or anything but isnt it strange that once Dan the Man announces his nuptials in 2011, everyone else drops like flies . . .

Huh!!

DtM x

Camera!! Knew there was something that I had forgotten! Thank you Chrissie and AliB

I don't have a pair of killer Beez shoes but I'll see if I can wear my funky patchwork ones

Afternoon CLP and the rest

Missed this morning's show as I was having a much needed lie in, but am happy to see that lots of cash was raised for CiN. Had really wanted to be down in london on the 19th to help answer the phones but lack of funds/holidays has meant that I was unable to. Will phone up on Friday and hopefully speak to one of the bloggers and make a donation!

Hope everyone is having a good day

Rx

Great show today Chris - just one question! How come Moira is not doing any links or involved in any banter with you guys? Seems like shes just doing the news and thats it.

mtd: there's no doubt about it, Debs is hilarious when she is telling her stories! So, I will look forward to the definitive account of the O2 green room!

btw, I saw on the previous blog that you are having trouble with your shoulder. Hope the exercises are helping - when I had that horrendous frozen shoulder, nothing worked until I had a cortisone injection.

MTF: yes, "ruddy" is what I say when I am trying to be polite!

Hannah: happy to help, re: the camera!

CG: sorry to see that you have been so ill. Pneumonia can be such a tricky illness - you think you are getting better and then suddenly you are floored once more. Good to hear you have been well looked after!

Kandks: I have been meaning to say all day: Happy Birthday! Hope you have had a great day.

JG: I did see your wee "hi" to me last night - thank you! And "hi" back to you! Just hang in there - your situation will take a while to sort out, but you WILL get there. xx

C xx

Crikey CLP - that is some going, well done to the cricketing boys for stumping up such an amazing day and well donererer to the man who has bought it - WOWSER!

Mtd, Chrissie - LOL about the Green Room story - Mtd is right - it needs the actions! I am going to print off the photo and take it with me and in case CLP comes to see us, show him what a fab shot it is - AliB, Bingo, CLP, me (with my hand on his thigh!) and SallyTraffic - what a moment, sigh!

Right off to grill a grad as we recruiters like to say!

3 more sleeps!

debs: cricketing ... stumping ... like it!

Annie: didn't see you on the blog yesterday - hope everything is ok.

Can't wait to get home tonight - it has seemed like quite a long day. Have a nice evening everyone.

C xx

Hello CLP & Everyone.

I wasn't going to post today, the reason bein g that I am moping about feeling sorry for myself. But I've become addicted to this blog so I'll tell my story.

When I was on my way to the doctor's last Friday morning to get the results of my neck x-ray (not through yet) in order to avoid a very windy corner I took a short cut on my scooter. Not being familiar with the pavement situation I became stuck on a kerb, the only solution being to get off and lift the scooter backwards. So for the past four days I've been in agony with a pain in my leg. The happy news is that I go to see the Consultant tomorrow for my COPD check up. So if anything else happens I'll be in the right place.

On a brighter note, it's good to feel the excitement of all those going on Friday and all for such a worthwhile cause.

MM x

PS

***Happy Birthday KandKs***

Maddy

Chin up petal. This ere blog is a very addictive place to hang out. It's also incredibly supportive!

I'm off to college now, even though it's blimmin' cold outside.

Take care everyone.

Deevs

Evening each

Missed the show this morning but what great news about CiN, and well done Chris on allowing us poorer folk to get a look in.

Chrissie, haven't been feeling too great the last few days and was totally knackered yesterday after being up so early to look after little granddaughter. That's the last one for a while, as the weather gets worse. I'll resume after the worst is over.

And ta muchly to Deevs for texting me that Tony Hawks was on R2 earlier. My DVD of Round Ireland with a Fridge has been ordered - the book was really funny so I'm looking forward to the film.

Back later.

xxxxx

Hi all

Well done to Malcolm Bluemel, from the gist of it, he seemed quite determined to win from the outset...missed the last couple of minutes as I arrived at work! Actually I should have missed more than that, but that's another story!

Maddy, you take care of yourself now! Wrap up a bit warmer and tackle the windy corner if necessary!

Annie, hope you are feeling as bright as you should be soon!

Happy Birthday KandKs!!

MTF, hope the haircut goes well, and be strong and determined when you are in there!! When I last had mine cut in July (oops) I was insistent they cut it short, and after once around, I said, no not short enough, until I got what I wanted!! Thankfully it's grown enough now to keep my neck warm!

I am very envious of you all meeting up! Really wish I could be there, but I can't so will try to get through on the phones when I get home on Friday evening!

Hi Chrissie!! xx

JGx

Should have said - Happy Burpday to K.

JG - that'll be you and me here on Friday then. Reminds me of the O2 evening and relaying all the texts I was getting from the lucky ones. We'll keep the home fires burning.

Maddy, good luck tomorrow and, btw, it's ok to feel sorry for yourself now and then.
xxxxxx

WELL DONE TO THE WINNER, HOW DO WE GET TICKETS FOR THE MATCH

Evening all,

Sounds like everyone is getting excited for Friday, hope you all have a blast.
I am on holiday this week, and Mr MC and i decided to have a quiet relaxing week at home. I said it would be good to spend some time at home and we could pretend we were retired ! So far, we have done most of our christmas shopping, are worn out with traipsing round the Trafford Centre and have spent the equivalent to a small countries national debt . Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary so we are hopefully dining out, and on Thursday we are going to arrange our wills !! (not planning on popping off , but it has to be done) . Friday is as yet unplanned . I will be really looking forward to going back to work for a rest ,and it will be cheaper than being at home !!.

MC xxx who will try and donate to CIN if the credit card hasnt melted in my purse

Annie, don't worry, I'll be here Friday!!

TV in one ear and typing with t'other one...no, that's not right!

Errrr, I'll be here anyway! LOL

JG x

LOL MC, it's good to catch up with stuff though!!

Have a good evening tomorrow!! Oops pinger thing on the oven is going off!!

JG x

Hi JG, Thanks !

For weeks on end we have been totally busy , and kept saying, well when we are off in November we will have time to do stuff. I wasnt happy at having to follow Mr MC to the garage at 7.45am yesterday, as he had booked his car in for a service . So that was one precious lie in sacrificed.
In retrospect, i think we should have gone away for a holiday, it would have been far cheaper than staying at home !!

Hope you are ok, thought of you this evening as we were passing the bridge.

MC xx

D'you know, I used to have this chicken like object thatI could just turn the dial on, and it would tell me to check on my tea...

Mr Heavy Handed managed to break it, and now, I have this really complicated timer thing on the oven to deal with..and no, it's no cooked..I've just had to reset it! The stress is killing me!!

I want my chicken back!!

JG x

MC, oh that bridge!!

This morning they decided to put a new lady on Southbound toll, the usual lady did northbound (no queue)...we were still queuing on the A57 to get over the bloody thing!!

Grrr!!

JG x

Hello Again.

Thanks for kind wishes, maybe they'll put me down tomorrow!

I have a complaint to make. How dare Wills and Kate mess us my TV schedule, at least I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here is still on time!

Seriously, they both look very happy, congratulations to them and I hope the papparazi give them some space. I know publicity is required but not over the top constantly.

MM x

JG,

May i suggest a smoke alarm, ...... .
As long as you like your food "well done " it never fails .

Tonight, someone had broken down on the A57 , i was driving along there at 4.30pm, i can only imagine the length of the queue half an hour later.

Deevs , your list- aholic situation made me laugh. I am a list addict, spend hours on them and tick and cross stuff off as if my life depended on it. Infact, i am just off to make a check list on my pending credit card bill.

MC xxx

MC.

Every year at this time I make a Christmas food list, this is ridiculous as it's the same every year but I need to do it.

I also make a weekly shopping list in order of the store. When they change things around it throws me.

Right off to catch up so back in a min.

KKs

Evening All,

Can't blog at work any more. Internet police on high alert seemingly.

Chris,

I was going to bid £50k this morning until I realised that a) I thought I might actually win and b) I don't have a cricket team!
However, I am currently studying for my Level 1a Umpiring course, so I will bid to umpire if that's ok?! It's not just about wearing a white coat, a natty hat and being able to count to 6 ya know...oh no sireeee...
Really looking forward to Friday and spending all day on the 'phone...I think...and the company, beer and food of course...

Nic, Level 1 Umpire Rolastic

xx

Well, I'm off to curl up with Finlay, night all!

JG x

Maddy,

Good stuff, glad they fit.

Seza, hiya , hope you are ok, sounds like you have had a rough time lately , hope you are feeling better .

Night JG,

Am off to watch "Celebrity" i must confess to even laughing at a bit of it last night .

Nic, good to see ya , enjoy Friday, keep em all in check !

MC xx

Oh BTW

I forgot to say thanks for all the birthday messages I am a mere 21, cough, cough

Finlay has deserted me for warmer climes, methinks!

Also now allowed to watch celebity thingy, what on earth is that woman doing there!!

JG x

Rips - thanks for the hello.
Hope you're well mate, enjoy Friday.
KW

Hi KW, will think off you on Friday - hope you're ok and the knees are holding up!

MC, I'm fine thanks, especially now I've got a day trip to London coming quick!!

Seza xx

Hey Seza, enjoy it, hope it's as good as last time.
Yep, the ol' knees are holding up (just), not really enjoying these cold mornings though!!!!
KWx

Evening all,

65K....what could i do with that kind of money? I think I would take a lot of convincing to spend it in a cricket match! Still good on Malcolm Bluemell, I salute you sir!

Gingembre, good to see you on here my friend. ;-)

KandK - Happy Birthday x-x-x

3 sleeps! Whoop! Whoop!

Daughter update! She saw the midwife today. Blood pressure sky high and protein in her wee......go straight to hospital.....do not collect £200. She is now being investigated for Pre-eclampsia, blood tests taken, 24hr observation started before final decision will be taken. She only has two weeks left as of tomorrow! If her condition does not improve I could well be a granddad by the weekend! Just think there could be another child in need by Friday! ;-) x-x-x

Keep smiling

Keith
x-x-x

Hello all,

Keith ,wouldn't that be lovely to be celebrating the new arrival and CIN.
Hope that your daughter is well and it's nice for you to knw that she is being monitored.
How exciting ,have you started pacing yet???

Take care .

Bids.xxx.

And have you got the bottle to wet the baby's head !!!!.

Wonderful Keith.

Somehow, I dont think that he (?) will be a child in need.

I can sense your joy and cant wait to meet you on Friday.

I have been ordered to deliver a hug, prepare to be suffocated!!

MTF.xx

Hi Stace .xxx.

Two bottles of bubbly in the fridge!

As for pacing, no not yet although I am concerned for my child and what she is about to go through. After all I have been through it three times....so I know what is in store for her.....LOL

Keith
xx

Keith ,I can quite understand your concern ,to you your daughter is still your little girl ,always will be .it is a worry ,but shes being well looked after ,and just think that when you are holding that minute bundle in your arms ,the joy that you will feel will over whelm you .

Will be thinking of you all.

Bids.xxx.

Must be going now sleep tight all, and night night you Night Owls .

Twit to you Bids ;)

Night, night Bids,xx

Hi Chris, Lyn, and - what's the other one...? Oh, yes, Johnny... ;-)
Terrific show this morning, was so pleased that you raised so much for the kids. Top music selection also, and great fun with the cricketers - kept me smiling all day! And it WASN'T a good day, work-wise... so, thanks guys - can't stress how glad I am that the three of you (plus the eternally-lovely Moira) are on Radio 2, kicking-off the day. You really make it worth getting up in the morning for me and Jasper-dog at the mo'. Good luck for the rest of the week's auctions! I'd bid if I could afford to... but maybe next year - only the Lottery can save me now, hehehe...
Keep smiling!
Roo & Jasper x

Nice one Roo.

Just reading through some of your blog. Great reading, thanks for sharing


MTF.xx

HANNAH J - Not sure if this comes too late to help you or not, but I know LOADS about Corrie Ten Boom (what a GREAT lady). She was a missionary in the same line as my parents (think they're wondering where they went wrong... hehe... or if there might have been a mix-up in the London maternity wards in the mid-1970's...) At any rate, if I can be of any help with your talk on Miss Ten Boom, her life in Nazi-occupied Holland, the concentration camp, or her work following the war, please click on my name or my blog-post link, leave a message on Jasper's blog (it's filtered and therefore safe) as to how I can contact you and what sort of questions you have and I will be pleased to help you in whatever way I can.
Love and peace - keep smiling!
Roo & Jasper x

Hey MTF - THANK YOU! Means a lot. xx
If you are still online - can you explain why I only got 10p for each of my milk teeth when all my school-friends got 50p or £1? Where's the justice in that?!? More to the point - what happened to that milk tooth that fell out when there wasn't a 'big' tooth to replace it, thus leaving a gap?! You fairies - you stitch us all up in the end. And you with your wings and wands and all that... not fair... ;-) ;-)
Thanks again for the kind comment, though, seriously.
Stay happy,
Roo xxx

Morning folks,

Another night of not being able to sleep *sigh*

Anyway i do hope they hurry up and get merred i'm fed up with it already *shakes head*

If you go to that well known map place that also doubles up as a search engine and get directions for Japan - China & Taiwan - China scroll down the list of directions and you'll find a couple of things that'll make ya laugh :-D

Big Aaahhh for Noah - that must have been worth a few quid

Still waiting for the news stories about how much being done by the new Breakfast Show team - no - not yet? Oh well, big news today, maybe it'll be all over the place tomorrow!

Can I just put a note on here for Wills and Kate ......

Now listen up, you two. Having organised numerous blog meets, my own 40th birthday spectacular and now the biggest CiN mass-blogger phone sortie in history .... if you need a wedding planner just give me a shout! My rates are reasonable and I promise not to overdo the pink bling (well, maybe just a tad ...!)

Deevski's Do's - you know it makes sense!

Why am I soooooooooooooooo impatient!?!

And if Deevs needs an assistant, bit closer to London, who can run around and do her bidding, you know, pop into town and look at halls or talk to the disco - I'm in!!!

Anyone else fancy a CBA day?

Seza xx

Good morning everyone.

Chris - what a show today! You are on fire! I couldn't leave until the end of the golf auction - well done. What a star Mr Westwood is, he deserves to be No. 1. Wish I could have bid.

Noah is sooo adorable! Chris for once you might have some competition there ;o) xx

CG - sorry to hear you are still poorly. Sending you a {{{{hug}}}} hope you feel better soon.

Yes Yes Yes to a CBA day! Sadly Big Boss Lady is due here today. I'm hoping with every ounce of hope in my body that she's holed up in a meeting room all day, tbh!

Mary - safe journey and see you in 2 sleeps!

Hi everyone:

Oh, good grief, I was surreptitiously listening to Chris up until about 9 minutes ago, when my boss came over to my desk and just hovered around! Any one know what the final top bid was? I am quite the convert when it comes to the CiN big bids now!

Mary: lovely to see you here this morning - a wee surprise!

Keith: it is only natural that you will be concerned about your daughter. I am sure she is being well monitored, and she really is in the right place. xx

Hope everyone is well.

Chrissie, What is it with these people?

I sit in my office, all alone, for hour on end, then someone comes in at 9.25 this morning so I missed the last bit of the show!!

Keith, best wishes to your daughter

Seza xx

Keith - best wishes to your daughter xx

Thanks Cheryl xx

Aww thanks Chrissie xx

Chrissie, Seza - can't help on the final bid as I too was rudely interupted!


Mary xx

Seza: I know! It's really annoying. I mean, who does my boss think he is, coming up to my desk while I am listening to Chris?! Makes me seethe!

It does help to know, though, that you and I are in the same boat!

C xx

And Mary's in that boat too!

Morning guys

Fingers crossed for your daughter Keith - she is in good hands

Final bids were around the £65ish K mark- number 7 was around the mid £50sK = Double Wowser!!!!

Right chores for me today and physio this arvo - think she is going to be cross as I've not been doing my lunges - uh oh! Still have been doing the "stork" and standing on one leg and the "ballet" standing on tippy toes - my made up names to make it slightly more amusing!

Oh and to make my 10 phone calls to CLPs gig

catch you laters taters

Debs: thanks for that. Such a fantastic amount of money being raised for CiN!

Deevs, in shock
