    That's brilliant news baby, good luck this year for your moving fund! Thanks Jo, I'm around but busy too so just bobbing on to see what's happening. Does this thread finish on the 31st? Do we turn the lights off when we leave again lol :) I need to work out what to do this year too, maybe I could have another go at DooYoo, I lost interest after a while - ooh! Just looked and I have a load of 'miles' still on there - thought they would have expired! Right well that's me sorted for January's goal, cool xx
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

    Hi Jo - Thanks for asking - I was so touched by the number of people who turned up - two of whom have their jobs 'particularly' at risk. very touching really. A really good bunch turned up and put a great effort into it. Disappointingly, there weren't too many shoppers about and a lot took a wide berth lol even though we were giving chocs and mince pies away for free! I'm hugely touched by the people who took part though, that was amazing really! I laughed 'til i cried lol x

    You know in reality, it would've cost more than it raised - £10 batteries, mince pies, chocs , hats etc...
    But i'm hoping somehow it's got the charity name out there and that even if it's amongst those who raised, the word is out there!
