Not sure where to begin really. I have had a great week, but really busy.
Went to get my hair cut, I was beginning to look like a new age hippy, so went to my regular barber. Now bear in mind, I haven’t had my hair cut for three months! You would think wouldn’t you, the Barber would be well within his rights to charge me double. No way, I got my haircut for free and not only that was given a Help for Heroes collecting tin containing £69.67p, how good is that. Thank you all at Man and Boy Barber Shop Wesham.
The following day, I went to get a butty from ‘Fresh Food Corner’ in Wesham one of my regular haunts when I’m working, and they too handed me a collection tin containing £49. 81p, I am just amazed how kind people are. Thank you, I know I keep repeating myself, but really I have run out of words for all the kindness I have encountered.
I have had donations from The Swan, in Kirkham and Ribby Hall. Also I was given £10.00 by Miss R Roberts from Bury and £10.00 from Mary Todd from Blackpool. I’m still in process of adding up, but rest assured I will give you the total as soon as I have it.
At the weekend, Saturday 5th September 2009, we had the end of event celebration. What a night, so many of my friends and family were there, thank you all for coming you made my night a night to remember.
We held a charity raffle, with gifts donated from companies, throughout the NorthWest. There were some mega prizes and the DJ made sure we sold lots of tickets, thanks Haydn from Dave Ward Roadshows. After the raffle, we auctioned off my trusty Buddy ‘Duke’ a H4H teddy decked out in Duke of Wellington beret. Can you believe it, he was sold for £37.50 and I know he will have a good home because he is destined for Debbie and Paul’s grandchildren, so he will get all the cuddles he deserves. Also, I must mention, we had paid for the room at the Cricket Club when we booked, but on the night, the lads behind the bar, returned the money for the cause just amazing thanks lads, you did a great job keeping us all supplied with alcohol, some might say, too good a job! No really, thank you very much.
After such a fantastic night, Sunday really was a day of rest and reflection, it was great, thank you everyone, at the risk of repeating myself, I will never forget it.
Monday brought me down to earth with a bang!!! Have been out working! What a shock to the system!! Still it has to be done. One thing before I sign off just now, some of you at the party will remember there were balloons on the tables (red white and blue), well on Monday afternoon, we tied H4H cards to them and ’set them free’. It would be great if anyone who found one, could drop me a line and let me know where it had travelled too!
I know the blog is becoming less frequent, but there will be another post once I have collected all the money in and I can let you know the final total, thanks to you I have already ’smashed’ my target so here’s hoping I can double it.
The rest of the week I have been working, although the weather was so good yesterday I went flying, it was great, I kept a look out for the ‘liberated’ balloons, but no luck! Be back soon to update you on my total.
