Chris - you are just the best xx As I always do as I'm told ;o) I will bring along Chrissie's slice of Fruitcake as well as my own for signing xx

See you Friday xx

I was having such a pants morning - I am now over the moon and grinning like a complete eejit!

CLP - some of us are having brekkie round the corner before our shift starts - let us know if you want a bacon buttie bringing to HQ!

Anything Chris? Hmmmmmmmmmm
Cannot wait wait wait!!!!!!
But am also gearing myself up to work me butt off to get as many pledges in as possible, there are so many kids out there who need our help.
Boywonder is climbing the walls in excitement at the thoughts of Mum meeting the real life Pudsey.
Himself is climbing the wall at the thoughts of flying solo with the two childer all day and night, good luck with that love!
Just off to drop off the cake Ive made for the local taxi driver to ensure he gets out of his pit in time to get me to the station on time!
Amazing work on both auctions again this morning Chris!
Morning Deevs, how are you this morning?
Keith, hope all is well with your daughter.

Laters, T xxxxx

Chris: you are just wonderful - Fact. Even though I won't be there on Friday, my book will be - thanks, Mary!

Also, Chris, can I just say I am now a total convert to the "big bids" for CiN. In the past, I did grumble about the huge amounts that could be bid by peope with the money. But, I get it now - and I realise I had the wrong end of the stick! Well done, and I hope you raise an absolute fortune tomorrow too!

Love, Chrissie xx

Morning all!

just pooping in from t'other side to say how excited I am about Friday! Will have my book in my bag and pen will be poised! CLP - you are a star!

Woo Hooo - Thanks CLP I'm soooo looking forward to meeting you properly (we did shake hands briefly at the O2) but silly me didn't actually say anything...... Will have my piece of half eaten (read) fruitcake at the ready (I understand you have your own green pen?)

That's it I am really excited now. Can't type fast enough to keep up.....

mtd ffb xxx

I don't start till 2 - will CLP still be there? (Me and my Mum had a whole conversation about who I might bump into)

Going to buy the Fruitcake at lunch - decision has been reached :D (Only have to decide where to get it from now lol)

Topic of conversation at dinner yesterday in my friends house: why was i so excited about going to answer phones - I then pointed out that it was for CIN and that it was at Radio 2 and that did it lol.

Well done to those of you going down to man/woman the phones on Friday. I think you are all fab and deserve a huge pat on the back.
Enjoy your breakfasts and dinners together and meeting Chris too!
I know you will all be working very hard for the privilige.
I doff my cap in respect to you all and can't wait to hear how it went and see some piccies on FB when you get the chance...

Love 'n' stuff, Daisy x

Oh!

Oh!!

Oh!!!

Silly grin and leaky eyes!! Good job I'm in the office alone!!

Really looking forward to seeing all you guys - two sleeps!!

Chris, have fruitcake in bag ready for green pen!

T, Pudsey spent quite a while with us last year but did tend to laze around with his feet on the desk!! Naughty Pudsey!!

Oh, and in breaking news this morning, Boy1 found my watch in the road outside my house this morning - it's broken!! Into pieces!!! D'oh!

Seza xx

For some bizarre reason I just can't concentrate on work now. Somehow, the spreadsheet I am supposed to be populating has lost its appeal (like it ever had any in the first place!?!) and I just want to play!

Deevs, a very dizzy fluffy duck indeed!

x

I went in to work before the final total was announced. What was the final bid?

Keep up the wonderful work CLP - you make my journey in to work in the mornings worthwhile xxx

Afternoon all

Love you Chris, great show this morning. xx

Mary, have a lovely time on Friday and mental dog is much better now, thank you. xx

Keith, best wishes to your daughter. xx

Hope you all have a wonderful afternoon.

I am spring cleaning the house today. LOL!

csn. xx

Thanks clp, looking forward to seeing you on Friday, taking lots of pledges & seeing the other bloggers!

Bring on breakfast

Love Cathmel x x

Wow how exciting, I'm getting even more excited now. Chris, please can you tell Lynn to pop by as I'd love to meet her - thanks xx

I'm going to have to buy a copy of the book at the station, otherwise it might just be the old copy I get signed.

Many congratulations on this mornings wonderful show and all that money raised xx there really are some great people out there and if they've got a spare thousand or two then more power to their elbow :)

If it's all right with my fellow bloggers I will be bringing a few leaflets for the project that I visited in Zimbabwe; they have an alternative Christmas present thing going on. No pressure, but just in case you don't know what to buy Auntie Mabel!

It's going to be great meeting old pals and new ones. I've printed off the maps and looked up the train times! One more sleep in my bed and then one more sleep in my old childhood bed which more often than not I almost fall out of! That's what comes of now sleeping in the middle of a double bed!!

Is it lunchtime yet?....Almost

AliB
xx

AliB - my train goes into KingsX so if all else fails I can grab a copy on my way through if you like :) I'm meeting Scoobs and Pip at the station so hopefully we manage to find each other lol.

AliB - I can even bring home made fruitcake if it's requested lol. Make my Mums fruitcake semi famous lol

Hannah J - Thanks for the offer but I think I'll be OK to purchase it; if not are we pals on FB I'll try and hunt you down and perhaps we can swap mobile numbers just in case I can't get hold of a copy.

Yes bring your Mum's fruitcake - yum yum

AliB

Good afternoon bloggers and schloggers!

Chris, thanks for the blog. It is great to hear your enthusiasm on the radio for such a good cause as CiN. I personally cannot wait to (hopefully) meet you on Friday (searching for something to be signed) and maybe a photo or two. ;-) I am giving my time more than willingly even though I have to work harder this week as I only have four days in the office. ;-)

I am just so excited and really looking forward to meeting so many bloggers! Only two sleeps to go! Bring it on……. LOL

Thanks for all of the support regarding my daughter. She is still in hospital (best place for her, agreed) and will be tonight as well. After that the doctors and midwifes will make a decision as to the way forward. She just wants it to all be over now as she is 38 weeks cooked. For me, well I am just as excited as an excited to be granddad can be on to be granddad day! She, like me will have to be patient I guess. Xxx

Keep smiling

Thanks CLP!

I missed the end of the show, but I loved what I heard. And now another mention for the already over-excited bloggers - bang goes my afternoon of concentrating hard! Will have to keep the silly grins to a minimum or my boss will think I've finally lost the last of my marbles!

Can't wait to meet the bloggers, you and anyone else who pops by on Friday and MOST important of all, to do something for CiN. Thanks to all who've made it possible!

Off to find that elusive Pudsey t-shirt tonight...

over-excited AnnieOakley xxx

I have a book! I have a pen!! I will be there on Friday!!!

Whoop whoop!!!!

(A very excited) Deebee X

PS CLP, can you please have a word with your mate and colleague Mr Mayo and ask him if he would be so kind as to pop in as well :-)

Morning... Soz Afternoon CLP & ALL...

Bingo Star 'ere...

CLP - Now The Westwood Gig is one thing a would definately 'ave been bidding for if a me finances were in a financial position... postitioned financially ter allow me ter finanace a position ter allow me ter partake ter bid for The Westwood gig!!!!!!!
But sadly they are not... so a bit later am off ter ring your most nice premiumn phone line ter give a bit ter The CiN & maybe ter get lucky & getta palce on the Dine & Disco gig!!!!!!
As they say yerv gotta be in it ter win it!!!!!!!!

As for The Westwood... A ave many a time crossed paths with 'im... Once in the car park at Royal Lythm St Annes when Lee was walking back to 'is car... we sort of nearly bumped inter each other as we zig zagged through the parked cars.... And once a Wentworth a pointed out 'is ball after 'e 'ad 'it it inter the rough!!!!!!
And at Wentworth again on the range... and at 'oylake... and... yer get me drift!!!!!!
Ave been following the guy from Worksop... for many years now!!!!!!!
The bloke who Greg Norman famously said Lee Westwood 'as a somwwhat unorthadox golf swing (slight chicken wing at impact - whereas all the other top pros 'ave a VERY straight arm at impact) But look who's the World #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As for the Fridee gig... Am very much looking forward ter coming along ter give me time ter 'elp raise money for kids who need abitta 'elp!!!!!!

Only problem this morning after working 5 most long shifts at work today is me first day off (booked a few days annual leave) & me manic depressive father 'as done it again to me: Said a can stay at 'is place in London, then the day before am coming ter London, when it's too late to book a good 'otel at a good price... rang me ter say 'e doesn't want me to stay there!!!!!!!!
'e 'as done this over the years so, so, so many times now!!!!!!!
Only 6 weeks ago after 'e did the same... a week later when 'is mood lifts 'e phones me & apologises & says I can stay when ever I want... I can treat 'is spare room as a 'otel room... from now on it is my room to use when ever I want!!!!!!!
Again why I don't just book a 'otel in advance... I will never now why I believe 'im!!!!!!!!
I think it's because I try to keep my friendship/ relationship going with me father even though 'e is the most self-centred, selfish person you could ever meet could with 'is severe manic depression!!!!!!
All me father says is can't I cancel going to London!!!!
CANCEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm doing this to 'elp a children's charity!!!!!!!!!!!!

So i've spent all morning when i've got so many other things to do on me day off... searching for 'otels... trying to change my travels plans to come to London!!!!!!
Trying to find a suitable 'otel the day before is very difficult & a can't afford to stay in an expensive 'otel!!!!!!!
Plus besides i'd rather give the money to CiN!!!!!!!!!! ;)

But the good news is after a lot of searching, all morning, ave found a 'otel for Thur & Fri night... reasonably close to where us blog dudes are going ter meet & the CiN gig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Family... can't choose them.... when will I ever learn ter trust me father!!!!!!

Soz ter bring the blog down with me family problem... but at least it's all sorted now & a can get on with looking forward ter 'elping at The CiN Music Marathon!!!!!!!!!!

Ave even been practising saying words with 'ayches' included......

Honestly a have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bye!

What a brilliant show this morning - I was driving to Stevenage so was able to hear the whole thing for a change - whoop!

So much enthusiasm and I just wish I had that sort of money to join in.... there will be several £1.50's out of CG's purse though!!

I'm sooo envious of those of you meeting up on Friday, have a fantastic time, and raise loads of dosh for Pudsey!

CG xx

Cheers Chris,

Loved hearing Noah - Live on air this morning.....he sounds too cute!

Another herculean effort this morning, which left me feeling quite gutted that I cannot get near the sums required to secure a place on the Mag 7. It also left me feeling in awe of these hard working bidders who choose to pay a massive premium to a charity - in order to secure a rare and valuable prize.
The final feeling I was left with was pure jealousy as Max continued to vent his not inconsiderable excitement about your GTO....or 'The GTO' as it should probably be.
The fact that you will let relative strangers drive this piece of history, says so much about the type of guy you are. Let alone the amount of personal favours you must be calling in from Luca and his team - Just incredible!

I know you don't pay much attention to it - but your detractors really ought to look further than the end of their noses when they lay in to you.

I guess that's why - as Seza said - those who predicted the end of Breakfast's involvement in CiN are very quiet at the moment......

Good on you and all the team behind it Chris.

Keith - if it helps at all - The CMM suffered from preeclampsia with our first, and with the exception of about 14 hours of labour, ending in an arrival through the sun roof, everything went very calmly....Well, I say calmly - not sure the CMM would, but you know what I mean.
All the best to you all mate.

Hannah - I have no idea what Chris' movements are (despite years of stalking), but if you would like me to purchase a book and get it signed in the morning (if that's when we see him) to be sure you don't miss out. Let me know. I guess he may be around in the afternoon - but just in case!

Look forward to seeing you all on Friday

Afteeeeeernnnnooon aaaalll.

What a great amount of money the guys are bringing in for CIN. Totally amazing to hear those sorts of figures. And to be able to be in the Fab 7 drive and dine, that would be a dream come true, especially with the chance to drive Mr E's new GTO.

But, unfortunately, after much consultation with the wife and the on-line bank manager and my little boys spare change pot (sorry) and wondering if I still need 2 kidneys, I was still coming up a bit short, too say the leas,t and £90,000 for a round of golf with Mr Westwood. If only !!!!!

Oh well, off to Le Touquet tomorrow for a boys golf trip so will just have to pretend that big Fred, our low handicapper (who has zero similarity to Lee, hence the name BIG) will be like playing with the worlds number 1. Maybe we can get him a Lee Westwood mask.....

Une belle journée à tous

Bingo - I've texted you!

x

Ello Cheryl... i'll text yer back!!!!!

But it's ok, the problem is sorted... ave managed ter book a 'otel now!!!!!!!

PS ALL - Ave just phoned the Dine & Disco 'otline... The Q yer ave ter answer... am VERY excited as a now, sorry know, the correct answer..... but am keeping stum as ter what is the correct answer!!!!!!!

Gotta go.... need ter think of something for CLP ter sign.... mmmnnnn ... am deep in thought????

Bye!

Bingo - good news about the hotel. Well played!

See you Friday.

Deevs

afternoon blog masses, looking forward to Friday. Will be bringing along Pts 1 & 2 of CLP this was your life so far for squiggling in green pen (other colours are available). Did my revisit to @sd@ last night in a vain attempt to procure tent size CiN t-shirt. No good

Ali - I think I added you as a friend on FB :D Hello! Fruit cake - having suggested it I then realised its Wednesday and we are in the city on Friday that doesn't leave much time for Fruitcake baking.......oh dear. I will send my Moby no to you later on I need to remember to send to Scoobs and Pip too so we can find each other lol.

Rips - That is so lovely of you. That would be a really good idea if you're happy to do that....erm are you on FB?

how much did the golf go for? i too was rudely interrupted at the end of the bidding.

DD out

DD - £90K I believe!

Tim Westwood, the World's No.1 golfer.

Who knew .......

Deevs, pimp my Micra

x

No worries Hannah - I am always on bloomin' facebook!!

I'm sure that someone reading this who is friends with both of us will be happy to do an intro....

It's not a problem though - consider it done.....

Cheers

Rips

x

I can intro you both when I get home later?

x

Ta Da Deevs to the rescue!!!

Ali - I was so excited by your reply to my text that I missed my pocket while putting my phone and away and dropped it - it nearly ended up in the bin! ARGH!!!!! TOo excited - must do work must do work!

Cheers Nut job x

Rips my dahlink, you soooooooo have a way with words!

Consider it done - probably by half five as tonight is my Home Alone night whilst Nic goes and learns even more about cricket!

Deevs, a bowled over maiden!

Didn't you know?

I'm the last of the great charmers you dufus!
I've just dunnit me self - wasn't too hard......

;0)

Rips

x

Doh! Dufus Deevs!

x

hey Chris, any chance of the newest radio star doing autographs on Friday? Bring Noah Evans on! You may as well bring Tash and we can have the full set. A from the girl on the sofa, will suffice!

DD out

Rips - got your message will reply later :D Got to focus now and you lot keep distracting me!

What a lovely blog Christoph and what a fabulous auction this morning - brilliant!

I too am excited beyond words at the thought of meeting you on Friday and also meeting up with all the other mad bloggers who'll be there - it'll be great to be able to faces to names at last!!

I'm sad though that the lovely Hazel Love won't be able to make it and I thought might be nice if I take a card along with me and get anyone famous - including CLP of course - to sign it for her. Ooh, we could all sign it as well so that she knows we were thinking of her. She was so looking forward to Friday and it's a crying shame that she's not well enough to make it. What do you all think?

I never did find a Pudsey t-shirt but I'm hoping that Fairlyoddmother has managed to get us some Pudsey ears - shall we wear them on the train Fairlyodd?!!! That's one way of guaranteeing us a seat I spose, although I'm hoping the 5.40am train won't be too busy ....

jillygoat x

Just a quick hi and bye from me as I am off to work now.

I hope all our Cornish Bloggers are ok, there are some terrible flooding reports coming through. I have got to tackle the Somerset Levels this afternoon and I just know, that there are going to be one or two dodgy areas to cover.

I survived the barbers, well done to those who guessed correctly. What a wuss eh! I was out of there in a flash, they were daft enough to suggest would I like to book another appt for nearer to Christmas. Which Christmas would that be then, 2012 maybe!!!

Oh well, just off to pop wellies into the car and then I'm away.

Is anyone just the slightest bit excited about Friday???

I wish I could stay for the meal too :(

Oh well, you cant have it all.

Have a lovely afternoon everyone.

That was a quick one wasn't it. LOL.

MTF.xx

Great idea Jillygoat,

Give my love to Hazel

Intro about to be done
Tiggs xxx
Getting 'cited about Friday.............!

someone beat me to it

Guys, I know you all think I've done wonders with this CiN malarkey, but can I please please ask for some positive vibes to be ummed my way. I've just had a call from an agency with not one but TWO potential jobs ..... and so begins the waiting game again!

Deevs
x

Deevs - consider the vibes to be well and truly umming!!

And if the potential employers would like a reference, just get them to ask us bloggers xx

jillygoat x

Deevs, everything crossed for you.

Why is this blog jumping yet again!

csn. xx

I've never had jumping blog syndrome. Plenty of flutterbies in my tummy, but no jumping blogs.

Thanks ladies - means a lot!

x
x
x

jumping blog?, never seen that myself either!
Major positive vibes umming there way Deevs

Tiggs xxx

Got 'em crossed Deevs!! Hope you've kept a record of your CIN organising project to show your talents!!

Wish I could go to school instead of the boys!! Have just got a letter to say one of them has a trip to the Olympic Venues to tour round all the stadiums!!

How cool is that?

Do you think I could pretend to be him for a day? ;-)

Seza xx

Ummmmmm - positive vibes winging your way Deevs.

I haven't had jumping blog syndrome either - but is that why CLP played King of Rock'n'Roll this morning - you know 'jumping frog Alberquerqui'???

mtd ffb xxx

Very best of luck Deevs, and thanks for all your hard work organising us lot.

I'm loving the auctions this week and I'm staggered at how generous people are. Chris is quite right - it's not being flash, it's people who are fortunate enough or have worked hard enough to have a few quid choosing to donate it to a brilliant cause. And that makes me very happy.

Speaking of being flash though, Debs and I are meeting at Paddington where we're going to get into a taxi and, with a toss of the hair over the shoulder, say "Broadcasting House, please driver." Well, it's not every day you can do such a thing, is it?

Can't wait to get on those phones. Bring it on.

Barmy xxx

Seza - does the blazer/sweatshirt fit you? I'm afraid I'm a bit out of touch with what constitutes schoolwear these days - in fact if the local school is anything to go by, you will get away with it by wearing anything at all.

Lucky boy anyway, I hope he enjoys it.

mtd ffb xxx

Afternoon all

Sorry for absence v busy at work. Just a quick pop in to say best off luck to all those doing the phones on Friday and to Deev's for the jobs.

Seza - Have you thought of asking if they want parent helpers for the day?

Cheers

A

Deevs darling, so much positive vibes coming right at ya! I do hope all of your good work in aid of CiN is on your CV? That will get you a job no problems. ;-) xxx

Jollygit/goat, what a great idea. I do miss, Ms Love. xxx

Maybe, just maybe the bloggers could chuck a few quid into a pledge pot and try get a song played for a dearly departed/not forgotten blogger? I know the CiN calendar is a very nice tribute we could all have a sing along. LOL xx

I am off to the hospital to visit my daughter...

keep smiling

Keith
x-x-x

Andy, I did! I am going to put a note on volunteering to help!

Mtd, despite my reminding him regularly he is my little boy, his blazer drowns me!! Great bean pole that he is!

Thank Jack Frost for that, heating just switched on!

Really wintery out there today

Seza xx

MTD
I remember a young girl ringing ARF once and asking for 'Hot Dog, Jumping Frog' the innocence of yoof huh?

Tiggs xxx

Devvs - thats super exciting! Sending muchos good vibes or bives because I can't spell this afternoon!

Deevs I've said it and I'll say it again you have done an awesome job making sure that we are in the right places at the right times and making sure we get grub and stuff like that.

(three cheers?!)

hip hip...........

Hooray!!

hip hip

Hooray xx

Seza,

I agree about the cold. It's certainly colder now than it was when I walked to work this morning!

AliB
xx

HipHip!

Seza and AliB - I nipped across to the warehouse with out a coat or a jumper (I'm wearing a long sleeved and short sleeved top) was so cold when I came back it was FREEZING!

Chris love the show and it keeps me in a good mood on the way to work each day in Liverpool. I think what you are all doing for Children in Need is fab and the prizes you are auctioning are awesome. The money you have raised for the once in a life time events is incredible, however I could not help feeling a little sad the there are so many golf/cricket fans who would give their right arm to have the opportunity of taking part in just one of those events,unfortunately most ordinary people would never be able to donate the sums that have been offered,especialy if like my husband and thousands of other sports mad fans you are out of work. Good on the generous pecople who have offered thousands for the auction, just thought that perhaps one day you could open it up to everyone regardless of financial circumstances, perhaps by making it like a raffle where you pay a standard fee and take your chance,I know you have done that with other things, but to play wth Lee Westwood and Freddie Flintoff is a dream come true for some people.Keep up the good work and by the way what a little cutie your sons sounds.

Awwww, you lot are so lovely! I've had an awful hour and just popped in for a catch up and now feel quite emotional.

If anyone deserves 3 cheers it's you lot!

Deevs
x

No no Deevs - you are fab! And I think (if you're okay with it) that I might have to give you a hug on Friday.

I'm all yours Hannah! (if you can get past Nic ....!)

x

By my count we are missing a

HOORAY! Well done the deevster

Maureen, I hear what you are saying but that is why Chris has the raffle for the dine and disco sorted this year - go on to the home page and look for details there. I know its not sports like Ian Westwood, Freddy et all, but it is pretty bluumin fantastic non the less

That reminds me - time for 2 more go's - spreading them out in case that helps LOL! silly billy debs

Hi troops:

Crazy stuff here in this office, so I won't get back on before close of play.

I just want to say that the blog has been terrific today. Mr Evans could never have imagined what a wonderful bunch of people would show up on his blog. I think Chris acknowledges this by what he has said today - it's wonderful!

Cheryl: I have seen you in action - your organisation in Liverpool was very, very impressive. Well done on everything you have done for the CiN gig.

Hope all you Broadcasting House-bound bloggers manage to sleep tonight (and tomorrow night) - I know I wouldn't!

Have a nice evening everyone.

C xx

P.S. Just for the record - the page IS jumping!

Greetings CLP & ALL...

Bingo Star 'ere...

CLP - A just wanted ter apologise for the recent 08.04 opener tunes a recommended on the previous blogs... errrr Ozzy Ozbourne & Rob Zombie!!!!!!!!!!

Both yesterdee & terdee a noticed after the most nice Moira 8 O'clock news that yer went for more quiet... less intrusive music than the mad mayhem of metal & 'ard wrock of The Ozbourne & The Zombie... so a just wanted ter recommend this tune instead >>>>>



Glad ter 'elp CLP.... most glad ter 'elp!!!!!!

Bye!

PS 446k for The Goodwood gig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A told yer motosport is damn expensive!!!!!!!!!!

Evening each

Yes CLP, this bunch are the best, aren't they? Hope to see them on the telly and remember folks, if you see a camera pointing your way, give us all a wave.

xxxxx

Hello CLP & Everyone.

Cold, wet & windy here on the Wirral peninsula.

WOW! I can feel the excitement on the blog now as the event approaches. I won't be there but I'm nervous and excited on behalf of everyone else.
I think it's great that so many people donate to this wonderful cause, from the people watching it on the telly to the multi millionaires all of whom contribute in their own ways.

I will wonder who it is I am talking to on Friday. If I say "this is MaddyMoon and it's not a blogger it doesn't really matter as they'll just think I'm a bit odd and no harm done.

MM x

PS I won't write on here what I think about my ex husband (Bingo's dad) because I'd certainly be moderated but this little song is appropriate:

On the telly Annie??! No chance - we're at R2 during the day, not at the evening tellython dooodah - we'll all be to busy quenching our thirsts by the time that tellython starts!!

;-)

x

Annie, hope your feeling better now. xx

Deevs, well done on all your hard work. xx

csn. xx

Hi Marjie, hope your ok.

csn. xx

Hi CSN.

Went to see the consultant today for my COPD check up. I'm doing OK, no worse and same treatment to be continued.

Just need to get my leg better now and I'll be AOK!

Hope you're OK!

MM xxx

Hello all.

So sorry I cannot now join you on Friday at CiN. Have a great day all those going. Say hi to CLP for me.

Hope everyone is OK.

Thunder

Oh Bums Deev. Well, enjoy the drinkiepoos and have a wonderful day.

xxxxx

Marjie

Glad things are stable and hope your leg gets better soon.

Been spring cleaning the house today. LOL!

csn. xx

Always enjoy drinkipoos Annie!

x

Evening!

All this excitement is so good! I really wish I could have been there too! Would be pushing my luck with work and himself though :( I hope everyone has a fabulous time, even though you'll all be working hard!

I was all excited as I had a parcel, well largish jiffy-bag, through the door when I got home, and thought it was something good! Turned out to be a boring membership pack for the trade body I belong to, that I won't even look at :( Grumpy now!

JG x

I've already made my donation Deevs - for a handmade card, beautifully crafted by one of our very own bloggers - but I hope you make shedloads of money for CiN.

Silly me, eh? How can I not remember London and the rivers of alcohol!

xxxx

PS: Marj, glad today went well.

Deevs, have a wonderful day and enjoy your drinkipoos! xx

Hi Annie, hope all is well with you. xx

Evening CSN

Feeling much better ta. Was oot and aboot today, meeting friend for lunch then visiting 5yr old and 7month old. Bloomin' cold isn't it?

xxxx

Hiya

Really excited but also a tad nervous about the task in hand on Friday.

CLP pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeese hang around until after 2.00pm as some of us can't get there until then. I really need to get the second book signed and have a hug as I did when you signed the first book.

Only managed to catch about half an hour of the show but the excitement was electric and the playlist wonderful. Just wish I could listen to all of the show.

Really looking forward to the hugs and drinkies afterwards too - see you Friday peeps!!

Sus xx

Annie

Glad your feeling better and its freezing here too.

xxxx

Susan, are you taking the camera? Hopefully loads of photies will be on FB by Saturday. Hope you all have a great time and the rest of us poor souls will be thinking of you all.

Right, am off to run a bath and try to get rid of this own-brand blister plaster, it's rubbish. Have had the blister since the songbus and, no, I don't know how I got a blister sitting on a bloomin' bus.

Back later.

xxxx

Why has Simon le Bon got a beard? He looks sooooo much better without it.

Sorry you won't be there Thunder, you'll be missed.

MM I'm sure we will know it is you whether or not you introduce yourself with the blogger name.

Glad you are feeling better Annie.

mtd ffb xxx

Don't know about the beard - not bad I think - but Arlene Phillips is looking a lot younger these days if a little stretched!!!
