Tea Lady Me :)

On sunday, I helped set up and serve tea and coffee at the Tacky Annee's first Tea Party. It was a great evening and I really enjoyed the time there, even the washing up was ok! :P
Thanks to Maggie and Geoff for letting me come and help and I hope to help out in anyway I can in future!
So now we're on the count down to the total. This weeks overall total is £3090, only £410 to go. I'm soooooo excited as we have recently had a  meeting on what we're going to do and see whilst we're out there. To look at our updated itinery and photos from Miss P's trip, click the link below....

Thanks for reading and have a good Christmas :)

£3000 Reached

Today I reached £3000 towards my final target, only £500 more to go, woohoo :D
From the fete I did in Temple Ewell today I raised £46, so a Big Thank you to everyone who bought something from my stall.

This is probably the last event that I will do before Christmas so have a Merry Christmas :)

A little creativity :)

So recently, we've had the half term, so I've been able to get my crafty fingers going.
On the 3rd Dec I have Christmas fete in Temple Ewell, so I've made a few Christmasy bits to sell :)

I made Christmas bags, cards, calendars and wreaths so I have plenty to sell on my table :)
I also got a bit nifty with my nail art, here's a few of my favourite examples

Penguins, Leopard print and Pacman
I am hoping to make my nail painting services more publicly known and maybe some 'How to do it yourself' leaflets so keep an eye out for one of those.
Let me know what you think :)

Woah! I'm Half way there ;)

YES,  that's right, I am half way towards my target figure wohoo!
YAY!!! So happy with all the work I've done and really want to say a MAHOOSIVE thank you to every one so far who has contibuted to my funding and made what I've done so far possible!

Being a Washer-Uper...

Since I've started back at school again it's been hard to find time to raise money but on Friday I was given a little job to do at one of my parent's friends Birthday party.
It was a 40's swing dance theme and there was lots of music, a band and A LOT of guests, which all had to be fed. So I was in the kitchen along with my younger brother, my parents and Maggie (the hostess) making pies to feed all 80 guests, microwaving mushy peas, dishing it up on the plates and then serving it to the guests.
But what comes out full must come back empty..... and dirty! Which meant that for the remainder of the evening my brother and I washed up! It was hard work and it took a long time but it was worth it as it meant that everyone else could go and enjoy the rest of the evening.
I would like to say a BIG Thank You Maggie and Geoff for allowing me to come and do work for them and I hope that you both had a great evening!

Just to finish I thought I would show you a photo of me actually doing some washing up, to prove that I did do it! Hopefully I should be getting another photo of the whole kitchen team soon, keep looking out for it :)

Capel Garage Safari a Success!

On Sunday, I took part in a garage sale up in Capel and it was extremely successful. I sold most of my stock and made £105 to go in the Borneo fund (which is the biggest single earner I have done as of yet!) I'm hoping to fit in a couple more boot fairs before the seasons ends, so I'll let you know when those are but after that it's time to start selling stuff on eBay ;)
Obviously now that we're back to school finding the time to earn money will be harder but we are hoping to hold a quiz night, a disco, I'm trying to sort out my Festival in the Hall idea and a Halloween disco has been proposed too so lots to orgainse.
Make sure you keep checking out the website every now and then to keep up-to-date with all of our achievements. :)

Deadline 1...

So today is the deadline for the second installment (£1392) and I'm happy to say that at 11.50pm on the 31st August, I made it (with 10 minutes to spare). A last ironing session meant that I had the money just in time :)
But ironing was not the worst job I have had to do this week.

Above is a picture of my parents car, which they took to a festival and drove around a field for the bank holiday weekend... so i spent all of tuesday afternoon cleaning the mud off of it :)
