Wine Tasting Evening 24th Jan

wineMy Last Fundraising event is fast approaching – a Wine tasting evening on the 24th January in Glasgow City.

MARIE CURIE_logo_cmykIt is being hosted by a lovely gentleman who has a large knowledge of wine and who has agreed to share with everyone attending how one goes about picking a nice bottle without paying a fortune for it.

There will be the chance to try 5 different red wines and 5 white as well.

Additionally, there will be a choice of nibbles – specifically chosen to complement the varied types of wine.

So do come along and extend you knowledge of wine in good company and relaxed atmosphere.

Tickets are £10 pr head and can be obtained from Kyle or Charlotte Gordon.

Life Technologies!

I do love where I work and not just because of the sweet and crazy people I have the pleasure of working with every day, and the groundbreaking research that is done here.

But because they do actually support their employees!

Just had confirmation that they will pledge £500 to the cause!

I am so happy and proud of where I work!

Round 2 – DING!

Getting the cans ready again – heading to Morrison’s tomorrow and Saturday with the kind help or Gaenor & Heidi for day one and Carolyne & Kyle on day two.

Hoping it goes just half a well as it did last weekend where smiling politely and saying good morning to all of Asda’s shoppers brought in over £1100!

Have a sneaky plan of doing a car boot sale on Sunday – but will have a look at the weather closer to the time, i must admit.

Weekend well spend

So I’ve spent the weekend rattling buckets with friends at the friendly Asda stores in Bearsden & Bishopbriggs, and it has been very fruitful indeed.

We managed to collect £610 Saturday and £530 today. A total of £1140 is heading to the bank and from there to my Just Giving page so Marie Curie will get Gift Aid on top.

I am most grateful to all the friendly folk of these two towns for giving so very generously and to my friends and husband for giving up their their time to help reach this astounding amount.

Next up is Morrison’s on Friday & Saturday!

Let the bucket rattling commence!

First bucket rattling day is tomorrow – a day earlier than anticipated – as ASDA in Bearsden had a cancellation for tomorrow and phone me to give me first dips on it.

Went for it and now have a couple of lovely people to help me rattle buckets in the gentle direction of people from 10 – 17 tomorrow.

Really hoping this goes well and sets a good indicator for the other dates i have lined up for September.

September is going to be THE bucket rattling month for me, as I have tomorrow and Sunday in two different ASDAs, then next Friday & Saturday in Morrisons (with a car-boot sale on Sunday the 15th in Milngavie), followed by another weekend of rattling on the 21st & 22nd.

Then i get a wee break before going at it again on the 6th, 12th and 13th October in my lovely ASDAs again 🙂collection tinJust need to figure out how to fit some hiking in to this schedule as well…guess at least I will be getting used to being on my feet all day again.

It feels good to have a plan!

Carwash @ work

Had a carwash at work yesterday. Washed 18 cars and am utterly worn out today but did make £90 & Ronnie and Eilean have offered to make it an even 100 🙂

Very happy about the outcome of that – and honestly couldn’t have managed more cars.

 

Marie made an amazing £132.25 at her carboot sale the other week – for which is most grateful 🙂

Things are coming along slowly but they are coming 🙂

Have 6 days of bucket rattling lined up for now and hopefully a couple more in the pipeline. Might have to ask for some help with them – the more the merrier when doing these things!

Car Boot Sale!

Marie McKnight is very generously hosting a car boot sale on Sunday morning (0800 hours, 25/08/13) at Thainstone Mart, Inverurie

It’s here if you fancy going!

She has very kindly gathered an amazing amount of stuff all in aid of Marie Curie! Keeping my fingers crossed that the weather will stay dry, and that she has a great day.
