Weekend

If moving home is supposed to be one of the most stressful experiences in life, I'm sure moving offices can't be that far behind.  At work my office has been re-located and I've already spent a week emptying cupboards, throwing things out, carrying piles of things to the other office, moving equipment but I still left the new office looking like this when I locked the door on Friday afternoon. I'm not looking forward to Monday morning!

In the middle of 'office hell' we decided to hold a cake stall to raise money for BBC Children in Need.  I stayed up until the early hours of Friday morning, baking and decorating lots and lots of cupcakes.

 

We raised £100 !! So the hard work (and lack of sleep) was worthwhile and I watched Children in Need last night without the usual feeling that I should have made an effort and done something.  I was amazed at the amounts that different groups had raised.  There are some very nice & generous people out there. They had made seriously large amounts of cash.

Did you know that they raised over one million pounds from people sending in old mobile phones?  This is an ongoing project so I am going to spread the word around at work and at home.  You can just pop an old phone in a envelope and post it to

After work yesterday we headed to the caravan for a quick visit, I am back at home now but we had nice but very short break.  The weather was so mild for November.  I took a  pictures of the pretty sky above the caravan when we were out walking in the early evening.

If you are in to cardmaking/rubberstamping etc - Little Bird Design is having a little giveaway.

Moving office is hell isn't it? I remember it well. Those cakes look so scrummy, no wonder you did well with them.

I'm off to check out the old mobile phone thing now - do they have to be 'working' I wonder? Thanks for the link.

Excellent cakes (and fundraising effort). I have an old mobile knocking around somewhere - must dig it out.
