O/T Excellent cause

Storky, 15 June, 2011 at 12:09 Posted on Planning 0 62

Ladies and gents,

I wouldn't normally do this but please indulge me.

On 17th July, Red Baroness (Ililacit), RaeM, Spangles and I will be running the Race for Life in Hyde Park. All funds raised go to Cancer Research UK. This is a cause particularly close to my heart and I'm delighted to be running it with my fellow Hitchers.

I appreciate it's a tough time for us all financially but should any of you have a spare couple of pounds, please do consider donating it to this very worthy cause. We'd be delighted to receive any donations!

I've attached our link https://raceforlife.cancerresearchuk.org/

If you're unable to donate or simply don't wish to, please do raise a glass to us on the day!

Thanks very much, Hitchers,

RB, RaeF, Spangles and CB

    Yarr! I try to do most of the 5k races there, it's only 20 mins on the Tube from my house and keeps me motivated to run during the week!

    Huge thanks ladies! I'll ask Mr RB to take some photos of us in our pink attire (I'll be the one in the tutu and leg warmers!) and we'll do a little flash afterwards.

    Its where one of you sits on the bike seat and the other one pedals standing up, its what we call a backy in Hull we have different names for everything round here!

    Job hunting is going crap, not hear back from anyone its so depressing I have been avoiding checking my emails for fear of disapppointment, I havent heard back from the lady you told me about yet, Im going to have to check that some virus hasnt put something really offensive in my CV without me noticing!! Found out today that Hull and Rhyl are the hotspots with the fastest rising unepmloyment, brilliant!!! Also had a text from a mate who gets married in 2 months to say her OH has been made redundant today too! Im going to have to applyto the Trickers and Moomoo show for a job as a runner or something ?

    I'm sorry to hear that. I will speak to Mother Spangles and get her to chase - she was very interested when I told her about you. (That sounded dodgy, eh?!)

    Cheers chuck, I have gatecrashed every corporate event I know of in a bid to network myself into a job, Im scared of being given a business asbo for pestering important people! I even told one man I was selling myself, he looked a bit scared and told me I might want to think about my pitch incase people get the wrong idea hehe!

    I dunno, I think you'd do well at that. You could market yourself as an escort who also bakes? Have sent Mummy S a text asking her to chase up your email. SHould hear sommat back tomorrah.

    If all else fails, shall we set up a bakery?

    Exactly I have a niche, it cant fail!!! Yes i am well up for a bakery just not in Hull as no has jobs so they cant afford cake! I might go door to door with baked products to give me something to do until the bakery is up and running!
