Red Nose Day

It's Red Nose Day today and with my sniffy cold that I've caught from the boyfriend, there was no need for me to wear the plastic red nose!

As I pulled into the company carpark, I was accosted by what looked like a large goose, a wizard and Santa Claus...all holding buckets asking for donations. I didn't have any change in my car, but when I went to the canteen, I bought a raffle ticket and a fairy cake, baked by employees for the cause.

Various people were in fancy dress and there were lots of fun fund-raising competitions, auctions etc. The top auction prize was to have the Managing Director clean and valet your car, a golfing weekend, there was sporting event prizes, football quizzes, etc.

I didn't win anything.

I wonder how successful this year's Comic Relief will be, as I would have thought that most people, having already donated to the Tsunami Relief, may want to keep their pennies in their purses/wallets.

Should be some good tv tonight anyway.

  1. A goose, a wizard and a Santa Claus? Where you work sounds like much more fun than where I work !
