The total yet to be totted up but a whopping £30m has been raised for charities in the UK and Africa. What did you do to help??

I made Bratling a pinafore so she could be Alice in Wonderland at school.... she looked so cute! She paid for the privilege and had a school disco.

We did our bit with the donation line, bought the nose and the baked bean flavour crisps with whoopee cushion (it's a proper big old fashioned one that really works!) and bought (and ate) Red Nose Cakes.

The nose presently adorns my life sized Mantis, Pearl. It looks strangely appropriate, but the plan to wear it at work all day fell through because it is the most painful one to wear that they've ever devised yet.

Yep, we did the usual stuff again this year too. As Liz mentioned, there was plenty of merchandise to buy but I was a little dissapointed after buying the "Mr. Kipling" red nose cakes to discover that only 1p of the purchase price was donated. I realise that all those pennies stack up but you can bet that Mr.Kiplings share of the spoils was more than 1p.
I'm not wanting to put a downer on what has become a great,charitable tradition, I'm always staggered by the final figures, but I'm not so keen on firms targeting these events as opportunities.
Well done to those who organised all those special events and made us give AND have fun doing it!
