Decided To Organise A Barn Dance In Aid Of Tsunami Appeal

[fishpieface]

That way we can give a little more and can all have a jolly good giggle too. If anyone lives in Essex and wants to come, I'll keep you posted as to when, where etc.

Off to start putting plan into action (and finish cleaning my windows!).

sounds fab - miles away from us though

[fishpieface]

That's a shame, SM.

Just got in touch with a local-ish group who's barn dances we used to go to years ago and they are going to price something up for me. They are brilliant & I know will make an excellent job of it.

Got to talk to hubs tonight about it (after I've gone to get eldest boy a pair of trousers for school tomorrow cos he's just produced his and said there's a little hole in them and would I sew it up). That's boy language for he's ripped half the leg off!!

That is a great idea fishpieface!

I have been thinking of things I can do personally too, yours is a super idea 🙂 I hope it all goes well. Good luck with the organising!

Great Idea Fishy, spent Xmas in Clacton with MIL not too far for us,we in Surrey!

[sparkling*sm*waving*fairy*wand]

Hmm - 160 miles. Not that bad. I could drive it but would wet myself when I got to the M25.

[fishpieface]

Alexia - you're a star - thanks for locking this at the top. Will post details when finalised.

It was a piece of cake yesterday, SM (the M25 I mean) - hardly any traffic, don't know where it had all gone.

Wouldn't it be good if the M25 was really a piece of cake? You could just eat your way round it!

Love to Barn Dance

Love any kind of dance ~ particularly for this kind of venture


Love to drive ~ but Essex is quite a way away from Lancashire unfortunately!

Would probably fall asleep by the time I got there

Sure it will be a good DO though!

Congratulations on thinking of a very good idea that so many people can participate in

Good luck with the organising of it all!

I hope it goes really well and raises loads for a truly worthwhile cause.

*way too far for me though*

[*piano*festooned*with*fairy*lights*]

Too far for me as well Fishy! Good luck with it though - sounds like great fun.

[*nellie_the_elephant*]

I would love to come but too far I am afraid.

Great idea though:o)

Hope you raise loads of money!

[*piano*festooned*with*fairy*lights*]

Hey Fishy - you ought to sort out a coach party!!

[redreloader]

Great idea Piano, we already have the driver!!

*images of coach weaving all over the country*

[*piano*festooned*with*fairy*lights*]

Have bus, Fishy!! Will you drive please!

[redreloader]

PMSL!!!

[*piano*festooned*with*fairy*lights*]

[redreloader]

LOL, Yes!!!

Looks just like me!!

Would love to come but we don't live in Essex any more!

On a similar note, I'd just like to let everyone know that my sister (who is normally the world's greatest chocolate fireguard) organised a coffee morning on the 2nd Jan which raised £2410.00 for the appeal.
It's a good time of year for that sort of event as everyone donated all their unwanted Christmas chocs and gifts for raffle and bring and buy prizes - plus people donated a lot of money anyway.
We have our differences but I was proud of her for doing it.
