A BIG THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS to all those other competitors who showed up on the night.

Really, I couldn't have done it without you. Win, I mean. Boy did I win it. Big style.

If you are someone who didn't make it on the night, or missed your chance before hand, and would like to sponsor my puny efforts of the 1st of December post-humously, please feel free.

This can be done here on line or in cash, face-to-face, without having to do any typing. Please let me know if this is your preferred option and I will make necessary arrangements. For more info about why I pursued this codswallop, please go to: www.justgiving.com/buildingfund



18/11/07 That one from Val Graham was beefy. Mysterious Benefactor.

18/11/07 (later same day) Val Graham, you have been served.

21/11/07 OK, bulletin. My colleague Michelle has raised over £1000. This is seriously Effed up. Donations are slowing here. Time for some kind of emergency tactics. Sabotage perhaps. New target set (see above) that reads HELLO, on a caluculator if held upside down (REALLY doesn't work here). And new picture (above left).

22/11/07 Thanks Kathryn! Yes, apparently the persistent emails do work. Lesson: if you are ever struggling to convince someone to do something, simply keep repeating yourself.

24/11/07 Manatee, that only happened ONCE. When are you ever going to let that drop. Its as though its the weirdest thing you've ever seen.

25/11/07 I am in search of a leotard to wear on the night of the event. I have found some full-body lycra suits including hood and gloves, but this is straying into fetish territory and takes too long to deliver. If anyone knows of anywhere I can get one, please let me know asap. I have also tried American Apparel and they only make them for women. I've cranked down my target to a grand. COME ON, THE FINAL PUSH!

25/11/07 (later on) Correction, I mean a UNITARD. A leotard covers less of the body. Unitard sounds better too.

02/12/07 What can I say? You backed the winning horse. As requested, I made an exhibition of myself. Pictures and, hopefully video, will be available to view on FaceBook and MySpace. Those that do not partake of 'Social Networking Utilities', please let me know via email and I will send you relevant evidence through that medium. Thank you.
