It was the annual 'Children in Need' extravaganza on Friday. Work, despite the cloud hanging over the building, entered into the spirit of the day. We had cake sales, picture sales, raffles and Pudsey Zumba, which is the same as normal Zumba except I wore my Pudsey ears for it, I sweated like a lunatic but it was great and I really enjoyed it. Within half an hour of Zumba, I am full of sneezes, I spend the rest of the day, sneezing two or three times every few minutes, it's ridiculous. Maybe I'm allergic to Zumba?
Last I'd heard, we raised about £500, not bad eh? I only watched a little of the TV evening but I had to share a couple of special moments. The first is a children's choir put together by little Aled Jones of 'The Snowman' fame, over 2000 children from 15 locations across UK and Ireland singing one of my favourite songs, Simon and Garfunkel's 'Bridge Over Troubled Water,' and the story of a little girl called Ellie who broke my heart and made me want to do more.
Had to share with you Ellie's story, it broke my heart.
