Ok, I haven't written anything for a while, but I haven't actually had 5 minutes to myself...but I've picked out the highlights!
Recently Blue Peter have been doing a Mission Nutrition campaign, which involves huge Bring and Buy sales all over the country. Being the little fundraisers we are, myself and the rest of the Southend Youth Symphonic Wind Band decided to have a stall, and sell penny sweets and stuff!
We also were asked if we could appear on the show, and play something! WOOOWWEEEE fame here we come!
So there we were, brand new orange t-shirts, Blue Peter badges pinned to our chests (well...to our t-shirts) all tuned and ready to go, when one guy in the production team comes out and says "sorry no time for you..."
The disappointment :(
But we stayed and played backstage instead, which seemed to drum up a lot of attention.
Overall I think we raised about £70-80 for the cause, so it was definately worthwhile in the end.
Some of us even got on TV...
Haha...Jake even got in on the action...
I think he was flirting....The saucy grab kit...
Anyway...
It was also Mark's birthday recently..Hoorrray!
To celebrate, we pottered up to London and had a private tour around Tower Bridge, which was all kinds of awesome! We had the nicest tour guide and the view from the bridge was amazing, it was such a clear night! Also went for a nice meal at Pizza Express near Tower Hill, who were very good, and postponed our meal until some more of Mark's friends turned up and also served mark the cake we bought for him :) Cheers guys.
Anyhoo...enough for now...must go practise being miss ambulance lady for my ambulance assessment on Sunday......
