You may have heard a strange noise earlier on today – it was me squealing with glee.
Why? Read on to find out …
Well, we’ve only gone and blooming well done it – yes, we’ve just hit the £20,000 target set to raise during the All Counties Craft Challenge!
*pops champers and guzzles gleefully – spits out as I’m supposed to be driving later*
THANK YOU ALL for helping to make this happen!
Once again my sincerest thanks for all of the help and support you have shown for this challenge over the last, almost, year.
All my love.
