THE BIG 4-0!!!

It was my 40th on Sunday, so on Saturday night we held a Ceilidh at the University. Kirsty and Pat secretly organised a quiz and a raffle with some fab prizes donated by friends and family.

Carluccios (http://www.carluccios.com/caffes/default.asp?func=where&caffe_id=44&region=54) gave some stuff for a hamper,.

Paul's Organic Food (http://www.soyfoods.co.uk/index2.htm) donated a veg. box.

Venture Portraits (http://www.thisisventure.co.uk/) gave a voucher and some fund raising forms.

On the night we raised £312 for Christian Aid.

The Greenshoots Ceilidh Orchestra provided the music and were brilliant. The dancing often descended into total chaos, much to the amusement of the band. I would recommend them for any party http://www.green-shoots.org.uk/. Sunday morning I felt bad, not sure if it was the previous day's cycling, or whether that last pint was off. a drunk person wreaks havoc on the dancefloor during the ceilidh
