Ok - so you have the usual Dress Down Fridays , and global gift aid requests for those running marathons, 10k's and the like at the weekend , and you often get adoring parents bringing in their sponsorship forms for their beloved angels...but this week we are having an all new event.
Cake factor eeek:
Over 50 people have offered to make cakes and it will cost you ?1.50 to try a sample of those you most like the look of ( limited to 10 cakes only ) . Your cakes will be scored and a winner declared ( unknown prize as yet though rubschin: ) . The proceeds are all going to Chareety - hopefully not something to do with tackling obseity lol:
Could be the best ?1.50 I may or may not spend ( depending on the look of these things) in a long time cloud9:

That depends on the size of the "sample"!
Honestly this is getting more and more out of hand. One of the things I DON'T miss with the boys now being educated at home is the almost continuous begging bowl that the schools send round.

The prize will be a cake... point:

I remember 'hash cake' being all the rage back in the 60's.
That should get the donations up.
