i've just had to put an email out at work for 'Children in Need' We're having a dress down day. Whats everyone else doing, if anything?

I havent heard of anything as of yet, but i think ill mention it :)

at work we are making cakes and selling them (and eating them ;) )

although I wont be making them, my other half has already made a start :)

Ahh I saw that on the BCC Children in need website :-)

At work we are having bacon sandwiches in the morning, baked potatoes or soup at lunch, making cakes and bakes to sell, dress down, name the baby competition, interesting fact quiz, name the pudsey, buy a badge, a raffle and we are selling badges.  We will be very busy!

We are having all sorts of madness going on all day. I work in a school though so its particularly poignant & the kids love doing something different. Paying 50p or a £1 to wear what you want it a good and easy way to raise money.

Who else will be sat at home on Friday watching C.I.N and crying?! I will be :-(

My daughter has to wear her hair in a wacky hairstyle for school :-) she's so excited.  I will be watching and rushing around for saturdays show.

> Who else will be sat at home on Friday watching C.I.N

Don't know about the crying part but I'll be watching for Take That plus they always have fun things on, isn't Richard Hammond doing a cameo in Ashes to Ashes? Should be fun.

I work in a small office (only 3 of us) so don't think we'll be doing anything but I always donate on the night.

I love seeing the celebritys doing silly things & quite often the cast of one of the soaps do something entertaining.
I always get upset when they show the 5 minute video's of where the money is being used and tell the storys of the real children in need.

We are having a dress down day at work tomorrow, and have been running a gift sale in one of our meeting rooms all week, with 10% of proceeds being donated to CIN.

I don't know whether I'll watch it all on the telly tomorrow, but I'm sure I'll catch a few bits of it.

My sons school are doing a Pudseys Pantry so last night I made some biscuits for him to take in today. Tomorrow i will give him money to buy them back again lol. They are also haveing a dress down day and paying a pound not to wear uniform. 

Bit disapointed my daughters school are doing nothing she is at high school.

One of the events going on at our school is  "Mock the School" (instead of Mock the Week!). GCSE Drama students have organised it for lunchtime. Charging 50p to go and watch. I cant wait!!! Theyve got questions like "Worst excuse for being late for school" "Worst thing a cover teacher can tell you" "Discarded exam questions". Should be a giggle

i went round the office where i work selling tea and cakes.
Also i made neck ties in the spotty pusey fabric and sold them for 2.00 each.
I made over 345.00 pounds and im so pleased!!!!!!
Did you hear that its a record breaker this year with nearly 21mil made last night and lots more money still to come.
What a wonderful people we are to keep giving to others dispite the recession.

I made over 345.00 pounds and im so pleased!!!!!!
