Jamies Page is really coming on, I have managed to get a couple of sponsors who have given us a few links that are search engines. So basically every time you use these search engines our sponsors will give us 2p to donate to the appeal at this moment in time there are 3 links which if you were to use all 3 would be 6p a day donated to the appeal. There are instructions underneath them telling you how to do them but any doubts feel free to ask. I hope I will be able to add more links in the future.

Firstly I would like to thank everyone who came to the Tollcross Arts & Craft Fair on Saturday. Ok we didnt get as many visitors as we would have hoped for but it was still a good day as I got to see people I met at other fairs as well as meeting new people too. The event also had a raffle which raised some cash for Simpsons babies, as soon as I find out the total raised there I will update this space.
Second - I have set up a link exchange page please visit and see if you can exchange your web site's banner with us.
Lastly - I have set up Jamies Page which is a dedicated page to our chosen charity of 2009, please visit and see if you can help us to raise cash for a well deserving cause.

I have decided that our nominated charity for 2009 will be The James Bulger House Appeal, I watched the documentary last week and just thought hey lets help his mum reach her £1,000,000.00 target and get a real memorial to James who I'm sure you will all agree was a lovely wee boy and didnt deserve to be taken away from his parents so tragically. Please keep watch to find out how much we are raising and fingers crossed we will be donating a fair bit at the end of 2009.

I had a stall at Leith Scout Hall in aid of Hope Worldwide. It was a good day, there were lots of people in the hall and some nice stalls too. The choir gave us entertainment with some nice christmas carols and I even won a prize in the raffle lol. I donated £10 for my stall but as of yet unaware of how much the event managed to raise in total but as soon as I find out I will update the site
I received news the other day that this event managed to raise a massive total of £700 + for Hope Worldwide which is great considering the amount of people who turned out for the event.

I had a stall at The Royal Mile Primary School Christmas Fayre, it was a great day, the children really enjoyed themselves, I can't believe how well my stall done with the children they loved it, most of them bought christmas presents for their mums, grannies, sisters and even friends. I really enjoyed myself today. I managed to donate £15 to the school.
