Gift Aid Awareness Day

4th October 2019

Things we talked about today…

Laura had her first solo gig yesterday in drawing a raffle for HPH Chartered Accountants. It went great and they raised £1000 for Dementia Forward – however all of the other offices were crowding around computers waiting for the Facebook Live to tell them who had won the prizes, only to realise that Robert had accidentally set the Facebook Live to go on his private Facebook and not the firms page! So… thanks to Roberts mum who was the only person that probably watched live. The video and winners are now up on the official page!

It's Gift Aid Awareness Day today as charities lose £560million every year in unclaimed Gift Aid… tick the box guys!

Ben and Jess are expecting their baby to come very soon so are getting prepared. Last night Ben tried to fit his isofix Car Seat and because he has a fancy sports car it wouldn’t fit properly! So Ben decided the only option was to look on autotrader to sell his car instantly! It’s ok.. the neighbour came round and fixed it in within 5 minutes. Ben still cried actual tears though.

Sofa Stats!

1st October 2019

Things we talked about today…

An Update on Big Ian’s Xmas Presence event! Big Ian and his team have found a venue! For the past two years, Ian and his family have hosted around 100 elderly people in a venue for Christmas dinner and lots of fun! These are people who would’ve otherwise spent Christmas alone – so it’s a fantastic day where hearts and bellies are full! BUT Ian still needs a venue to host around 100 people with kitchen facilities on Christmas Day!

An eventful weekend for Ben and Laura went to a Spa at the weekend and the spa lady accidentally burped in her face whilst giving a facial…and Ben now has permanently curled toes after Jess shrunk his trainers in the wash.

Apparently on average we keep our sofas for 11 years, and in those 11 years the blokes get kicked out of bed and sleep on the sofa 191 times.
