WOW what an amazing day we have had today!
It started early when Jill and I met at Pimlico tube station and signed in with the station supervisor to our allotted day of collecting (which was kindly allocated to us by London Underground). We stood in the ticket hall and started bucket and tin shaking for the next 3 hours. It was amazing actually to see the response that people had and just how generous some people can be. People of Pimlico I have total respect and thanks for you. :-) Jill managed 3 hours of can shaking with her knee brace on fresh from a Skiing injury that will probably require knee surgery. However, she didn't let it stop her accosting alot of people for their spare cash.

We left the train station at about 10,00hrs as the rush hour dissipated. I headed to the office feeling very conspicuous in my BHF shirt with my laden bucket in tow. 3 people on the train gave me money even though I sat quietly for the duration of the journey. Incredible. When we reached the office my mate Dan counted the dosh and to our utter amazement there was £240 odd pounds. Amazing but then the day got even better...
Lara and her mother Susan then took up the charge for the afternoon rush hour and we had all expected to perhaps see a little less as we thought alot of the people who donated in the morning would have been returning but they counted a staggering £336. So that's about £580....!!!!!

All that remains is to extend a very big THANK YOU for the amazing help we received but also from all those lovely people who donated. We are now nudging close to 20% of our total. Yippeeee...........
