mundia Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 We are going dotty for Children in Need this year! (as some of you have already noticed on the forum logo). We have decided to do a limerick thread as we haven’t done that for a while, and it proved very popular when we did it in 2006, and as our summer quiz in 2009. We would also like to beat the score for the number of posts on the Children in Need limerick thread, which was 269. The idea is to have some fun so you don’t have to donate if you don’t wish to, and I’m sure many of you will be doing something yourselves. Mundia (oh dear, that's me!!) will be playing a game of hide and seek with Pudsey Bear, and Beau will be doing one of her famous quizzes, and later on in the evening Happymaz will be hosting an event in the chat room to see how many members we can get into there at once! There will be lots of lovely prizes on offer throughout the day including FSF mugs, badges, books on early years issues, and even three £20 cash prizes! Make sure you pop in here on Friday and join the fun! And here's a taste of what to expect, courtesy of the lovely JaquieL. The Forum has prizes galore, Including those mugs we adore. So come to the Forum, Abandon decorum, Your rhyming will fill us with awe. And as always the place to donate is here.
Helen Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 You totally brilliant lot Thank you for doing what you do....looking forward to the event.
narnia Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Oh! I won't be able to take part, I'm afraid, as I'll be doing my usual stint on the C.I.N phonelines........................and taking your money if you call in!
Guest Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Wooohoooooooo! *rubs hands together* Can't wait!!!!
JacquieL Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Oh! I won't be able to take part, I'm afraid, as I'll be doing my usual stint on the C.I.N phonelines........................and taking your money if you call in! Good for you Narnia and you can be sure that we'll be carrying on with this all weekend, so you may get time to have a go.

sunnyday Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 How exciting! Is there a dress code for the 'chat' event?
SueFinanceManager Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 How exciting! Is there a dress code for the 'chat' event? Not sure but surely spots must feature somewhere
beth1 Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Oooh I shall be in at some point tomorrow night! Once again I am looking forward to the annual fun event! Thanks to the people who orgainise it for us! Beth
sunnyday Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Not sure but surely spots must feature somewhere Ah...now ......I was going to wear my yellow faux fur hotpants.......would they be considered inappropriate do you think?
mundia Posted November 18, 2010 Author Posted November 18, 2010 as long as they have spots, anything goes.. so if your hotpats are spotty, go for it.
sunnyday Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 as long as they have spots, anything goes.. so if your hotpats are spotty, go for it. Fantastic - I can soon add some!!!
Guest Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 has anyone found pudsey tshirts etc?? There appears to be a lack of merchandise this year (though I admit I'm leaving it a little late in the day!)
redjayne Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Asda had some - thats where I got mine -adults and childrens - and Sainsburys had other bits and bobs too
HappyMaz Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 has anyone found pudsey tshirts etc?? They had some nice bright red ones in Asda!
HappyMaz Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Look forward to "seeing" you all there - I can "BEARLY" wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was a very paw pun, nona. You'll have to raise your game for tomorrow night, - there'll be Stieff competition! I am going out tomorrow evening but will get back as soon as I can so that chatfest can begin. There may be the odd prize to win, so I hope you'll wait up and come and join the fun! As for the dress code anything goes really, but we have to remember the first rule of chat is that what happens in chat stays in chat. I'm making a personal bet on how long it takes for the Two Ronnies Syndrome to make an appearance, and how long it takes to beat last year's record for the most people in chat at the same time. First I need to check how many we managed last time!
Fredbear Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Hip hip hip hooray its Pudsey time again He brings us all good cheer As children in need is here So join in all the fun Its all for little ones We can all get really spotty And if a somewhat dotty I hope you all have a great day As Terry's on his way.
JacquieL Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Ha ha good practice for our limerick thread which mundia will be launching later on today. So save them up until then so that we can beat our record.
beth1 Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 I have my dotty Limerick ready for latter on! Just need to do the shopping and a wee shower before I join you all tonight!
