Fire...fire!

 Yesterday was an exciting day with the container coming to take lots of boxes off to Kyrgyzstan and Ted being named. This will be reported in the next blog.


Meanwhile......if you recall Monday when Wendy and Barbara were seen putting out a fire, what we didn't know was that there is a fire chief too, we'll be safe in the warehouse no matter what!

I hope you have enjoyed the blog so far, we're not finished yet though!!!  Through the weeks we've tried to show you a variety of crafts, activities, fun and people, including visitors. Some jobs however, can get over looked as the people who do them are not around all the time.

Two such people are our Finance helpers Colin and Sue Harris. Colin and Sue come in towards the end of each day and collect all the donations. They then spend each evening dealing with the cash, cheques and online donations. We have found donations in boxes given in pennies so it is some task.

This job also means dealing with the associated paperwork, going to the bank each day and paying it all in. It is a time consuming job and we really appreciate them both, even if they are not the most popular people with the bank..... all those coins!

More beautifully dressed Barbie Dolls came in this week. They start with no clothes and hair in a mess but they leave perfect with two sets of clothes. Not forgetting the boys action men too kitted out with their trendy clothes.... yes two sets of course.
