All the cakes I'd made |
White Fairy products |
Setting up this morning went fairly smoothly but was quite rushed towards the end. We were just finishing up when the first person arrived. It was one of my Gran's friends so she was lovely about having to wait a few minutes. There was a big table full of cakes, a footstool full of raffle prizes that family members had donated and we'd set up a small table of White Fairy products to sell - I'd decided that half of any money made from these would go to the charity.
The event didn't go too well in the end. Only a handful of people turned up and looking back I should have put a lot more planning and organisation into it but that's definitely a lesson learnt for next time! I managed to raise £43 though so it wasn't a massive flop! I had a great catch up with a few friends too which was nice. One of my friends, Smoggie, was quite poorly as a child with various forms of cancer and recently underwent some quite dangerous surgery to remove another lump.. He still managed to make it today to show his support which was fantastic! We joked at one point that he's the only person we know who would attend a cancer charity event with cigarettes in his pocket. Before he left he posed for a photo to remember this by - it just had to be done!

Hope everyone is well! Jxx
