Well today is my ....omph... cough, cough birthday. A lady does not reveal all you know. But I just thought I would share with you something I did which saved a few of my friends trips to shops, or the constant brain ache of what to buy somebody for a birthday, especially one that is so near Christmas.
What did I do, I posted on facebook a fundraising exercise to raise money for the British Lung Foundation. I thought of all of you who hold this group together, all those who have lung problems and all of those that care for people with lung problems.
The net result is at the time of writing I have raised £160. I hope that this news warms the cockles of your heart as much as it has mine.

Well I am the proud owner of birthday unicorn slippers.... Ha Ha I just laughed at something. Suppose someone had given me hedgehog slippers... ( or even one - after reading my last posting here) wouldn't that been a hoot.?
Well the £160 already made exceeded my expectations... so a result there - not including the lack of tramping round shops or head scratching on what on earth to buy me by my friends. I think that's called win-win in the trade! Thanks for the good wishes too. Its really nice to get special wishes xxx
Happy birthday and congratulations on your scheme. Well done. And I am not going to mention cockles of the heart or anywhere else. It seems to lead to some strange and dodgy innuendo, all perfectly innocent I am sure but I am steering clear.
Love and hugs
Kate and an puzzled Zebra who has nothing to do with cockles.
Thank you, Kate, for your good wishes., At the time of writing, I never knew that cockles would go in that direction either. Willful little blighters are dem cockles. I am sure Zebras can be far more biddable xxxx

Thank you for your birthday wish Carolina. I wish my December birthday buddies an excellent birthday too. It is my intention to celebrate my birthday, or at least being able to celebrate my birthday, just by being here for the next 364 days - right up until the next birthday - then continue the process ad infinitum until my candle is finally puffed out...

It may be a number, but I often wonder how did it get so big??? Not that Im complaining, its more like where on earth did all that time go - and so quickly too.
Hi ledge. I did exactly the same thing and raised £160 too. I am delighted with the result and I am also chuffed that you did it as well, every penny helps and we have helped xxx
Well done you, so that's £320 raised that they wouldn't have had. it's a nice feeling.... that's for sure, Although I didn't do it for the praise - It did give me a warm glow - so glow on with with Christina xxx
