Yesterday I promised a list of some of the shiny stuff that people can win if they buy tickets for our lovely fundraising raffle.
Please note, that due to your unstinting generosity, this is not a comprehensive list. Things are still coming in, which is utterly amazing and brilliant.
It’s hard to know where to start really. I think I will just plunge in with a random selection:
A pair of tickets to the National Trust Guided Tour of the Beatles Childhood Homes in Liverpool
A bottle of Veuve Clicquot champagne
4711 Eau de Cologne
Smirnoff miniature gift set with shot glass
A Kikoy (a fabulous scarf) from the Edun label (that’s Bono’s environmentally friendly fashion label you know)
Various pieces of beautiful jewellery, necklaces, bracelets etc
A spotty four person teapot by Emma Bridgewater
A limited edition digital print of Leicester rendered as a soundscape

and so much more:
There are also prizes which are local to people who live in Leicester, like offers of meals, and cinema tickets and hair cuts, which I will be posting about over the next few days with acknowledgements and thanks, along with links to all the wonderful businesses who have helped us.
So many of you have donated, and I have tried to thank you all individually. If I have forgotten, please accept my apologies, and I will attempt to be more organised and rectify the fault in the coming days.
Tickets are the bargainous price of £1.00 each
If you want the chance to win any of this, if you mail me, or comment at the bottom of the post, I can sort you out a ticket. Long distance ticket purchasers can donate their ticket money via my Just Giving page and I will scan you a copy of your tickets, so that everything is in order.
If you win something, I will happily post it to you at my own expense.
If you don’t want a ticket, just sit here and feel a warm glow of pride at what you have helped me achieve, and be stunned that I simply haven’t managed to list everything everyone has given yet. That’s how much there is of it!
Blimey! That’s a very impressive list. And with at least two more items to come from us, don’t forget. I also have the prayer flags so will bring those along as well next Tuesday. xx
Keith
I definitely hadn’t forgotten you
I’ve omitted about thirty or forty other things at least, because I wanted to give a flavour of the items. Will be posting more over the next few days too…
Michelle mentioned your prayer board idea on the radio yesterday. Did you listen?
Am really looking forward to Tuesday, in fact we were just talking about it. Were your ears burning?
xx
No, I didn’t listen to Michelle. Guess I should.
No burning ears here either but we were talking about being sure we remembered everything we needed to bring for you — think you might need a van! xx
I shall definitely be buying some tickets. How much are they? (I do know this cos you’ve said on facebook, but not here!!!)
Mrs Jones
Thanks for that. I will nip in and edit furiously!
They are a pound each.
I posted your birthday present today btw. I am extraordinarily proud of myself. Hope you like it.xxx
That really is an impressive list Ms Boo. It will look like Christmas all over again at your house by the time everything is in
Sharon
It already does. I can barely reach the desk now!
MS BOO! PRESENTS HAVE ARRIVED! I AM SHRIEKING! YOU ARE TOO KIND!
Huzzah!
Me, me, me, I want tickets please!!
I will decide how many I want, then donate via justgiving.
I have sorted your tickets for you honey. Thanks for the donation. will scan and send in the next few days.xxx
