Hello everyone,

I just want to say thanks again to everyone who encouraged children to bring money, who bought anything and generally who helped today - it went really well, then children raised £85.02 for Annaswamy Primary School in Bangalore, India - a slum school, with absolutely no resources. That will go such a long way! Your patience was greatly appreciated, and sorry to those of you who were left with remains after lunchtime...I never thought all those biscuits would actually sell out!

Thanks again!
