I met the majority of my team and a lot of the company staff. Some of which I knew from when I worked at Lemmings and even a school friend of my sisters. They are all a lovely bunch of people and I met the MD of the entire company, who may be a keen businessmen but is a lovely gent and has wonderful taste in architecture. Although my role is an administrator it seems I will spend some time looking after the six lovely gents in my office, who so far have behaved just because I'm in the office. It's a massive change working in an all women team to me being the only woman in the office, but as always I will adapt to this change.
I went out tonight to celebrate Claire Riley's birthday (which was yesterday) even though I was exhausted, I'm glad I did as it gave me the opportunity to see some friendly faces and give Claire her gift.
I had some lovely surprises when I logged on today, I had some emails from the Charity spurring me on and wishing me well, I do so very miss them already but I understand that 5G Communications have links with the Charity. :)
The other surprise is that I have received a further 3 donations online in addition to the two I have received in person.
With thanks to those that are taking me closer to my total:
Lesley Greenwood - Amazing Administrator for the Child Bereavement Charity, Lesley is still fairly new and apart from learning almost everything in the training team, Lesley is in the process of finalising plans for her wedding in April, considering all of this she still remains happy and the light of the room.
Julia Lawrance - Head of Training, always there to help and advise, Julia manages the whole team and will be my competition in the race to reach the 3rd floor roof garden again at 10am Tomorrow :) Best of Luck x
Ann Chalmers - Chief Executive of the Child Bereavement Charity and does a sterling job of it, and even though Ann is basically the big boss, you can always count on her having a chat when she is in the office.
My offline donations:
Sophie Evans - I have know Sophie since we were very little and very different people, throughout everything we have remained friends and stayed in contact :) No matter what we'll never fully part :)
Daisy Johnson - I have known daisy for around 7 years now and she is lovely, if I'm honest Daisy is crazy but I wouldn't want her to be any other way, she is and always has been who she wants to be and I admire her for that.
Now I know your dying to know what my total is now and it is (drum roll please) . . . . £108! Which means that I have raised 43% of my target amount. I must admit I didn't think I'd get this much within one week. Please don't forget that I will continue fundraising until the 30th of May and If you request it I will continue to blog until that date?
I have been raking my brain on what memory to tell you tonight and I decided I'd share a private one that I have of me and Alex, a memory that very few know of (god, this is starting to sound like something out of Harry Potter). Alex and me had quite a few things in common and one thing that we regularly joked about was lingerie - mainly that we both loved corsets, so one year for her birthday or even perhaps Christmas I bought a black corset that was identical to a Red one that I had. May I please add that any guys reading this shouldn't get any ideas as I no longer like them. When Alex opened the present (when she got home from school) she thanked me and asked me to wear mine under my school clothes, as she would too. On the day we both wore them not only were we struggling to breath but when we went into a cubicle to show each other the corsets I had to inform Alex that not only was she wearing the corset the wrong way round but also inside out, no wonder she was struggling more than I was. So as a result I had to help her out of it so that she could wear it the right way round and with the satin side facing out. We fell out of the cubicle laughing and got warned about noise in the corridor, no one knows this but before I met Alex I was quiet, reserved and shy . . . I am who I am today because she brought me out of my shell :) <3
Tonight's Word from Alex
Becca,
ILY, ILY, ILY, ILY, ILY
I don't have anything from you in my treasure box so write me a letter you smexii Biznash!
Love
Alex
xox
I don't think I ever contributed to her treasure box, and I dreadfully regret that, but on the back of this note I wrote "Death is peaceful, easy. Life is hard" It's definitely my handwriting I just don't remember writing it.
Translations:
ILY = I LOVE YOU!
Smexii = Sexy
Biznash = Bitch
Up early to get to London for the Abseil in the cold and wet rain, wish me luck and who do you think will reach the bottom first . . . Julia or me?
PS) I have just checked Julia's total! she has exceeded her target already! Well Done Julia!!!! :) xxx <3
