Hi Judy, yes all the staff pay £5 each to wear pj's, so loads of ££ raised. I patchworked the baby quilts, add a border, wadding, plain back then I just crazy stitch the border. This keeps the center nice and plump. took me 2wks. Hugs

I dont work on Friday's so I have missed the fun today. Two years ago I dressed up as a Nurse and embroidered a badge with Matron of Amputations and had a hacksaw in my top pocket. I wore my daughters training uniform. My hacksaw got in the way a bit but yes its fun and raises a lot of money for good childrens causes

Well done you! I rather miss being in school on Children in Need day as we used to do loads of silly things to raise money. I'm afraid all I did this year was cough up to sponsor other people to do stuff. We did donate our club raffle money last night.
