We made £22!
What's amazing about that is that I didn't sell anything at all...it was all in raffle ticket sales! No. 1 Son was a bit slack at the beginning, but then he worked out that all he had to do was hassle all the people he knew - mostly Cubs/Scouts/Beavers Leaders and their spouses (spice??) and their kids...plus other Cubs - and he'd make a sale! The tickets were 20p each, so...a quick bit of maths shows that he sold 110 tickets! What a good boy (well, 100 - I sold 10 from a secondary book while he was off around the place selling...).
You know what the really strange thing is? Daughter (she who is going to Sweden...with the 22nd World Scouting Jamboree...I'm sure I must have mentioned this before!) had a Table Sale at school - and she made £22.19! Not sure where the 19p came from - but weird that we made the same amount of money!
Anyway, not the £120 I was dreaming of/wishing for, but hey, it's a lot better than nothing at all!
I shall take photos of (and put up in my Folksy Shop) the pretty totes I made, but not today...too tired!
So - you might be wondering - where is this Mysterious Daughter, that she wasn't there helping me raise money to send her to Sweden?
On a Jamboree Training Camp! Of course! Where else would she be???
