The Red Shoes Appeal

So Abi and I had this idea.
It's Ruthie' s birthday in March and she has a concert the day before... What could we get her for a super special gift?
Then it came to us. Ruthie is a patron of The Red Shoes Appeal, and we'd been talking to her about doing some fundraising during Marguerite but due to it's early demise had to put it on hold.
Well what if we do it now?
We hatched a plan to get west end performers to decorate or sign pairs of red shoes and we'd then auction them off.
The main issue was who to approach?
SO to facebook we turned, and our various Westend contacts!
So far the repsonse has been amazing, So many people want to help and they are so enthusiastic.
So, if anyone's reading this- or interested! Join our facebookk group for more information!

Another Year.....

Usually at this time of year I get all sentimental and reflective.

This year I'm going to bullet just my best and worst.

2008 BEST

• Moving to London
• Marguerite
  
• Summer nights in the park
• Ruthie's "fucking good aim"
  
• Taking Lotte to meet Ruthie Henshall
• Summer holidays and lots of time with Lotte
• Autumn colours at Wandsworth Common
• The Carousel tour
• Our day out in Wimbledon
• Carousel opening night
• Sunset Boulevard
• Stage door moments
• Hayley and Abi banter
  
• New Year with old friends and lots of rose

2008 WORST

• Working in the restaurant
• Getting sacked
• Lack of money
• Bills
• Hostel living
• Mum's wedding
• Illness
• Jukebox freakin musicals
  

So it's all generally quite good, I like where I am, I like what I'm doing and I am so grateful for the kindness everyone has shown me in London.
Let's make this the best year ever :)
