Almost time to leave

I cannot believe that 10 whole months have passed since the conception of this idea. We are now all ready and waiting to set off and get going.
So far we have raised around £23,000 we will carry on collecting until the week before christmas hopefully we will get £30,000 for our wonderful charity.
Eurotunnel have kindly donated tickets for Cpl Andy Reid and James Ryan both injured in Afghanistan and coming to France to lay wreaths.
We will have photos and film streamed onto the internet every night from Mailly Maillet and on Saturday night we will hold the first Big Curry on the Somme.Entertainment by Miss cookie Mon Star. I would like to thank everyone who has supported us at wenches in trenches
Thank You

Ready for the Off

I havnt been a good blogger I am so busy but we are now only 1 week away from our great adventure. We have had a drop out rate of about 20 per cent so thats not too bad. Everything is in place I have had a dozen nervous breakdowns I have wanted to run away so many times but having committed myself to this great big project I must finish it. We seem to have raised about £20,000 with much more to come in once we complete the walk. It will be cold and probably wet once we are over there but my ladies are a stoic lot and a bit of weather wont stop them.Once this walk is done I will put a lot of fab pictures on here plus we will have talking heads for you to watch and listen to.

Pirates of the currybean and more

Monday night we had our curry night and made £400 not a fortune but money to go into our coffers for wenches. Yesterday was a nice day we recieved 100 dog tags free of charge from Top Range outdoor clothing and a big long phone call from the Daily express with an invite to write 10 paragraphs about the walk. So its all done and we shall see what comes of it. I am now moving house and wont be blogging for about a week.

Two in one day

Golly gosh 2 posts in one day what am I thinking of? well we have our Big Curry so wanting to be a good citizen I ordered a big load of meat from a local family butchers, why give corporations our hard earned cash? 2pm it hadnt arrived, 3pm they said he has it on the van and it just coming out with it. 4pm all phones turned off including drivers mobile.
ergo- saturday night spent searching the internet and making appeal on local radio for a butcher willing to open tomorrow sunday to sell me enough beef to do the curry. As for the original butcher well after 15years he has lost my custom forever. They wonder why small shopkeepers are closing at a rate of knots Grrrrr

Bad blogger

Bad Blogger is to be my new name haha I just have no time so very sorry slap my legs. Right what have I to tell you? well at last our admin document is finished and ready to go out, I might go to Fallinbostel Germany to the camp with Miss Cookie Monstar who is performing for the troops it will be so much fun.Wonderful P&O Ferries have donated over £2,000 worth of travel to us well done P&O and thank you. Top of the Range clothing and survival gear from Tadcaster have supplied us with 100 dog tags which I will get stamped with wenches 2011 all our ladies will get them on the conclusion of the walk.

Now to raise a lot of money as time is getting short.

Im Back

Sorry I have had no time to blog for almost a month, and what a month it has been. I have had days when i never wanted to hear the words wenches in trenches again I hated the french with a vengeance for at least 2 weeks out of the last 4 what a race of well! I dont know what they are but they are NOT normal thats for sure.No wonder we had to go and kick the invaders out for them TWICE.
Maybe we should not have bothered.
Anyway thats all yesterdays news todays news is admin order almost ready it will go out in the next few days. P&O are looking hopeful. We still need one more mini bus bus its just around the corner I can smell it.

On a lighter note I have just made some wonderful chilled soup to eat on this hot day.

Friday

I would love everyday to be like this day has been. The weather is hot and breezy I went to Hayle to meet Bernadette and Richard along with their beautiful dog Benjie. We went up to Gwithian to surf action and for them to meet some of the guys there. After a light lunch I headed home. I have loved today it was so stress free and I was with people I really really liked. Thanks for coming guys
