Shelterbox bake

My laptop is having a service. They said it would take 15minutes on the phone when we booked. We thought that was a little bit unlikely, but were really surprised when we actually took it to the store and they said it could be two days. I feel lost without it! So now I'm borrowing my husbands for 10 minutes. Sorry, that means there won't be any photos today.


The bake sale at school raised £122, Sean's cakes raised £8 alone. He is delighted and we are proud of him. The non teaching staff really want to pay the whole amount for a Shelterbox so we reckon we need to do at least three more cake sales to raise the £590 needed to pay for one box. It's one challenge that really matters to us so we'll be baking again next week.


Hopefully I'll have my laptop back on Saturday so until then.

Shelterbox

Yesterday Sean wanted to help me bake some muffins for a cake sale at his school to raise money for Shelterbox. He chose to make double chocolate chip muffins and was a tremendous little cook--- of course the best bit of cooking is licking the bowl clean!

 After "testing" a few to make sure they tasted OK (we all had one!) Sean took 42 muffins to sell. All were sold making a real contribution to the money raised today. (I don't have a total for what was raised today but will let you know later.)

The muffins- delicious!

Shelterbox (http://www.shelterbox.org) are a Cornish based international disaster relief charity who are currently working to deliver emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies in their immediately recognisable green box to those in immediate dire need in Japan. They are a charity who really make a difference to those they help.




Until next time
