Thank you Wellington - well Cuba Mall.....

YAY- Annie finally got the magazines today - she couldn't get them at Hamilton Airport OR Wellington Airport but did manage to get them at Cuba Mall, so now wer're all pleased. Everyone is asking us which one of us has been affected by breast cancer for us to be doing this; but the answer is that we are ALL fortunate enough not to have been affected, nor any of our family members which makes us a bit of a rarity!!!! Natalie [on the left of the picture below] has had - and still has - brain tumours, Annie in the middle of the picture has just had her 11th surgery in the last 3 years, and Anne on the end, has 6 children to run around after, so as you can see, we really are doing this just for the sake of it - and we suppose because we realise that we are all sooooooooooooo fortunate NOT to have been affected, although we all know there are "NO EXCEPTIONS"......

Pink Magazine Shock....

Well, today is an irate post! We're in this edition of the PINK magazine, and we have 1 problem - buying the bloody thing. We've aways gone to BP in Putaruru to get ours, HOWEVER - they've decided NOT to stock it anymore, and NONE of the shops have it here either. So, off to Tokoroa I shot yesterday, and Paper Plus didn't have it either. Natalie was in Cambridge yesterday and none of the shops had it there. AAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!! I'll try in Hamilton today, I'm bound to get it there. So the moral of the story is - keep asking for the mag at your local outlet until they get it in as standard. Saying that, we're amazed by how many people haven't heard of the magazine, so if you are one of them, CLICK HERE to have a nosey and you can buy online too, which is the next stage for me. Anne White is fizzing, as Liz Seidel at the Old Shed in Tirau has found her the napkins that she wants at a fantastic price. Let me assure you that Anne has literally been scouring the world for these. Emailing suppliers and manufacturers in bizarre countries, and good ol Liz has saved the day and come up trumps.. Thank You Liz. And once again Maree Worth at Super Liquor Putaruru is an absolute trouper, but more on that later.....

Anne Whites Tee Shirts.....

I have seen the prototype of Anne Whites tee-shirt design and it is AMAZING - it's going to look fantastic. We have another few coups too. Roz Brown from Graham & Brown accountants in Putaruru is going to be our accountant for our functions and has offered her services for free including any photocopying AND a financial pledge too so a HUGE thanks to Roz for that - she is also the Treasurer of the Waikato Breast Cancer Trust. Roz jumped straight on board without thinking, and Anne reckoned it was the easiest phonecall she has ever made. We also have Michael Jameson to speak who is one of the Trustees and is an oncologist at Waikato hospital too, so a huge thank you to Michael for that too, because he too jumped straight on board. Next meeting on Tuesday so more updates to follow......

Well, as mentioned in our Movember Blog, we have a super, massive huge shout of THANK YOU going to Maree Worth of Putaruru Super Liquor. That woman is a true godess. She's helped us out sooooooo much last week, she's a true legend. Don't forget that if you're travelling through good old Putaruru and in need of a prezzie for someone - Maree makes bloody awesome gift baskets so stop by and grab one [ for a small fee of course - lol]....Thanks Maree. We've pushed next weeks meeting out until the week after to give us extra time post Easter to get jobs done. We're on track bar our late night licences which will be down to the council - and a few responses which we'll chase up after Easter. We've got all of our artists signed up as go aheads, 2 more to chase up, then we can start on the main body. For myself & Anne, we have to get as much as possible tied in before calving starts on our farms - but at the moment, we'd love some rain to just be bloody well milking at full steam - lol. The ticket designs are looking pretty cool, Nat's still not tickedy boo, but Anne's doing a fantastic job with the tee-shirts, now to tie up the tee-shirt supplies.

Tickets, tickets everywhere...

We're getting requests in for tickets thick and fast at the moment. We're designing them as we speak in time for the next meeting which will be next Wednesday - but with the Easter break in-between, I may just have to sell my kids to give me a little more time. Nat has pneumonia (as well as a brain tumour), but still rings up to see who the contact was for the lighting that we wanted. Stupid me gives her the name of the company before realising what she wanted it for - and yes, I did tell her to give it a bloody rest for one day. The term "falling on deaf ears" springs to mind.........The Pink magazine is out at the beginning of April - SO DON'T FORGET TO BUY YOUR COPY...........

What were we laughing at????

We had to have a photo taken this week - prior to a "real" one being taken tommorrow

- Nat on the left, Annie in the middle and Anne on the right - Annies son was taking the shot and asked us to laugh - so Anne told him to say something funny - now at 11 years old, what do you think that was???????

In The Pink........

Yay - it looks like we've caught the April edition of Pink magazine, and got ourselves a write-up. Don't know what PINK magazine is - then click HERE. Pink magazine is a biannual lifestyle publication dedicated to breast cancer, first published in 2005, it is a magazine informing and educating NZ women and men. So if you're local - call into McCabes or PaperZone and DEMAND that they stock it, and if you're not a local, demand it at your local papershop too. BP Putaruru have always stocked it so BIG THANKS to them. We can't wait....
