(ps "Anonymous" does not mean no bids!! It means that this young man paid me EXTRA not to announce in public until he spoke to the girls personally!)

You have all been truly generous and good fun for being involved.

I will be contacting the highest bidders in order to offer them their choice of vouchers.

Then I will introduce all “new friends” to each other by e-mail.

It will then be up to you to swap numbers and contact each other and arrange your friendship meeting.

And a monster great BIG thank you to everyone who turned up last night at Left Bank to show us the money.

THANK YOU, thank you, thank you!

And Happy Friendship Meetings!

Lots of luv from
Nikki, Cally & Paul
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

P.S. I will also be arranging a night oot for all participants once we have all had our “friendship meetings”!
P.P.S. Watch out for my e-mail next week with details of the fun-fund-raiser we have organised for the end of September too! No 1-2-1 friendship meetings this time, but lots of capers for all that will further help our favourite mountain climbers get to the top of Kili to raise money to build the new centre in Nairobi.

OK, this is your LAST CHANCE to “meet a new friend”!

Tonight is the night to SHOW US THE MONEY!

NO more bids after 11pm.

Cally, Paul and I will be in Left Bank from 7-11pm to collect all bids.
