Hi,

Thanks also for your generous donation....

Errr....what mice? - the local cats seem to be doing a great job keeping them away....

Mind you, if you've got a good way of getting rid of moles, I'd appreciate it...our back garden looks like the Somme (except without the gory bits).

S'pose I could just stick the cheese down the hole and hope the smell keeps 'em away....

regards and thanks for your entries.

OK, sorted...

Thanks and regards,

I go away for a few days and find we're over £50! Thank you all!

My normal stockist doesn't sell the cheese any more

Found a new stockist though!

So....

As a special incentive, if we can reach £200 the prize fund will increase to 3 - yes 3 - cheeses (and Hobnobs?)



Well whoopy doo!

Hi all,

I just had a thought....the 2007 "vintage" of Beaujolais Nouveau will be released at midnight on 15th November 2007....and CIN night is the following night....

So, what better than to consider having a Cheese and Wine Party in your house (or our chat room) on the evening of the 16th....?

So, you can spend some time and money making a donation to CIN and guessing on the Sweepstake, whilst indulging in some of this years plonk....assuming Tesco / Sainsbury / Waitrose / Morrisons et al pull their finger out and have it available....

Of course, the "Beauj" has some way to come....from somewhere near Macon in France...so it's unlikely it'll be available everywhere in UK

So, the alternative is a nice bottle of Chateau Neuf de Pape or something similar...!

All in favour, say "Aye"...!

regards

Tim

PS Please supply your own cheese and wine !!

"Aye"...! Il do owt for a  laugh !

Aye! But can it be a 'Beer and Crisps' party instead?  :lol:  :lol:

melter65 wrote:Aye! But can it be a 'Beer and Crisps' party instead?  :lol:  :lol:

It can be anything you like...!!

Even Cider and Twiglets

Or Guinness and Pork Scratchings....

You name it ..... ???

James.

Just a little note.

It looks like we're on for another record monthly credit. We hit 6 million today which is TWO days ahead of when we hit 6 million last month! As there is an extra day this month compared to last month we should get around 7.8 Million!

If we carry on at this rate the 8 million month isn't far away, which means that members who have donated to the CIN page may need to update their guesses. Those that haven't are playing a cagey game and waiting in order to win the cheese! (Aren't you?)

Yes, all right, it's a shameless plug to 'bump' this thread.

UBT - Mikee wrote:......Yes, all right, it's a shameless plug to 'bump' this thread.

And this is ANOTHER plug.

We're at £62....and it would at least be nice to hit the £100 mark.

There's just 9 DAYS to go to Children In Need night....so dig deep people and let's make this contribution a little more worthwhile......PLEASE ??

Hi all,

Another BUMP...!

Just over 3 days to go (until midnight on CIN night) to register your guesses to the "End of Year" sweepstake...!

C'mon people....wouldn't you just love to be cuddled up with a nice big cheese (and more perhaps?) sometime in early January 2008, coz you guessed the number nearest to the total team credit as at year end 2007.

Get those brains working, make some guesses and please make a donation to CIN....!

regards

Tim

He aint askin for Billions

But then again more chance of me winning so hold on to your hard earned £2  and treat yourself to a bag of chips an a battered sausage

I can almost taste that cheeeeeeeeeezeeeeee
You can even pay by paypal ya ebay junkies

Hi all,

OK, so I'm going to try and SAVE you all loads money now.

I'm NOT asking you to bid for Led Zeppelin tickets - so I've already saved you  £83,000 !!!

And I'm NOT asking you to bid for a fun day at the next British Grand Prix - so that's another £100,00 you've saved...

And as for the Aled Jones/Katie Melua "double act"  :shock: ...well, in your dreams people, so that's saved you another £250,000....

That means you've now saved over £433,000.....

So, time for you to dive into your wallet or purse and dig out a few coins of the realm, to the value of 50p per guess....

You've got until the witching hour tomorrow night.......

regards

Tim

Well, you could always just wear the sweatshirt and cap... and then use the cable for some other purpose....might be useful for towing your car...? Or use it to lash down your tent in a storm....? Or maybe tieing up some Chrissy pressies ????
