Pudsey Day!!!

*****UPDATE FROM DANIEL'S VISIT TO LONDON*********

Dan has returned safely from London after his busy day ~ during which he sang with the rest of his year group and children from 4 other schools at the Royal Opera House in celebration of Prince Charles 60th Birthday~ they sang All Through the Night together with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra followed by a rendition of Happy Birthday!!!!

Dan tells me that he also sang the National Anthem and remembered ALL the words!!

Dan has had an excellent experience and after the concert Dan and 2 of his friends were chosen to stand up and speak to the Prince (Yes ~ he has now rubbed shoulders with royalty ha ha !!) ~ according to Daniel the Prince was very nice and spoke about how far they had come and talked to the whole group about music and the concert. He has certainly had a day to remember and is one that he will never forget!!

*****NEWS UPDATE****************************************************

Daniel and his school friends have just been on the BBC and the Sky News singing happy Birthday to the Prince ~ if you watch the BBC news at 10pm or Sky News on the hour ~ you may just see him!! ( I found THIS link showing the children singing on BBC News ~ but you can't see Dan anywhere though ha ha !!)

This evening ~ now that Daniel is safely back with us (after hob nobbing with royalty !!!) we are all ready for a Pudsey night!! Tonight is Children in Need Night and Pudsey bear is the charities mascot ~ we are ready and waiting for the 7 hour TV extravaganza ~ which starts at 7pm ~ and ends at 2am tomorrow morning ~ I have told the children that they can stay up until 10pm as a treat!! You can find out about Children In Need ~ HERE

Last year the donations from the night totalled 19 million pounds and the total donations for the events came to 37 million pounds ~ which goes towards helping change the lives of disadvantaged children and young people in the UK ~ a very worthwhile charity, I am sure you will agree!

We have done our part so far ~ we all have our Pudsey bear tops on tonight, the children both have Pudsey bear teddies and pens and during the show the children will each be ringing up to donate some pocket money (£10 each and I will also donate £10).


Here we are ~ our little family all dressed and ready for a night of Pudsey fun and entertainment!!


My little stars ~ they are so sweet (Lauren is using her Pudsey bandana as a headscarf ha ha !!)

The week is over and I am intending to spend some quality time with my 2 little people ~ starting tonight! I am just off to pop some Popcorn for them ~ sweet for Daniel and salty for Lauren ~ they have such different tastes!!

Hope you have a great evening too and a relaxing and happy weekend XXXXX
