Is any one getting involved in the wear it pink day on Friday 29th Oct. Its for Breat Cancer. I have organised a wear it pink day at work, everyone (male and female) have to wear something pink and donate £1.00 for doing so, those that dont will face a £2.00 fine. If you want to do something look on the web site - search under wear it pink. Should be a great laugh seeing as I work for the Council...... We are doing dares as to who wears the most pink, making and selling pink cakes, decorating offices in pink and just having a huge pink day. Should be great!!!! Jo |

I have been so lucky that my department have agreed to participate and the PINK funds will go to our CR fundraising.... boosting it hopefully by another £300... fingers crossed everyone!! |

So far this news is fantastic, I didnt realise so many people/companies would be joining in, well done every body - lets keep up the good work. Not only will we be raising money for a very good cause but seeing everyone in pink will be great (about 250 people in my place of work). |

I am being sponsored by my work colleagues to have my hair dyed pink for the day. The more money raised the brighter the pink will be!!!! |

Joanne that is fantastic.... I am really looking forward to it.... Mind you the word at work is that I must be the only one on the day not to wear pink as they see me in Pink quite a lot.... especially now I have the Pink waterproof jacket!! |

My hair has now under gone a massive change (much to the amusement of my work mates). Last week when I was last at work my hair was brown, today it is blonde (very blonde), had it bleached on Saturday ready for the pink to go on next Thursday night. My hair really will be pink... oh my god!!! |
