Be My Valentine Ball

Posted by Laura on Sunday, 15 January 2012, at 11:22

Friday 10th February Statham Lodge

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
That’s what they say,
But it’s not really true.

Roses are red,
And apples are too,
But violets are violet,
Violets aren’t blue.

An orange is orange,
But Greenland’s not green,
A pinky’s not pink,
So what does it mean?

We call something blue,
When it’s not, we lie a bit,
But hey, what the heck,
It’s hard to rhyme with ‘Violet’!

A message of LOVE
Can be hard to understand,
Leaving you head in the clouds,
And your feet not on land.

But confusion aside,
It’s all fun and games,
Love brings its Challenges,
Goals and aims...

A Mountain climb,
For a Charity cause,
To reach a snowy peak,
The help I need is yours!

To raise the funds,
So I can tackle this beast,
We’re organising a Ball,
With live music and a feast!

The venues booked,
The date is set,
Friday 10th Feb,
Statham Lodge’s biggest LOVE event yet!

Dudes think dapper,
Girlies think glam,
Bring all you friends,
Your dad, your sis, your mam!

A Killer Kili evening,
To keep Cupid on his toes,
Where the night may take us,
Only him & his bow knows ;)

So please help to raise funds,
At my Valentines Do,
£25 a ticket,
Not much for a smooch or two ;)

Kilimanjaro for Kids

My Charity Challenge

Laura Chambers

I believe in fate, superstitions and that laughter is the best medicine. I also believe in angels, good men and other fantasy creatures. The only one I’m going to reflect on here though is fate. I’ve always thought that everything happens for a reason, and whatever does happen is your destiny!

So I’d been having one of them days where you feel a bit lost and don’t know what to do with your life, when a friend texted me.... She was telling me about some Charity Climb she’d signed up for. Reading this at God know what time in the morning after the way I’d been feeling all day I thought what the hell, I’m gonna do it too! Be it fate, fortune or karma, or maybe just my tired and vulnerable state at that time in the morning, I’d signed myself up for what is probably going to my biggest challenge yet!

Killer Kili Facts, uhoh...

At a massive 19,340 feet Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the World! This mammoth mountain is made up of three volcanoes and supports 5 major eco-zones, these being rainforest, heath, moorland, alpine desert and glaciers. So the Rooftop of Africa’s sizzling savannah is a snow-capped peak?! This bad boy is BIIIIIIIG!!!

Childreach International

The Charity who I’ll be doing the climb for is Childreach International. They are a UK registered grass roots charity that has worked with over 70,000 children in the past year alone. They work in genuine partnership with local communities in the developing world to help improve children’s access to healthcare, education, child rights and protection. They operate on their own projects and support partner's projects in Tanzania, India, Nepal, Occupied Palestinian Territories, Pakistan, Peru, Cambodia, China and Bangladesh.

Pounds to the Peak

So the first step to the Kili for Kids Challenge is raising the dollar for the trip! A minimum £3000 needs to be raised, over half of which will go directly to Childreach International projects around the World! Below is a link to my BT My Donate page which is one way in which we can help to raise the funds. Any donation, no matter how big or small, is MASSIVELY appreciated! It’s only through your help that we can make this all possible. Thanks so much everyone!!

An Appetising Menu

Posted by Laura on Sunday, 7 August 2011, at 21:01

Following on from our Valentines Competition

A la Carte

So Colin’s busy,
reciting the Kings Speech,
Dicaprio’s engaged,
probably on some beach.
Beckham’s got training
and ball skills to learn,
Clooney’s in some casino,
with dollar to earn.
Brad’s in Mexico,
searching for some Gun,
Orlando’s chasing pirates,
who knows when he’ll be done?!
Enrique’s got a concert,
then music to record,
Russell’s fighting Gladiators,
then sharpening his sword.
Will’s got something happy,
that he needs to pursue,
Gerard can’t either,
but pretty sure he still loves you.
Daniel’s got a mission
which he’s chose to accept,
Leaving Cruise who’s mixing cocktails,
then flying his jet.

All these hotties,
and none of them free?!
This just won’t do,
not for our gorgeous Beverley!
So the search is out,
who will be Bev’s date?
A candle lit dinner,
isn’t quite the same with a mate...
Tall, dark & handsome,
own teeth and hair too,
You don’t even need your wallet,
she’s got vouchers for two!
So if you’re up for some Tapas,
and are fit for our girl,
Please enquire within,
we might give you a whirl!

Picture below shows Laura and Bev
