I opened my computer, bleary eyed this morning, cup of coffee in hand, plate of cheerio's in the other (what can I say, I needed a sugar boost).  And I was just blown away.  Order after order loaded up in my inbox, and when I totalled up the number of tickets sold so far and the amount taken after paypal charges the total after 24 hours was:  (drum roll) ......

£345.00

Bearing in mind that this amount will be matched by the bank that Jill works for (and she has spoken to the bank to warn them!) that means that after only 24 hours we have £690 in the kitty which is approximately NZ$1490.00

This is a wonderful total, and more tickets have been bought this morning already.  I will update the total each morning until the end of the raffle which is Tuesday 1st March.

More prizes have been added to the prize pot, and I will keep adding them to this blog entry so that they all stay in one place.

Thank you to everyone who has donated prizes and bought tickets.
