Morning all

Now those are unbelieveable prizes Chris!!!! I guess I had better start saving up.

CLP - fantastic prizes - you and the team do so much for CiN and I know we need the big prozes to make the big money.

So I'll do my bit and be happy that there are people in this world who are generous enough and able to donate the big moeny

Morning

Baggy - we are doing out bit for CiN (thanks to Hells Bells, CLP's Producer) on 20th when we venture into the scary smoke to take phone pledges.

Have you got your Pudsey ears yet?!?!?

To be honest, as lovely as the prizes are, I would be absolutely petrified to be let loose at the wheel of one those babies! For now, I'll stick to the Micra!

Whoop Whoop - tis Chewsday!

Deevs
x x x

Oh wow Chris, that is amazing.

Can't wait to see how much money is raised in your name for this Children in Need

Like all here (I expect) I would love to be able to bid for any of these but am really looking forward to coming and answering phones on CiN day. It's so cool that whatever we can do, big or little, will make a difference.

Might there be a possiblity we will bump into you on CiN day?

Seza xXx

PS Love the Feeling. Saw them at the Radio 2 Live gig you hosted at the Indigo and they blew the room away. FAB

Seza and Deev - i haven't forgotton about our answering phones - I just didn't want to keep on about it - but I'm really cited ;-)

Haven't got my ears and t-shirt yet - need a trip to the bottom smaking place at the weekend to pick them up

Ooooh do they do t-shirts?? Fab!!

xxxx

Chris,

Truly fantastic prizes and I hope you raise alot of money for CiN. When are we going to see you hosting the CiN on the evening then - Terry seems to be retiring from most things and you seem to be taking some of them over...?

Nic

Morning Chris,

If only I were a rich woman or married to a rich man! The prizes sound fab and you do a great job for CiN, your generosity in letting complete strangers drive your precious motors is quite overwheming - well done.

I am feeling as rough as a badgers wot-sit this morning. Really light headed and woosey, hope it's nothing serious! Oh well lots to do, people to see!

AliB

Morning CLP and fellow Bloggers,

Having managed to clear off the credit cards, the temptation to load one up for such an amazing experience is great.....However, until the economy is a little more certain, I will have to wait for another year.

Fingers crossed that you keep this huge event going then!

I will be keeping an eye out for one of the tables though.

Totally agree with everyone else though - how generous and selfless to give your incredible collection of the worlds finest cars to Joe public for two days.
And as for the Top Gear add on.......Gutted!!!

Just a thought - How much to rent me your Phantom for a weekend?
All in the name of CIN naturally....Haha

Good on you Sir (and I wonder how long that will be?)

Rips

x

How about a team of car washing bloggers on standby??

MTF.xx

MTF - what a great idea - I would be 100% for washing the cars at a pitstop!

Driving round the topgear track with the stig is on my list of must do things before I die but knowing what the prizes go for I don't think we can manage it unless the ticket in my pocket is a winning one - lets check!

Right thats the first 2 buckets taken then.

MTF.xx

Chris

- what a prize - if I win the lottery between now and then, I might be in with a chance of bidding . .

Fair play to you - hope you make a fortune for the kiddies . . .

Looking forward to hearing it all on the radio . . .

DtM x

Christoph, I've said it before and I'll say it again what a top bloke you are, and for a truly wonderful cause. Living so close to your pub I wouldn't have far to travel, but sadly the bidding would be WAY out of my league, but that won't stop me doing my bit for CiN. ELH!

AliB, hope you perk up soon x and indeed anyone else under the weather. Talking of which, a bit of a mixed bag here but sunny at the mo.

Morning everyone else.

Pen xx

Now am in about the MADDEST jealous RAGE I've ever bin' in.

'Ave just considered goin' back on the game to raise funds, but it's chilly an' a bit gusty out there on the streets a Dublin in the short skirt an' fishnets, and these days I'd 'ave a problem with refunds.

Look. It's a thought.

Huh. Ask me am I bothered.

Clodagh.xx

Pen, a bit of your sunshine please, torrential here in Somerset.

Looks like no sign of a let up either.

MTF.xx

Reason for rage Clodagh??

MTF.xx

Ey Baggy. There's an idea, Hurrah. Am handy on the business end of a shammy if Rips'll 'old me bucket. Count me in.

But seriously. Top Bloke Christoff. The only chap able for fillin' our Tel's Hush Puppies, for sure.

Big smacker.

Clodagh.xx

Pure unadulterated spiteful jealousy, MTF. Am never goin' to Heaven.

C.xx

Awww Ali - big huggles you hon. Nice big steamy mug of hot choc for you I think!

Hope you feel bettererer soon.

Deevs

Morning all

Bit of a late start here as it took me forever to get to work this morning!

Had sunshine earlier, but now the skies are as dark as a dark thing, and it's tipping it down. The rain also woke me up in the night (thanks MTF for your concern at 2am)!

I really wish I could bid for these prizes, but it's out of my price range unfortunately, will also be doing my bit though.

Have just been reminded that I've got some important stuff that has to be done by tomorrow...oh joy!

JG x

Clodagh - I'm only to happy to grab whatever you like! Especially for charity........

Ali - Go home and rest....Hong Kong needs you x

Rips

x

Aww Rips, that's a really nice thing to say. Wish someone or something wanted me!

x

Ok, thats 3 buckets down then.

Only 5 left, better get in there quick.

MTF.xx

count me in, as long as I can have a mug of steamy hot choc too!
My tootsies are chilly...:o(

Tiggs xxx

Gwon then! I'll be a scrubber for a day! Throw us a chamois ...

x

Stick a pair of Bids fluffy pink ones in your wellies.

MTF.xx

3 buckets left.....

MTF.xx

I'll take a bucket too, as long as the water's warm!

JG x

Deevs, but what a select bunch of scrubbers we will be!!

MTF.xx

Rips - I love you, thanks and if I'd known you were in Maidstone we could have had a cuppa in Fremlin Walk, only 10 mins from me! Next time eh.

Thanks for the hugs and love everyone, I just hope it passes before I sit on a plane for 13 hours!

I'll have a bucket, I've got the wellies already xx

AliB
xx

Deev - have you tried the local police station ;^p

Rips

x

Better put Bids down for one, she can bring her fluffy marigolds.

Whats that then, 1 bucket left ?

MTF.xx

Ok, all buckets accounted for, can someone draw up a quick list.

MTF.xx

Can I be Chief Scrubber please. I can send me CV by return, am well qualified.

Clodagh.xx

And Rips.

Talk like that can turn a girl's 'ead you know.

Bless you, you nutter.

Clodagh.xx

Bucket 1 ..Me.

2...Baggy.

3...Clodagh, with some assistance from Rips!

4...Tiggy, with her fluffy ones.

5...Deevs.

6...JG.

7...AliB

8...Bids.

MTF.xxx

Oh by the way Rips my little puff-adder. Thanks for the info re. Mr. McSorley; I'd say it's the very chap. But you are too kind, the said chap could wipe the floor with me, he is very, very funny and with a similar lightning wit to Danny Baker. Love 'em both to bits and will endeavour to do the Plodcast whatsiname.

Clodagh.xx

Good morning everyone,

CLP you really are the best!! I so wish I could bid for one of the tables but never mind. I shall do my bit locally, as Penny said "ELH".

Have a good day everyone.

X Gail.

Cheers MTF. Am buffin' up as we speak.

Ah bugger it, lost a nail now.

Clodagh.xx

Morning All. Was about to say lovely sunshine but in the last two minutes it's gone as dark as night and it's chucking it down !!

Christoph what a gem you are. With your precious cars too - I wish - like all else - and I'm mad jealous too - speshly the Top Gear bit.

Pleased I'm too late to grab a bucket - would play havoc with my nails - but I'll supervise if that's OK MTF - just in case someone misses a bit !!!

Big hugs Ali - get better pronto and do what Rips said - go home - can't be a poorly person on a plane.

Beezer xx

Beez

How very dare you! We be the foinest collection of scrubbers this soide of Scrubbersville, and highly unlikely to miss owt!!

Deevs
x x x

Coo, I nip over to lovely, sunny Witham for half an hour & the blog goes mad!

Can i be first reserve scrubber incase you lot get all scrubbered out?

Mind you, i reckon we've got more chance of being let lose on the reasonably priced car and, possibly, The Stig than getting anywhere near Chris' 4 Wheeled babies!!

Seza xXx

A fine list of scrubbers you ever did see! HeHe!

Pen xx

good point there Seza, but we can dream can't we????!

and thanks for that Pen, was told at 18 while cleaning top of chiller cabinet at first job (by PC 999 Neil, 100% true) that I looked like it was my destiny, so little shy ole me piped up 'destined to be a scrubber, thanks a lot'

Good news people - there's five more Lottery draws before Chris's Auction. And there's the EuroMillions thing too...

Fantastic prizes for a really good cause - although I'd happily pass on the Ferraris for a lap in the Lacetti (no offence Chris!).

Seza

I grewed up in Witham I dud! Splains alot about me grasp of grammer and spellin and stuff.

;-)

Deevs
x x x

Tiggs, we shall always dream and who knows what will happen when Chris sees the list of scubbers at his disposal! lol

Laters Peeps

Deevs

Post #66 was based on my having gonw to school in Witham, and of course on our very own very lovely Bingo and Errol!

I'm off ......

x

Rips, your name is on the list of scrubbers.

MTF.xx

Damn. I am too late again. Missed out on the scrubbers list!

Story of my life 8-(

Thunder, don't lose heart. The way I see it, our very talented scrubbers are going to need people to re-fill the buckets. We could volunteer for that...

AF xx

ps hello!!

Alright Flower?

See what I did there!

AliB
xx

Thanks for the hugs, they worked I am feeling a bit brighter now and not quite so woosey!

Afternoon All,

Chris what absolutely fantastic prizes, your generosity is beyond words!

Oh my God I would love the Top Gear day with the Stig but sadly my purse strings won't quite stretch to bidding for it, unless I having a winning lottery ticket between now and the 19th November!

I don't mind being a reserve scrubber!

AliB - hope you are feeling much better before your flight xx

Mary xx

Sorry Ali. Forgot to send big hugs. Hope you feel better soon.

Seza , do you want to draw up a list of reserves in order of requests, yourself being at the top,as you were first in.

Best to have a back up team.

MTF.xx

Plodding off to work now, no bounce in step, still got post hollibob blues!!!

Soon be the weekend.

Ali

Glad you're feeling a bit brighter, look after yourself, you don't want to be poorly for your holibobs!

JG x

Can I go home yet ..... please ..... I have been a good girl .....

Afternoon All,

What an amazing list of prizes Chris.......would love a go in the reasonably priced car, but alas the purse strings never stretch that far!!

We'll be doing our bit tho, somehow!

The boy had a fabby birthday, and was generally spoiled by my folks.....just had a screaming fit when they left......but now he's destroying the the living with his new transporter with digger / tractor he's ok!!!

I'm waiting to hear if the car is fixed......all £500 squids worth.....OUCH!! I really need a job now....

Hope everybody is in fine fettle - and hugs for those who are feeling under the weather (mind you you wouldn't be on this icky day!)

Oh and of course...glad you feeling better Ali..prob all the excitement of your big trip! Have a fab time if i dont get back on before..

mSc x

Scrubbers, spanking...have I strayed on to a different blog....
Weather in Warwick today is sunny.
Quiz night again tonight. I suspect another change of format is afoot, to stop us winning again!
Off to London tomorrow on a day's training I booked myself on months ago, so an early start to catch the train. Not looking forward to London or the tube as I find it very depressing. Still, I get chance to read Chris' book on the way train so every cloud etc etc.

Nic

Hi all on this wet, windy, sunshiny, no scrub that, back to wet again, day! Count me in for bucket filling duties too. Failing that I am more than willing to head up the meet and greet team at Chewton Glen on the big day.
Getting jealous of all the peeps heading north/south/west to Liverpool this weekend, hope you all have a fab(four) time. See what I did there?

Ta ta for now Lin x

Meet and greet.......I could handle that

Nic

I have the pleasure of about 4 or so hours on the train on Friday to go up to Liverpool for this impending Blog Meet.

iPod - check
CLP book - check
DS Lite (and games) - check
Mobile phone - check

Sorted!

And as for the underground .... not on my own, sunshine. Black cab all the way from Liverpool Street Stn to Euston!

Good luck tonight. Give my regards to Big Al!

Deevs
x

Deevs..have you got the Professor Layton puzzles for the DS..they`re fab..can lose 3 hours with no problem!

mSc x

I got a DS for my birthday, but have been too scared to get it out the box, cos I don't know what I'm doing with it!! Have the brain training game and a Pokemon one too.

Stupid really, cos I can deal with setting up computer networks...

JG x

Ooooh no - I'll ask Santa Claus for it. I've already started my letter to him .....

I've got the brain training ones, but feel a bit of plank going Blue Red Yellow Black on a packed train, Scrabble, of course, a word games one with wordsearches, hangman, crosswords etc on, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire .....

Girlie Games!

x x x

Scrabble is fab...but the mystery ones are my faves...the millionheirs one and the Prof Layton ones are really good..well i think so anyway!

And JG..be warned..have a few hours spare cos its addictive once you start!

mSc x

Right..gonna love you and leave you... got a home visit to do..oh joy!

Be good..see you all tomorrow..

mSc x

Afternoon Chris.Wow what fabulous prizes,think i might be bidding.
you lovely man. love to all.

Hiya gang

Ok, Grade 2 Scrubbers it is. So that's (without reading back so sorry if I miss anyone), me, ThunderclapN, Girlracer, AliB? Anyone else want to play.

Not sure though if Grade 2 Scrubbers have to scrub the scrubbers?!?!?

DS Games!! I've got Sherlock Holmes and Broken Swords-Shadow of the Templers (so TeenBoy! tells me) Really good, puzzle solving games and the Broken Sword one was only about £15 cos it's been out a while!

Laters

Seza xXx

PS guess who's ears & bandana I'm wearing?

Seza - I hope not mine, unless you've burgled my house whilst I've been a slave to this ere keyboard all day ....

x

Is there space on the scrubbers list?

How is everyone? Bit of a slow day here, date tomorrow night to look forward to, woohoo!

Jx

Wooo Hooo!!

Go you, Tiger!!

x

Hi Rusty

you can come on our 2nd class scrubbers list if you want.

Them speedy lot got there first

seza xxx

Can I be a Grade 2 scrubber, that job title fits me to a tee. And I would bring my guitar so we can sing as we scrub:

Scrub scrub scrub scrub, scrub scrub scrub scrub, scrub scrubadubdub

(To the tune of The Spam song).

I'd love "Lot 1" of the Drivetime Auction but I'd have to sell my house, and I am legally obliged to provide my teenagers with a roof over their heads until they are 18 (after which we plan to move to a rose-covered cottage in the country).

Cars not for me though, I spend enough at the bodyshoppe as it is.

A x

2nd Class Scrubber sounds even better!

A x

Afternoon peeps
If there is still a space I too would like to audition for grade II scrubber, or chamois 'wringer-outer' or buffer and fluffer, or just someone to make all the scrubbers cups of warming tea/coffee/hot choccie.

Crumpy xx

evening all, hope you're well?

well broadband has been returned to chez gingembre after a 2 week wait following our house move.
Hmmm, the house move nearly didn't happen either, keys only arrived at 5pm but heyho we're in now and lovin' it.
Love the CiN prizes, tad out of my price range methinks though.
Busy week at work, you may have seen why on the news.
