    Hey everyone!

    Well it’s been a long busy day but Evie did amazingly!!
    After being brought into the hall she was sat on her own in front of 300 children whilst the head teacher rambled on and on.
    I was amazed at how brave she was, she’s a fairly quiet and timid girl but she sat there beaming away and looked so happy.
    No tears as the chop took place and within a few seconds we had over 20″ of hair ready to go to some other special little girl.
    It’s been a long day for her so we are going to do the draw tomorrow after school as she wants to make a little video to say thank you to you all.

    As you can imagine I’m a very very proud dad today and you lot should be to. We still need to get the remnants in and have a final count up but I’m confident we’ll be topping the £1500 figure which is astounding bearing in mind the original £500 figure I thought was reaching a bit!!

    So until tomorrow it’s a big thank you for your part in her little adventure and a big smile from the special girl herself!

    Wow!
    huge thank you to everyone especially those that have done so in the last 24 hours! This total keeps going up!!

    Ahead of the draw this evening can I just make sure I’ve got everyone ready for the draw. By reckoning it should be those listed below but shout if your not down as not everyone posted on here and I’ve done my best at trawling through the donations on the justgiving page!

    I’ll get an email off to you all shortly so I can grab your addresses.

    You should all be extremely proud of yourselves for getting on board and supporting her. I was in to minds whether to float it on here but once again you lot have proved just how positive this community really is.

    Not that the figures matter but I think you should all know that the STW collective accounted for over £400.00 of the donations received when you take the gift aid into account.
    That’s roughly 33% of all the donations received, from a bunch of strangers spread across the world that have never even met me let alone Evie!

    Its taught her an important life lesson about how if you strive to do something good and positive people will always get behind you, not matter who you are.

    Your all amazing, and I only wish I could thank you all in person!

    Whoop! I’ve not won anything since scooping an out of date jar of cranberry sauce from the lucky dip at the 1982 school fete.

    Chapeau to all involved and congratulations to Evie for making so many people happy.

    Just seen this, so added a late entry. I never win raffles, so let’s pretend I was in it and didn’t win.

    Well done Evie!

    I eat really well, like really well, every day, without fail. I resist everything right now. It’s a total bore.

    This morning, I devoured around 600 calories of pure sugar in one go, and I bloody loved it. Would never have done that without it being posted though my letterbox. Thanks 😀

    Still got another packet to go!
