Red Nose Day - What have you done lately for charity? See pic we looked good

Do something funny for money! hey ellie great to see you and you look great in the photo! Since I am not up to much I have mainly just been supporting the kids etc with sponsorship but just a little while ago with the kids glued to the tv with their red noses on and yelling every time the total is updated I decided to empty my paypal account and send it in - not a lot but every little helps - so mylot (as well as my survey sites) have donated to Comic Relief! xxxx

All the children round here were dressed up in very odd clothes and coming out of there schools really elated .. Ive been watching on the T.V. this evening , looks like great fun ,hope they raise huge ammounts for all the good couses *** LONDON***

Right now the boy scouts of our community are having their food drive for the food shelves....so they leave a bag on your door knob and you fill it with goodies.....I have a bunch of very good stuff all lined up for my bag! Including spam...mac and cheese....canned fruit...and veggies!

I have managed to avoid it successfully Ellie. I cannot stand either "Red Nose Day" or "Children in Need" and all the smug "Look at Us" so called "celebrities". It is not the causes that I object to especially, although I do think that children get more than their fair share, but the fact that we are expected to join in and are made to feel like social lepers if we don't. I give money to the charities that I support and that's enough. However, if this is your thing then I am pleased to see that you entered into it wholeheartedly and I hope that you made a lot of money. I liked the picture by the way. I often wonder if you served me on the occasions that I went in the NAAFI.

That's a great photo, and you all look like you had lots of fun! I hope you've raised lots of money, it certainly sounds as if you have, well done! We haven't done anything for Red Nose Day this year - besides buying several R.N.D bits of merchandise at Sainsbury's, lol!. My daughter's obsessed with all the stuff they're selling. So far we've got a foam, squashy red nose with a toothy grimace and a red nose soft ball that you throw at something, and then it laughs hysterically. (It's the most annoying thing in the world, !) And she also has her eye on the R.N. deely-boppers (those wobbly alien things, stuck onto a headband), and the whoopie cushions, which are so hysterical to a three-year old. . So I can see us purchasing a few more red things when we go shopping tomorrow! When I was working we used to wear red noses and give a donation, but I don't think we ever dressed up. I kind of miss working for reasons like this. Not so much fun to wear a red nose at home, or round at my mum's house, lol! Just watching Fern and Alan Carr on Comic Relief now. Apparently an anonymous donor has just given them £6m, wow!

That's very neat, I like and love the idea, you all look great. Good work..

It doesn't ring a bell, Ellie. I am unsure we have it here, or at least not in the area where I live. It sounds like a lovely tradition though, and I hope you managed to raise a lot of money for the good causes you are supporting. I agree that the picture looks great; no way as good showing your support than some true team spirit!

we have a nez rouge, red nose association here in quebec but it is for drunk drivers who need a ride home on christmas and new years day. These is a great idea for you guys, hope it raises a lot.

This is a great day, I guess. And it seems quite fun as well. Do you have to dress all in red and do crazy stuffs to raise money? i just hope you raise a good amount and donate.

Lol... crazy isn't the word for some of the antics they get up to. I didn't do anything on the day, my friend, but various events seem to crop up during the year which I contribute to, and then, they're handed in on the actual day. I remember I've done a few things towards it, or contributed towards it, but it's usually at the pub and I can't think what we did after a few days! lol. Brightest Blessings and well done!!!

How cute! And, what a great idea. I should really do more. I have always thought about putting my Internet access to good use by bringing awareness to issues that are important to me. Maybe by blogging about them. A voice is a very powerful weapon of change in the right hands.

Hi there Ellie - i simply like the idea of costumes... this is one of the think i would like to see here in my country :) I love the photo, all of you look great there and if i may ask, what is the Red Nose day ? It is the first time i hear about it . I do hope we manage to meet when me and my girlfriend come to England this year (we know to month now - it is august for sure, and we will be close to Bath :P).

i saw the pics and looking great,by the way ist not red nose its a red dress hehehe.well today?i ahve done many things today inside the house as usual the wife job cleaning and cooking

We sponsor a child form Uganda and we have gotten to know her and hope to visit her one day, her name is Hajara, she's 8 and my 7 year old daughter calls her sister which is nice. I started a discussion not long ago about the sadness I feel for sick children and a very wise MyLotter suggested putting my tears to good use by helping those who need it and I am now considering volunteering at Radio Lollipop here in Perth Western Australia which is a radio station set up at the children's hospital; it brings joy to many very sick kids. My husband dyed his hair blue red and white for a charity drive for the Leukaemia Foundation. These events are fun and they are such good causes; definitely worth the effort I think! By the way you guys looked great!

Fun picture! Looks like you are having a nice time. Good for you all for participating. Today I have made some phone calls concerning an event my church is doing for a home for unwed mothers. I do a little each day to help out the organizer of this event. Huggles back to you, Ellie.

The picture is absolutely adorable! I recently gave some money to the United Way, which is a charitable foundation that raises money to give to all kinds of organizations in the U.S. I don't know if it's worldwide or not. They were collecting at the college where I am teaching, they call it a "campaign", so I donated a few bucks. From the looks of your picture, you were having lots of fun.

wow..ellie..you look great with that attire..its good to know that your country are doing a charity worldwide..im interested to participate with that kind of charity works..but i dont know where..but my son has a piggy bank from school and he told me to put some coins everyday for 1 month ..this is also a kind of charity works from unicef..

Hi Ellie My daughter paid a pound today to go to school in non-uniform. Also two of her friends done a sponsored silence and raised £27. Then another of her friends done a sponsored hop and raised another £5. They had lots of different event going on through out school today to raise money. My 17 year old son is off to a sixth form red nose day party tonight. It has been a while since I have done anything for charity but I did use to volunteer in a charity shop that raised money for the children's society.

Hi ellie, That is brilliant, I haven't done anything but have rung and donated £5, many years ago, my frined and I shave a lot of men's hair in our social club and raised £100 but have't anything this year. Love and hugs. Tamara xxxx

I've never heard of a red nose day in the U.K. What aownerdful idea. what have I done? I fed the homeless last Sunday and have visited shut in's twice. I gathered clothing and odds and soda to give to the local chapter of the Cancer Society - they have a sale o the last Friday of each month and do such a good job. I also donated food to two persons. Not much really. I must do better!
