So then, prepare yourselves and your designer wallets to shortly be assailed by my good self, armed with the most desirable item a body can have… Myeloma UK Raffle Tickets. Just imagine how splendiferous these will look, magnetted to your fridge or worn with pride on your lapel.
For the bargain price of one small British pound, you can own a small piece of 2009 Myeloma UK History. And what a plethora of magic comes with it.
First Prize – a walking holiday in the Spanish hills. I think they are assuming your partner will already have died, so they are offering just the ONE ticket to the lucky winner. Fill your (walking) boots with the logic behind that puppy. The rest of the prizes are actually better..although this might suit Mikey (as Margo will be in a luxury spa somewhere).
Second prize – £250 of John Lewis vouchers. Ah, getting better, although best to check the small print in case these can only be redeemed for a JLP/Stannah stairlift, walking frame or urinary incontinence products. Some of these may actually be of use to our age group (5 pints of Magners on a summer's eve = quite useful to have some spare peeing pants?).
Third Prize – Apple iPod Touch. Again, the suspicious part of me wonders if this will come with extra big keys for the elderly….
Fourth Prize: £100 of Asos.com vouchers. I am assured by a friend who used to be a fashion buyer (yes you Sarah Hatch/Crowther – I'm naming you in case this turns out to be a dud) that this site is actually really good for 'matching the outfits you see worn by celebs in Grazia etc'. I read it as £100 worth of Asbos, to award to your least favourite local hoodie… which actually would be a GREAT prize!
Ten Runner Up prizes: £20 Oddbins vouchers. May be redeemed for sherry, eggnog or a year's supply of Werther's Originals… or possibly the booze of your choice.
Beware – I will shamelessly be tapping you up for several of your fine British pounds if you cross my path…. so you too can share on the mystical wonder and endless amazement that is Myeloma RAFFLE WEEK.

I love the way Hatch seems to know about outfits that celebrities wear, I didn’t know celebrities wore ‘Bodem’.
Hi Liss (little sis), put me down for 20 quid’s worth (and the John Lewis prize please – I’d happily pay a grand NOT to go on a walking holiday, what are buses for etc.). Now you can tell people that the first person you tapped coughed up a purple one and they’d better follow suit. Off to bed now, feeling knackered after a day pulling out mysterious plants and roots in our not-enormous-but-somehow-still-tiring garden while Lily crawled around with a thoughtful expression on her face to indicate I should watch her demonstrating how her Swim Nappy almost keeps everything in…took me a while to cotton on, but jolly good fertiliser anyway. BSxxx
Put me down for £5 but I am a little nervous about winning the 1st prize. Brilliant! the first raffle I have come across to have the first prize as possibly the worst prize… Impressed you met royalty! what were they doing in Dartmouth I ask!?
Let me know if you need a hand with Cat sitting
