Great cause; great party

Well, my birthday celebrations are all over, and it's time to wonder where the next party is...

And I'll tell you! It's for a GREAT cause, and it will be a GREAT night. This is what it is:

The Three Peaks Party
Party the night away in Infernos and raise money for the NfA at the same time...

Start Time: Friday, July 20, 2007 at 8:30pm
End Time: Saturday, July 21, 2007 at 2:00am
Location: The Flame Bar, Infernos
Street: 146 Clapham High Street

A night in Infernos that helps raise money for charity - what more could you want?! We've booked out the Flame Bar area of Infernos to celebrate our return from the peaks so please come and help us dance the night away...
Robyn needs to provide Infernos with a guest list (we only get money for people who are on the list and get ticked off on arrival) so please let her know the names of everyone you're bringing asap.(p.s. It is over twenty-ones and they have said they will enforce that)

This is the cause:

Robyn, Jenn, Charlotte, Charlotte, Emily, Jules, Jo, Ali, Becky, Sophie, Jenn, Nick, Nick, Mike, Dan, John, Eric and Alex are doing the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for the Neurofibromatosis Association. Please sponsor us for huffing and puffing our way round a twenty six mile route that involves climbing three massive hills! xxxx

Come, come! It'll be fun, fun! But TELL ME ASAP so I can tell Robyn who's coming (particularly as Inferno's need to know numbers and names). Or tell Robyn, of course, if you are in contact with her.

25, employed, housed and healthy

Happy birthday to me! This birthday is a little different from last year's (scroll down), not just because I'm turning 25 instead of 24.

The job's still great - and they got me cake! Not as many balloons as last year, admittedly, but I have various celebrations planned this year. It's wonderful to be celebrating my birthday like a normal person (not that I didn't appreciate enormously last year's effort).

Mariacristina even took me out to lunch at the 28th-floor restaurant at the Park Lane Hilton, which was fantastic. Gorgeous food, wonderful location, beautiful company...

Other brilliant recent news is that my bone marrow biopsy (which was the first I'd had for ages) showed no sign of residual disease, so I officially don't have any trace of leukaemia in me at the moment. It's quite possibly that's been the case for a while, and even if I did, it wouldn't be terrible, but it's still of course lovely to know the bone marrow's clear.

Roll on the next 25 years!
