Special thanks to ...

Mum - for your amazing ideas, perseverance and support. And for dragging me downstairs to do paperwork when I'd much rather be listening to my music and eating cake in the dark confines of my bedroom.

Dad - for laughing every single time you saw me until my hair grew back.

Grandad & Ruth - for your brilliant efforts during the 50's record playing day ... even if you did drink us out of coffee!

David, Dan & Alison - for buying pretty much every single raffle ticket

Auntie Ho-ho & Ranald - just for being there. And for your coffee making skills

Les Amis d'Onno - for giving me enough work to take my mind off fundraising. And for allowing me to stretch my 'stand-up' wings

My various school 'minions' - for putting up with my insane delight after I'd got selected

Denise - for your courage in letting me wear one of your dresses to that dinner party with the KOSB!

Cat - for helping me choose a pair of high heels for the dinner party. Though they seem to have disappeared since (what a shame!)

Oglvie Dickson - for kindly inviting me (a complete stranger) to the dinner party, and introducing me to all the KOSB veterand. I had a wonderful evening!

'Shakespeare' - for kindly becoming the editor of my literature .... even if you do talk too much

Mortal - for taking a vast array of embarrasing photographs of me during the headshave

And also to everyone else who has donated, supported and offered their advice. I couldn't do it without you all :)
