We love Microsoft

The boys are off to Europe on Friday and things are hotting up for the trip – see their very funny blog on http://www.oneweekineurope.blogspot.com. It’s much better than mine, but then they got pratting round Europe as a subject and I got cancer. Anyway, thanks to your extreme generosity, they have already raised over £5,000 for Christie’s.

And thanks to Bill Gates’ extreme generosity, we stand to double it. Ed works for Microsoft and they match all money raised by their employees – up to £7,500. How good is that? This trip was all Ed’s idea and most of the hard work has been his (booking tickets, writing the blog, organising the disorganised, not to mention constant tyre chasing). So every £1 raised really is thanks to him.

And if there’s anyone out there who’s not a Microsoft fan (?!), either change your attitude – or sponsor Ed a lot of money to make the software giant pay.
