As some of you know, Wendy does a guest spot on the Jim Davis show at LBC every 6 weeks or so, as their Life Design Expert.
Jim is one of the committee members for Sparks, The children's Medical Research Charity and asked whether we would be interested in going along - it was held at the Guildhall in London, a fantastic place, although for us non city dwellers, a bit of a challenge to get to!
We set out in good time, and yet the map let us down somewhere around Bloomsbury Square, so we abandoned the car in favour of a taxi, as we were running late, and had already missed the champagne and canapes!
We arrived at the same time as Bobby Davro and friend, and found ourselves right near the front, on the table with other committee members Natalie Pinkham (Channel 4's Adrenalin Rush presenter) and Giles Vickers-Jones (presenter of ITV at the Movies for ITV1 and ITV 2) with Robert Powell (the actor)the charity's President on the next table - so we did really well!
There was a fashion show and live auction, at which one of the prizes was to appear on This Morning. Fortunately for the Relish bank balance, not only was my bid exceeded, but Wendy wasn't paying any attention! The amount raised that evening was in excess of £50,000, which was fab!
It was all over by 10.30pm, and Wendy and I then set off in search of the car, and to make our way home. However, by this time, I was hungry again (always the same when I have a late night!) and I think we stopped at every Macdonald's on the way home in search of something quick and easy to eat - and no joy! We ended up outside Fleet Station buying a kebab to have once we got to Wendy's...and boy was it great!
I finally got home at 3am, exhausted, but having had a really good evening!

Relish become LBC experts!
Wendy and I are very excited!
Wendy has become the Life Design expert for the Jim Davis show on LBC radio!
Wendy has made 2 appearances with Jim and has already made her mark on him! He made the mistake of explaining how a friend had rung him up and that he would try to go out for a drink with them that week. Big mistake!
Wendy was straight in there and pointed out that there was no such thing as try! Anyone who says try, is actually being very polite or is using it to postpone saying no.
In the words of Yoda from Star Wars "Do or do not. There is no try"
I used to say try all the time, now working with Wendy has made it very apparant it is not a word to use lightly!!
