It's UK Radio Aid Day and we're all tuned into one of 288 commercial radio stations which are broadcasting the same shows from 6am to 6pm. Great dj's from the past such as Evans, Bates and Goodier are here to make the day go with a swing and give away prizes to those of us who text them at £1.50 a go. It's all for this year's good cause, the tsunami disaster fund, and I for one am having the most fun I've ever had.
Encouraged by Radio Aid, our office is doing so many fun things to raise money for the victims. And all it took was an email from the boss.
Things we are doing:-
1. The boss has donated £75 so that he can have his six month old baby for the day. His estranged wife left him during pregnancy and he's in a bitter battle with her to get access. But today they have put apart their differences and the baby is in the office. The boss wears cufflinks inscribed with the words 'World's Greatest Dad'.
2. We each pay £1 each time the boss changes his son's nappy. He is extremely keen to do this as he says 'It's a bonding thing'. He seems to change the nappy about once an hour. Either he changes it when it is not necessary or the baby was on the beer last night.
3. We pay for the boss to do the tea and coffee runs all day. I'm concerned that he may not be washing his hands so I drink bottled water.
4. We have a swear box (£1 for a 'shit', £2 for a 'fuck', but nothing for the 'c' word as that would be encouraging filth).
5. All the men in the office are sponsored by the women to wear thongs for the day. The men sponsor the women to wear decent knickers.
6. We have a lunchtime auction of unwanted Christmas presents. Everybody seems to have brought in their secret santa presents from office colleagues. Mine is a bottle of Hugo Boss aftershave.
7. We have an auction, too of childrens' paintings. There are no bids and parents are forced to buy their own kids' creations at £1 each.
8. We have a sweepstake to guess the weight of the baby. It's a fat thing and I've no idea how much babies weigh so I say 2 stone 7 pounds. I do not win.
In all, we raise £274 and we get a mention on the radio. They play Dido for us.
Congratulations, team!
