Best wishes

Well done - you have made the Solihull News! Lovely pic in there, I will try and pop up tomorrow to bring you paper xxx

Well done to the whole Boswell family, brilliant achievement!

YAY! We have raised a total of £2,860! I am so very grateful to everyone who has supported our sleepover. Sorry if I have missed sending you a thank you card (I feel like I have written hundreds!) but I really and truly appreciate the support of everyone who has helped us raise this fantastic amount to help the greys at Daybreaks xxxx

well done ruth and rob, you make a great team together, and you inspire everyone around you,your commitment is amazing,its a privilege to know you x.

Have a cosy and comfy night Boswell clan. We've had no heating now for 11 days so can appreciate the warmth of a cuddle with your best four legged friend! Well done for what you're doing, I hope Santa finds you with a sizeable donation!! When we've fixed our boiler we'll add our pennies to the pot. Happy christmas everyone. Love from Laura, Craig and Roxy. xxx

Many thanks to everyone who has sponsored us for the sleepover tonight.... Over £2000 and still rising.... We will post some pictures on Facebook tonight direct from my phone. Just to prove we really are doing it!!!! We must be mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -10 deg predicted and some areas as low as -18deg Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Best wishes for the Christmas Sleepover.

Happy Christmas to everyone.

Wishing you both all the best for tonight, what you are doing for these wonderful dogs is amazing and as for record low temperatures, a good excuse for a good snuggle! Have a wonderful Christmas and I'll see you in the New Year, hugs from me and licks from Buddy and Jack xxx

Wishing you a good night tonight, hope it's not too cold for you. Congratulatios on raising so much money!
Happy Christmas

ha ha just seen on TV that there will be record low temperatures tonight :-(

Well - tonight's the night! Hot water bottle packed.... Baileys at the ready and the thought that over £2000 has been raised already for Perry Barr and Daybreaks - flipping fantastic! I am so grateful to everyone for your support x

Yay! The most wonderful chef in the world - Ina - is coming over especially to bring us our Christmas dinner! Fab! xxxx

Is anyone able to take a xmas dinner, one veggie (see bottom of this thread)? We are in Staffs Moorlands so it makes more sense if someone local can do it! :-)

I am so very very grateful for everyone's generosity - I have now raised £1374!

Hi Deb, yes please for the mattress and Jean, if yours is spare too, that would be really great xxxxx

Hi Ruth - we also have a spare single mattress, that you can have if you need more than one. Just let me know if you want it and we will keep it untill needed. xx Jean

Hi Ruth - we do have a spare single mattress that you can have for your very brave sleepover! If you like, we can keep hold of it for you until nearer the time so that it doesn't get damp? Just let me know if you still need it. X deb

ummmmm..... does anyone have a single mattress that they don't want?! It is to put on the floor of the kennel for when we sleep overnight on Christmas Eve...... I would be most grateful x

I am so very very grateful for the generosity in those who have supported our sleepover..... the donations are flooding in since the Grapevine was posted..... THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH xx

only just joined your site, but what a wonderful idea, do hope you made lots of money, I get my dogs from Hersham and am fostering Ellie who came from Perry Barr as a racer but was found as a stray when\tia took her on and was then transferred to Hersham.

i was hoping to be able to provide the x mas dinner for you both and maybe if i can persuade my dear friend to ask his boss for a few odds and ends i may be able to stretch for a roast chicken dinner for the boys and girls as well. :-) xxxx

Brilliant idea! Don't forget to tell Santa where to fnd you!! xx

Any offers of a Christmas dinner would be much appreciated (veggie of course for me!)
