Operation Christmas Child : Volunteer Day : 16 November 2006

As part of our work's commitment to get involved in our communities, I organised for the girls from my office to create a shoebox of love for Operation Christmas Child which is run by Samaritan's Purse.

In addition, we decided to spend our 1 Volunteer day for this financial year at the processing centre in Blacktown where we were checking the shoeboxes - filling them with something to love, something to write with, something to eat, something to use for hygiene and something to wear! They expect to process approximately 43,000 boxes which will be distributed to children all over the world ... it was great fun ... here are some photos from the day's activities!!

U2 Vertigo Tour : 13 November 2006

Last night, I went to the U2 Vertigo Tour with 3 girlfriends, Ode, Rach and Jules ... we had the most SUPERB time ever ... and our whole night was kicked off with a once in a life time opportunity to meet Bono and The Edge in person!!! As we got to the parking station where we had pre-paid our parking ticket, we noticed a crowd of approx. 20 people standing at the entrance to the stadium drive way ... and there ... in the midst of them ... was BONO ... signing autographs ... we went mad ... we hopped out the car and ran to join the crowd ... we got some stunning photos of him ... he was only a foot away from us ... then ... in true star struck fashion, we were scrambling to find something to get an autograph ... I only had my ticket ... and sadly, he was refusing to sign tickets ... but then ... about 5 minutes later ... another car pulled up and THE EDGE jumped out and he was much more willing to sign things ... so I got his autograph on my ticket and he signed Ode's T-shirt ... we got more photos of him!! The girls have the photos on their mobiles so I am waiting to receive them via email at some point and will post them up as soon as I get them but in the mean time, here are some photos with the autographs! It was a FANTABULOUS concert ... they are the best ever band of all time ... U2 ROCK!!

Here they are ... the long awaited photos of Bono and The Edge ... up close and personal !!
