Nikki's Back to the Floor Fundraiser
















FRIDAY - and pair black shoes number 1 – old faithfuls’ & comfy!

6pm-10pm The night started well in Conference & Banqueting, I joined the team just as the main course had finished, I managed to serve desert without dropping any and coffee without spilling any! All went calm after the toast, until the room was turned around – then didn’t sit down for hours!

I couldn’t sleep for my feet throbbing!

SATURDAY, and black pair of shoes number 2 – Flat’s, surely can’t go wring!!

Old faithfuls’ now the most uncomfortable shoes on the planet (or so I thought) so the flats came out – bliss!

9am-2pm Housekeeping – OMG I knew this was going to be a tough department, but hat’s off to the team, I don’t know how you do it!! The football turnaround nearly finished me off!! (Ann – sorry about the bins!)

2pm-5pm Next was a crash course on Micros and a stint on the Chimney Bar, then followed by a few hours in Sports & Spikes – It has been about 14 years since I pulled a pint, and only managed to break 1 glass!!

5pm-7.30pm The Chimney Bar! By this point it felt as if the outside tables were about a mile and a half away!

By the time I got home, I was unable to put pressure on my feet and I was even too tired to watch Big Brother!

SUNDAY – And black pair of shoes number 3! There was no way Saturdays pair were going anywhere near my feet!

Flat’s now the most uncomfortable pair of shoes on the planet!

10am to 2pm Sunday Breakfast and Sunday Carvery – How I could

Thank goodness only 3 days – at this point I had run out of back shoes!

Again, I take my hat off you the guys in Op’s, it has been 14 years since I have worked operationally and this weekend has reminded me why I moved into Sales! Thank you for making me feel so welcome (and being gentle with me!) and thank you for your support with my fundraising.

Finally, I would just like to say a huge THANK YOU to Debbie Cavanagh who made all this happen!!
