Whooooooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooo,

Great news Dawn, I was just wondering if they'd arrive this mornining, that's a relief, thanks for letting me know. That's now 11 out of 12.

Hope you both like 'em and thanks so much for your support.

I added two new scenes to the animation and some dry ice to an existing scene over the weekend:

and a new banner for the website

Cheers

Is there any chance that it is still caught up in your security thingy?, is there anyone you can ask?.

Cheers

Hi Leigh, didn't get on the pc yesterday but my t-shirt arrived safe and sound at 3pm! yesterday (honestly I know they are flexible with their times but 3pm - really). Thanks for doing this the t-shirt is fab, really good quality and it's very cool seeing my boys piccies on there

LeighK · « **Reply #141 on:** August 28, 2008, 11:23:41 AM »

Drat !!!

Please keep me posted Dawn.

Cheers

Leigh

Dawn F · « **Reply #140 on:** August 28, 2008, 11:20:33 AM »

LeighK · « **Reply #139 on:** August 28, 2008, 11:11:55 AM »

Cheers

The quality is excellent. The sizes are generous, which is why I think OH was eyeing mine up speculatively....

I may let him share, on occasion. For a small fee, or a large whisky - whichever.

LeighK · « **Reply #137 on:** August 28, 2008, 07:24:43 AM »

Hi Sheryl,

Thanks for letting me know, I'm really pleased that you like it.

They do seem to have been a bit generous on their sizes, I ordered a large one althought I'm most often a medium but sometimes a medium is a bit too small and my t-shirt is a bit large. I don't know how they vary so much, I buy other clothes such as trousers etc. where I know my waist and leg measurements and they fit perfectly, shirts where the collar and chest sizes fit just fine but t-shirt sizes seem to be a bit of a lottery. Check the size on the lable and see if it is the size that you ordered I tripple checked sizes and designs before I sent the order off but maybe they've made an error, anyway they are 100% cotton so they are good quality.

8 down 4 to go

all the best

Leigh

LeighK · « **Reply #135 on:** August 27, 2008, 19:03:19 PM »

.Great stuff Sue, I'm delighted that you like it and that it arrived safely.

7 down 5 to go

All the best and thanks for letting me know.

Cheers

Leigh

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #134 on:** August 27, 2008, 18:51:54 PM »

Wooohoo!! It's arrived - was waiting for me when I got home!

Paddy has "investiggerated" it, OH has eyed it up jealously, wondering if he could squeeze his svelte form into it (NO!

) and I love it!

Thank you sooooooo much Leigh.

It's even better than the piccies. And it's mine.....

(Should have a smiley for "struggles commence over possession of fabby T-shirt....")

LeighK · « **Reply #133 on:** August 27, 2008, 18:39:33 PM »

Excellent, thanks for letting me know Sally, I'm really pleased that you both like them.

6 T-Shirts accounted for 6 to go

In the words of the A-Team, "I love it when a pan comes together"

All the best

Leigh

sallyagdm · « **Reply #132 on:** August 27, 2008, 18:13:29 PM »

just to let you know that 2 T shirts arrived today

They look better in the flesh than in the photos

Thank you for all your hard work

Sally and Paul

LeighK · « **Reply #131 on:** August 27, 2008, 13:15:25 PM »

I am so delighted that it is all happening, I spoke to the lady (Jenny) at Nine Lives/PAWs for Life and she has received the cheque and asked me to pass on her sincerely thanks to you all.

I'm off shortly do deliver a training session to some folks, I'll catch up later when I get in.

Cheers

Leigh

Dawn F · « **Reply #130 on:** August 27, 2008, 13:06:13 PM »

phew! £37.50 not wasted (yes I miscalculated when I wrote the cheque!!)

LeighK · « **Reply #129 on:** August 27, 2008, 13:04:25 PM »

I thought they might, I couldn't afford the carriage on the lead-lined option so you should be okay with a plain 'ol jiffy pack

Dawn F · « **Reply #128 on:** August 27, 2008, 13:02:51 PM »

don't joke Leigh, they would!

LeighK · « **Reply #127 on:** August 27, 2008, 12:59:53 PM »

That's great thanks Chris,

Opps, I just knew it was a mistake to go for the lead-lined packaging option Dawn, I hope they don't blow them up

Cheers

Leigh

Dawn F · « **Reply #126 on:** August 27, 2008, 12:41:56 PM »

nothing here yet Leigh but everything has to be xrayed first so it will probably come tomorrow, can't wait! OH will have to wait until December (I won't say the word) for his, it is one of his pressies from the gang

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #125 on:** August 27, 2008, 12:40:10 PM »

Two T shirts received safe and sound this morning! Brilliant! Good work, Leigh

LeighK · « **Reply #124 on:** August 27, 2008, 10:29:23 AM »

Hi Stu,

So pleased you received it okay, have fun and thank you very very much for your kind support.

I love the Helideck crew vid, great stuff.

Cheers mate

Leigh

PS. Seeing your chariot makes my walk to work look dead boring, mind you I only have a 5/6 minute walk so it wouldn't be very fuel efficient I if got me one of those

Actually I've been worrying a bit about the T-Shirt thing as there's the printers and the good 'ol Royal Mail to contend with and will sigh a sigh of relief when everyone has received theirs, that's why I'd ask folks to post when they receive their T-Shirt/s so that I can cross them off the list.

Stuart · « **Reply #123 on:** August 27, 2008, 10:25:19 AM »

Dito Leigh, I recieved my one this morning also, and they're Very well done (Good Quality)
Unfortunately, the photo's will have to wait till I get home. Tis that time again, and my chariot await's
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAdIkXVaJnw

But Rest assured in two weeks time I shall return and shall post the piccies up

I'll even join the Heli Deck crew for a celebration

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXzQnrQacO0

Will try to keep in touch when I'm out there

LeighK · « **Reply #122 on:** August 27, 2008, 10:08:12 AM »

Hi folks,

Guess what dropped through my "Letterbox" at wok today

Please let me know when yours drop through you letterboxes too, any pics would also be nice, I think they did a very good job of the printing.

hope you like 'em

All the best

Leigh

LeighK · « **Reply #121 on:** August 20, 2008, 10:04:21 AM »

Hi Sue,

Yes, thanks, had a very tiring but also a very good day, took mum into Kingston by bus, had a look around the charity shops then down to the river and a return journey to Richmond by river boat with a fish and chip lunch in Richmond. The crew on the boat couldn't have been more helpful unlike the complete idiot on a push bike who harred across the road crossing and almost hit us because he wasn't looking where he was going.

Cheers

Leigh

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #120 on:** August 20, 2008, 07:02:32 AM »

Hope you had a good day out with your Mum on Saturday Leigh.

LeighK · « **Reply #119 on:** August 19, 2008, 20:27:36 PM »

Hi Stu,

Good to hear from you mate, I'm expecting the T-shirts to start popping through your letterboxes any time now.

Cheers

Leigh

Stuart · « **Reply #118 on:** August 19, 2008, 18:13:12 PM »

K Leigh, Thanks for keeping us up to speed

and give yourself a pat on the back for all your hard work

Regards Stuart

LeighK · « **Reply #117 on:** August 15, 2008, 09:38:36 AM »

Hiya,

Just to let everyone know, I sent the cheque from Purrs to the lady at Nine Lives/Paws for Life this morning. I was my intent to hand it over in person but I am unable to get into town for at least a week as I am taking my mum out tomorrow from her nursing home and I'd rather that she had the cheque as soon as possible so that it can straight away go towards looking after the elderly cats and cats with illnesses that they specialise in.

I will keep you all informed with any communications from the charity.

T.Shirts should be with you very soon.

Cheers

Leigh

LeighK · « **Reply #116 on:** August 13, 2008, 09:53:21 AM »

Hiya,

Just to let you all know that Tan paid the T.Shirt suppliers and has popped a cheque in the post to me made out to Nine Lives along with one that we can enlarge as I intend to hand it over personally, as they are situated in London, and get some nice pics to share with you all. The T.Shirts should be popping through your letterboxes (excuse the pun)

fairly soon now.

Cheers

Leigh

Oh and....

Just when you thought it was safe to open your web browser!

I've added a new scene for the animation

BTW: the cat sitting on the JCB driving seat in the background is my beloved Bridge-Babe "Oli" who makes a few cameo appearances in the animation, like the chauffer of the limo

Please excuse the shameless plug for the mugs but builders 'ave to 'ave their cuppa cha!

Cheers

Leigh

PS: Please let me know when your T.shirt/s arrive as I'm keeping a list, thanks.

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #115 on:** August 12, 2008, 16:19:14 PM »

Thanks for posting those up, Leigh

. I don't much like the picture of me by the side of the Thames, but it does illustrate my preference for baggy T shirts - and it shows one of the hand-painted T shirts I mentioned in http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,16393.msg280966.html#msg280966

LeighK · « **Reply #114 on:** August 12, 2008, 11:27:28 AM »

@ Sue, great turn of phrase even though it is isn't true.

Public Notice: Please note that the extent of my T.shirt supply liability doesn't extend to being swept away if a sudden gust of wind should blow up from an unexpected direction due to a failure on the part of the wearer to take adequate weather safety precautions.

Henceforth to be know as the "Mary Poppins" clause.

Seriously though I really like the "look" the T.Shirt should be big enough to achieve it effortlessly.

Cheers

Leigh

Dawn F · « **Reply #113 on:** August 12, 2008, 11:24:10 AM »

Sue while I doubt that is true I love that phrase!!!

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #112 on:** August 12, 2008, 11:21:15 AM »

Mai ouis!

Christine - I couldn't wear them that way - me belly'd get in the road!

LeighK · « **Reply #111 on:** August 12, 2008, 11:07:15 AM »

There you go ladies and gentlemen, by public demand, the one, the only, the one and only Christine :

Très chic, n’est-ce pas?

Cheers

Leigh
