Red Nose Day

For the last couple of years, I must admit I've not been watching the RND BBC night. I guess I found it all too real and distressing but last night I really wanted to see what happened to Whitney in Easties so I flicked over to the BBC and I'm glad I did.

It really was a fantastic show with a variety of things for all tastes- I'm gutted I missed Outnumbered (it's brilliant methinks) and a few weeks ago I saw Hugh Dennis in Waterloo and felt the compelling urge to tell the Twitter nation. So it's fair to say I'm a bit of a fan of the bonkers family comedy.

The little videos of young people in parts of Africa and the UK were stunning. I moan because I have exams, because I can't buy my favourite ham and the tube prices leave me quite furious and then you see someone like that young man Lenny Henry was with who is practically raising a family on his own, (and I swear he was like twelve) it does honestly break your heart.

Radio 1 longest show, the Desert Trek Crew and the InBetweener boys all got us enticed and invovled but we've got to remember it's for those young people, children and families on our doorstep and abroad who really need our love and support.

It's awesome to know that even after all the economic issues we've had here, over £42million pounds was pledged last night to look after those who need it the most. We really are quite a generous nation.

Here's a little treat for you- I sported my red nose last night, (they really need to think about designing it for flat noses- we don't all have ski slopes) and took a picture: http://twitpic.com/4asa60
