Wow. What a week. Our poor postman's back has been feeling the strain as package upon package of knitted hats arrived daily at fruit towers.
The postman's back aside (sorry Dave - he calls the campaign The Big Nuisance by the way), it's great news for our attempt to reach our target of 500,000 hats. But if you've been keeping an eye on our hatometer today, and worrying that we've not hit our target, fear not. As you can see from the picture we've still got loads of hats to unpack, so we probably won't know what our final total figure is until next week.
Keep your eyes on this blog for more updates. And if you have any stray hats lying around at home, get them in to us quick smart.
Now then, back to those hats. 1, 2, 3, 4...
Oops.
The deadline was Friday, wasn't it?
The thing is I was away and pretty disconnected...so... Can I still send you my hats...today?

Sandra,
Thanks so much for knitting. Yes the deadline was on Friday 17th but if you pop them in the post this week we'll make sure they get on a bottle.
thanks
Meera
