I must admit I believe in the ‘Race for LIfe’ campaign and stress that all women are invited to either walk, trot, dance, or run 5k to raise money for research for breast cancer.They are currently doing an ad campaign to raise awareness about this fund raisingJust before Christmas, I was asked to audition for the advert they are making, in January was told I got it which I was really happy about. Because this advert was for a charity I was asked to take a nominal fee which I agreed to.However, no script arrived so I wondered what I was actually doing in it. When I got there I was amongst many actors as well as non-actors. The scene was set in a working office and they wanted a group of women to say together ‘We’re invited’ holding up the ‘Race for life’ leaflets. Positioning took forever as they shuffled about 25 different women according to ‘colour’ is what they said. In the end, after being placed in many different positions I was eventually put at the back!!! Therefore, I was not really used for it which I must say was disappointing for me and a complete waste of money for them .. especially as they were on such a tight budget.Really why they employed actors to be in it and pay them instead of just using the staff in the office (which was more than half of us anyway) I do not know.However, I wish them luck with their fundraising as the cause is very worthy.

Just before Christmas I went up for three different acting roles. I am pleased to say that I was successful with one of the auditions I did and I’ve managed to get a wee acting role in an advert for a good cause no less. I am going to be doing an advert to promote ‘cancer research for breast cancer’ … their walk for life. whoopee.

A couple got more than they bargained for when they went out for a meal in Florida, US. After biting on something hard whilst eating clams the man found a Rare purple pearl. So for just a £5.00 they are now the proud owners of a rare pearl …. which they say they’re going to sell. Hey not bad, the only thing my husband has ever bit into whilst eating out was several pieces of stone cooked in with a spinach pasta dish in an Italian restaurant … we did get the food free after that together with an invitation to come again … but we didn’t ever go back!!
