This competition is a bit of fun for Easter, but is raising much needed funds for 2 local charities – Teesside Hospice and Saltburn Animal Rescue Association.

We have a huge jar of chocolate mini eggs, and we are asking students and staff to guess the number of mini eggs in the jar for a chance to win a luxury Easter Hamper (there will also be a number of runner up prizes).

Staff from Academic Enterprise will be based at various points on campus at different times leading up to the ‘big count’ and prize draw on 1st April, but students are invited to drop into the Stephenson Building, room IC1.01 to see the jar, make a guess (£1 a go) and to enter the prize draw.

How to safely transport your child tip one: When the lady in the shop says it will never fit, you should listen

Now I have never had a blog before and after five months at Click I am beginning to understand why I have never had one in the past, I’m rubbish at keeping them. It’s like diaries I always started them with the best of intentions but after a few weeks I was down to a few bullet points, once I had convinced myself that everyday didn’t have something interesting in that is, to ‘losing’ it under my bed and anyone who knows me will know once it goes under there it will never be seen again until it learns to grow arms and legs to claw itself out.

 Anyway I digress first let me introduce myself a little my name is Ally and I am one third of the totally awesome team of Pick n Mix and we have our show 5-7pm every Thursday on FM radio, yes even though I did win the award for best cock up by turning the radio off for a whole 20 minutes the powers that be have let me loose on live radio. It’s been three shows now and I think we have all settled into our new roles and timeslot nicely, had a panic attack last week when I was doing the washing up and realised oh my god its 4:15 I’m on air, I got halfway to the door when I realised I wasn’t. Those of you who listen in and that should be all of you will know why I was panicking, those of you who don’t shame on you.

 Like I said I think we are all finally settling in, the nerves whenever the ‘on air’ light goes on seems to have gone as is the fear of playing songs that are not of the fluffy boy band variety in case there are some naughty words also check us out with the news J. It is a great honour to be on FM and we are working on some stuff to reward the faith placed in us including myself in this blog.

 However I am now off to watch The Brits on catch up TV as my mam has been going on about it all the way back from Whitby as I was sandwiched against the door by a cupboard, best not to ask really, she couldn’t stop telling me how good ‘Lilly and the Machine’ and ‘Florence Allen’ where as well as how ungracious ‘that scruffy looking bloke’ was so I am off to check them out for myself.

Till next time peace out
