Media domination!

There was a lovely article and photo about Elizabeth in our local paper today which resulted in my having rather a strange Friday to say the least...

A news agency picked up the story and I returned from the Baby Clinic and a coffee at my friend's house to be greeted by a journalist. We had a chat and he said that lots of magazines had been in touch. As they would donate a few hundred pounds for the story to the Sick Children's Trust I heard him out, but unfortunately they were all of the ilk of 'Chat' and 'Closer', so I said no to him. He called back later to say that the Daily Mail and Express wanted the story, but I again said no as I'm not a big fan of tabloids - you never know what kind of spin they're going to put on a story. They cheekily sent a photographer (just as Elizabeth was about to have an injection), but I sent him packing (politely, honest!). We'd much rather raise the money through other means.

We are, however, going to be on the local news tomorrow as a heart-warming Christmassy story for the end of the bulletin. All we want is the chance to get some positive publicity for the SCT and to say thank you to all those who have helped us, so hopefully we won't be bothered by the nasty nationals again!

PS: We'll scan the photo into the Blog ASAP. It's sweet!
PPS: Elizabeth only put on 2oz this week. Had lovely chat with the lady at the Baby Clinic, so hopefully we'll do better next week.
