4 GG Yorkies did the 12-2 stretch at Tesco for Diabetes UK. Maddie and Leanne were enjoying themselves so much during the morning session that they decided to stick around!

The lovely customers of Tesco were incredibly generous, in total today we raised £380!!!

Ed popped in with his little boy Arthur. Their first 2 minute challenge was the press ups! Now at this point, Egg held the lead with 30. Ed totally destroyed this record with 60 quality press ups (Egg did ask me later... "what was his form like?" and I confirmed that it was good, after all... his trainer has trained him well!)

This record didn't last long. A husband and wife approached us, and she was encouraging him to take part. Turns out he is a 65yr old retired fire fighter, and you have to be pretty fit to get in the fire service. 91 press ups, NINETY-ONE!!!!!!

After recovering from that excitement, Vicky took on the Art Attack challenge and took top score of 10. Then the Doves arrived, Ellie drew and Ben guessed. Clearly they are very well suited and Ben can identify Ellie's sketches quickly, as they stormed into the lead with 12.

Nobody could improve on the morning's cup tower record, but there were loads of cups flying around the place as we tried.

A success all round.
