We decided that we would like to do the whole thing for charity and have teamed up with www.justgiving.co.uk so that we can accept donations from you to support our chosen charity - Asylum Seekers Support Initiative - Short Term (ASSIST).The Dick Dastardlieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02641758322635958107noreply@blogger.comBlogger31100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134627518600132973.post-30228455882973177582009-07-27T09:20:00.000-07:002009-07-27T09:25:24.690-07:00Hello everyone!<br /><br />We've finally got the website up and running!!

The website is so very very near completion it's untrue!! Everything is in place except the age old web designer hatred for Internet Explorer which for some reason (as per usual) destroys my layout. Still - not a problem, I'll get it sorted tomorrow and we should be up and running by tomorrow evening (I Hope!!).<br /><br />I also need to get this blog styled up as it's looking like a mess at the moment - and style up the Just Giving page we created - it's all good!! Once all that's done I need to get on with designing the stickery type things we're hoping to put on the car (by next weekend - I think we might be pushing it a bit for that but hey ho!) so I've got another hectic week ahead!<br /><br />Still - I managed to put in time for beers in Hyde Park Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed watching Hamilton storm to victory in the Hungarian Grand Prix - Wooo, he's back!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5134627518600132973-2977613866779577176?l=thedickdastardlies.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Dick Dastardlieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02641758322635958107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134627518600132973.post-77483029763632464862009-07-25T02:00:00.000-07:002009-07-25T02:01:45.369-07:00So we're currently in the process of building the website and getting our blog setup!!
