Leafleting on Springfield - Saturday 10th April 2010

Arrived at 10:30am in very hot glourious sunshine had a good turnout of helpers too.
I was teamed up with Cllr Jess Holroyd I managed to get in to three out of four block of flats, at the fourth block of flats I pressed the Tradesman enterance and a loud piercing noise which seem to go on for ages and still I could not open the lobby door so I left quickly in case I upset the residents and lose Andrew some votes!
At one street Jess decided to take her coat off and put her leaflets and bag down on some old chairs left outside one of the properties.
A couple of streets later she exclaimed that she had mislaid her handbag and obviously wanted to search for it and could not remember where she had left it I suggested she want back to the street where she put everything on the old dumped chairs, she asked if I could lend her some money all I had was £5 which I gave her as she said she may need it to make a phone call home.
I carried on in her abscence leafleting and met up with her once I finished and was thankful to me for remembering the possible location as the handbag was still there luckily the owner had not gone to the tip in the meantime to get rid of the Chairs.
Once we had finished we met up with the rest of Team Labour and Cllr Hillary Saunders was there as she had turned up later wearing her Labour Rosette something I had not considered doing I went to the shop to buy a bottle of coke and drove home.
I was so exhausted I left as the rest went on to leaflet Downs Barn how do they do it I felt so guilty but they are younger than me!
Once I got home I saw a letter from Milton Keynes Council it was my confirmation that my nomination as a candidate was valid, the proposer was Andrew Pakes and the seconder was his father.
