Everybody looked wonderful in their pink outfits, tiaras and boas!  The ladies that I treated all said they'd had a wonderful time and were so chuffed to be getting pampered. They especially liked the venue and the pink bubbly....All your organization worked beautifully and it all seemed to run like clockwork" - Heather Ruth, Virgin Vie, Therapist

"CONGRATULATIONS! What a fantastic event I really enjoyed today and the weather was such a bonus!  You all must have worked so hard I just had to let you know what a great day it was.  The after party in the Winter Gardens was superb. Well done to all the helpers.  I will be signing up for next year!" - Beth Cowie, Walker

"I have just done the Bling Fling and had to let you know it was an absolutely fantastic day/evening. The walk was well organised and the after party was so great with so much on offer there was barely a queue.  Having done the Moon Walk, this was much better.... Certainly the best sponsored walk I've done. Keep up the good work." - Karen Grieve (Deaks)  

"You must be delighted with the wonderful success... I thoroughly enjoyed myself and so far have raised £600.  Everything about the day and evening was amazing.  It clearly took a lot of hard work, planning and team work.  You all did a fantastic job.  Congratulations!  - Gilli Hearns, Walker

"Just wanted to say thanks very much for an absolutely fabulous day/night..I think I can speak for all of my Bling Fling team when I say that it surpassed our expectations and the Aberdeen weather, which you can never predict, was glorious! The atmosphere was great and we met some new friends...A truly worthwhile experience that I will be telling all my friends about.  Roll on Bling Fling 2010" - Irene Mathieson, Walker

"Had such a fabulous time on Sunday from the sea of pink when approaching Duthie Park,  the warm up, the walk itself, stovies and the fantastic entertainment, treatments and of course the pink fizz and nibbles.  A truly memorable day.  When can we register for next year?  Well done to you all and thank you." - Team Tinkerbells

"Brilliant day - what a great idea. Congratulations x" - Jill Rafferty, Walker

"Well done for yesterday - a great day & great success.  Hope you're not too worn out...bet the adrenalin kept you going."   - Eva Will, Walker

"What a day!  It was fantastic.  A huge congratulations to the team who organised an amazing day in perfect settings...From the time that the marquee was getting set up in the afternoon to the time I saw you walking out as the last person in the Winter Gardens it was all go but so well managed that the time really flew in.  All of the ladies I spoke to were hugely complimentary, and asking for more of the same next year. It must have been hugely satisfying for you as well, considering all that you have gone through in the past year.  Once again, congratulations for what was a wonderful day.  The money raised almost seems incidental - but of course that was the real purpose of the day.  To have had such a successful day AND raising over £50,000 on the day is simply amazing!!!"
