it on your behalf.

Remember, whether you are donating a prize or purchasing a raffle
ticket, you are potentially saving a life !

Baguette Express Shop Manager, Sandra, has sent an email to
a very famous rock star in the hope he may donate a little something
so we can "auction" it off to really boost the raffle and make
a huge difference to the fight against Breast Cancer.

Sandra has also emailed a very famous TV show presenter,
who is a keen fisherman in the Borders, to ask if he would
consider donating approx 30 mins or 1hr of their time
giving fishing tips/advice of salmon fishing.


However, as yet Sandra has had no reply. But there is plenty
of time ! Fingers Crossed.


Keep checking the webpage regularly here.


Thank you very much.

We are still hopeful. c'mon guys, you know you want to!! ;)

UPDATE - Tuesday 17th March 09

Many thanks to Robert "hads" Haddow of Haddow & Rae - formerly
Mike Todd Car Sales Innerleithen.
Mr Haddow has donated a full car service.

UPDATE - Tuesday 7th April 09

B/E Hawick have had a massive interest in their Breast Cancer
Raffle. There has been an overwhelming amount of tickets
purchased. Thanks to everyone.

However, we still have 3 days to go, so c'mon, lets
give a big final push ready for the big day on Friday the 10th.

Remember, although the charity is national, it's still
local people who benefit ! Never forget that when it comes to
an illness like Breast Cancer there is no warning you've got it.
It just happens and there is nothing anyone can do at that first stage.
If anyone is a believer of the old say - "it will never happen to me"
our advice is - wakey wakey !

With every penny raised, Breast Cancer Campaign can continue
their fight to combat the illness, the more they can carry out
their magic in their lab's, the even higher success you have
should you unfortunately require treatment.

A strip of raffle tickets are £1 each. It may well just be the best
pound you ever spend, not onlt could you win a great prize, you
are helping to potentially save a life ! You never know, one day it may be
your own.

If you pop into Baguette Express this week, everyone is wearing
pink! We have pink balloons, banners etc.
This week is Hawicks "PINK WEEK"

Come and join the fun.

PS - In regards to Sandra's ( shop manager) 2 email's
mentioned in this blog. We have recevied - no reply from anyone.
Not even a "thanks but no thanks" Shame as most people
support those 2 gentleman purchasing their items.

In the meantime, Baguette Express, Sandbed Hawick is where
all the fun is. C'mon !!

Insideout Garden and Property Care Service

Insideout are becoming increasingly popular in their Property
Care Service around the Scottish Borders.

Keith from InsideOut tells Borders Local
"we are a small company with very little overheads
so we can keep our costing well below our competition"

Keith added, "for example, calling out a roofing firm to clean out your
guttering is fairly expensive, however, we carry out the same task
thoroughly saving the customers money, as saving our
customers money is our concept "i would also like to
point out many home owners never think about
cleaning out their roof gutters but if dirt builds up
and water seeps through your roof or brickwork,
it can cause severe problems which will be extremely costly"


( click here for the importancies of keeping your roof guttering clear )

Insideout carry out many tasks for the home owner
and all jobs no matter how big or small are considered.


Insideout are filling their order book for Garden Services
with customers from all over the Borders.

Keith adds "2009 is going to be busy, we receive a lot
of enquiries and we have many new customers who will
be utilising Insideout to carry out their Gardening Jobs.
We also have enquiries to carry out Grounds Maintenance
Contracts for Commercial customers."

Insideout also inform Borders Local that their
Farm Labour Relief Service is of high interest to
the Farming Community with a good stream
of enquiries.

Outside Catering success for Hawick Common Riding 2008

Baguette Express, Hawick has been a massive
success for producing high quality buffets and picnics over the
3 main days during Hawick Common Riding.

The staff based in the Sandbed were unindated with enquiries
from customers.
Sandra Johnson, the shop manager of Baguette Express said
"we were totally booked up well in advance, we also had customers
asking for our service just hours before the big day, some were coming in
seeking picnics giving us less than 1 hours notice"

Sandra went on to say "we worked flat out and fulfilled all requests, we
additionally received phone call orders on Friday morning of the
Common Riding from customers up at the Hut !
We made up their large orders and delievered them to the hungry lads"

Baguette Express are delightfully surprised how popular their
outside catering has become for picnics, buffets, business lunches, christenings etc.

Keith Johnson, proprietor of Baguette Express tells Borders Local,
"Since the Common Riding we have had many people coming
in praising our outside catering service, even customers who
were in the shop purchasing their breakfast saw the
buffets and picnics we can produce so they made enquiries for their
forth coming functions. Overall its been a great success
for us and we didnt even advertise regarding the picnics,
so that tells us everything"

Baguette Express carry out outside catering regularly for many
different functions and events. If you would like to find out more,
