A CHIPPENHAM office worker went to work in her pyjamas, and even took her teddy with her, but it was all for a good cause.

Surrinder Kaur, 45, of Elmwood, collected more than £220 from colleagues at Westcode Semiconductors in Chippenham, for the Forever Friends appeal for the Royal United Hospital in Bath.

"I had a good response from everyone in the office and in the factory," Mrs Kaur said.

"I think some of them were expecting a lacey, see-through outfit. But it was good fun and I was pleased with the money that it raised," she said.

The fundraising was part of the regional event on October 19, Ted's Big Day Out, which has so far raised £47,506. The money is still flooding in from events.

Mrs Kaur was supported in her efforts by her husband, Lucky, daughters Jazz, 21, and Raj, 17, and son, Sand, 16.

"They were very proud of me and as pleased as I was that so much money was raised.
