Well when I got up this morning I wasn't really thinking about my challenges. Plan was to wrap up warm and then off to Fylde to watch FC. And that's what I did. The result didn't go the way I wanted (we lost 4-2) but it was a good day and I managed to make progress with a few of my challenges.
I've found three Daves today!!!!! I've really struggled with my Dave challenge and up until today had only managed to hae my photo taken with one. I really didn't think it would be so difficult as everyone knows somebody called Dave - or so they say. Apparently they don't :-( Or at least not a Dave that's in the same place as me, at the same time, with somebody about to take a picture. I've seen one of today's Dave's a few times since I sarted my challenges but at times when I couldn't get a photo, I always kind of knew I was going to get that one though. The other two Dave's I only met for the first time today but as Dave's have been much more difficult to find I wasn't letting the opportunity pass. I think they think I'm crazy but at least they agreed.
The other challenge I've made progress with today is raising £1001 for charity. I've signed up for the FC United Minithon which is a 5k run to raise money for The Ace Centre North, a charity that helps people with communication difficulties. Sponsorship has started coming in through my just giving page and I'm up to £45 now. Still £956 to go but I've made a good start.
I've got plenty of other plans to raise money. I'm not sure what's happening with my Macmillan coffee morning as I'm struggling to find a room to hire for it. My house is too small and with Dexter dog as well its just not going to work so I need to think of something else. In the meantime I'm selling tickets for their autumn raffle - £1 a ticket for the chance to win £10,000. Give me a shout if you want one!!
Other plans to raise money include sponsored swims, more running, making stuff, selling stuff and whatever else I can think of. If you've got any ideas I'd love to hear them
