Great work you and your lad have done, but you nearly got me a telling off from the missus!

She spied the bank statement, and saw an amount to Derby City Mission on there.

She instantly assumed I'd contributed to a new phoenix club, and rang angrily to ask wtf was I thinking! 

 

Next year I'll raise money for Bubbles Food Bank, then you'll have no problems

I have 77p left for the rest of today. 

Any suggestions?

Enjoy your lunch today, Sage! It's well deserved. Well done!

£1,000 would have been great but £600 will buy a lot of food and mean that many families won't have to go to bed hungry.

What matters most is that you saw people who were in need and did something about it.

 

[sage]

Well we did it. 

It wasn't easy but managed to get lucky with some late shopping. I probably ended up having more sugary stuff than normal, as its junk food and bread that are most often reduced. 

Ive discovered a new recipe (potato hash) to add to my reportoire, now up to 8 different meals I can cook. 

The worst parts of it all were only drinking water and being socially constricted when out and about. The interesting part was how it takes over your thinking as you have to plan, shop and prepare more. Whilst I enjoyed the challenge of that for a week, I can imagine you would tire of this if it was your life. 

So far we've raised around £600 which to be honest, I'm disappointed with. The appeal will stay open until the end of the season. I'm probably on Radio Derby again tomorrow, around 6. 25pm.

Thanks to all those who contributed and if you havent got round to it yet, the link is below.
