Sorry for the tardy update. I fully intended to write these up as separate weeks, but somehow time keeps on slipping by while Iโve been busy doing other things. Week nine turned into awesome week, whereas week ten mostly consisted of me procrastinating. Week nine was more than a little bit hectic. The early part…
Itโs been another interesting week in the life of Phill. Well, itโs been interesting for me anyway. Monday was great. The Corner House confirmed a booking for a gig on the 23rd March. Some really fantastic people confirmed that they would be playing the gig, so out of nowhere I went from having nothing really…
Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later, my knee was always going to give out on me at some point. I had hoped it would wait until after I had completed my crazy running challenges, but no such luck. On the bright side, Iโve only minorly buggered it. I reckon Iโll be able…
Gosh itโs been a hard week, and Iโm not entirely sure that Iโve done a lot. Itโs been a bit of an up and down week really. It’s mostly consisted or running, disorganising and cake. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about cake, a little bit of making cake and far too much eating…
So this it, over the last week Iโve finally started taking donations. I haven’t opened the donation tin yet, I’m a bit worried about how little is in there, and also it seems people are quicker to donate to a tin that already has change rattling around in it than one which is empty, so…
I am now thirteen hours into my 24 hour fast. I’m starting to feel hungry, but it’s great to be getting the first stupid challenge under way. This week has been a bit slow. It started okay, on Saturday I did my first ever full marathon distance run. It was nice to know that I…
Oh what a week that was. I really feel like I’ve made progress this week. Things are starting to come together nicely. I’ve still not raised any actual money yet, but things are coming together nonetheless. The website is starting to take shape and some of the challenges and events I want to organise are…
Woohoo! I’ve found a local charity to raise money for. It’s called Little Miracles and they are a support group and charity for children that have autism, additional needs, disabilities and life limiting conditions. They’re based up in Ely and they reach out to Cambridge, Newmarket and surrounding villages too, so they are very much…
I don’t really feel that I have made a lot of progress towards raising ยฃ10,000 this week. I suppose part of that is down to it being the first week back at work after Christmas. I don’t feel as though I’ve done enough at work either. I more feel like I’ve got a head filled…
Oh dear. It’s Friday afternoon on January 1st and I woke up this morning with a little bit of a hangover. The hangover is the least of my worries. At around 4pm on December 31st I decided and rather publicly declared that I would spend a year trying raise ยฃ10,000 for charity. It seemed like…
