Diabetes Week
It is now the last day of Diabetes awareness week and I had completely forgotten about it until a copy of Balance arrived this morning. This time last year I did my temporary slaphead stunt but all I have been doing this time round is quietly saving loose change into a small box provided by them for the purpose a few months ago.
I had a shrewd idea how much was in it as I have “banked” coins at regular intervals converting coins to notes. (It also provided a temporary source of funds when Karen was caught out one day needing cash).
Anyway, a cheque for £45.77 is now on the way to them- and I have a large heap of bronze & silver for my Perks Coffee Shop money.
Perhaps I’ll save the two pence coins, for the penny falls in the arcade next time we go to Redcar.
I can see why you are not anxious to repeat last year’s fund raising effort for this worthy cause. I’d say that was pretty brave of you to do it.
