Sponsored Silence- COMPLETE!

Hey guys!

So I can cross off the 24 hour sponsored silence for Children in Need off the 100 Charities Challenge! I did it yesterday (11/11/2012) and my God it was hard! Seriously. I started off okay but then when it came to your everyday communication, it was pretty tough. And when things fell on me from a shelf, my God it was hard to not curse or speak or anything! I just had to exhale deeply and try not to lose my rag. There were times where I almost slipped up, but I didn't!

If you didn't sponsor me, you still can! Just visit this link or text SHHH55 £1 to 70070. My dear friend, Jess, will be doing it this Thursday and we're sharing the same sponsor page so you're getting 2 for the price of 1 here, people!

If  you're going to do a sponsored silence, here are my tips for you:-

• Notify people that you're going to/are doing it- I was outside my gran's flat, waiting for her to come back from the shop and her neighbor passed me and tried talking to me... yeah... I tried pointing to my Children in Need t-shirt and miming to her, but it didn't work. Thankfully, my gran came back and told her what I was doing.

• Get Pen & Paper/ whiteboard & pen- It's hard communicating without your voice and I didn't have either of these things because I just forgot. They are always useful.

• Advertise what you're doing- Pretty obvious, if you ask me. Don't feel too shy, either. You really need to push yourself. Be it on a social networking site, on your blog, posters in your school/college/workplace, notice in your window- BE HEARD. 

So yeah, that's pretty much it! Thanks to all who supported and sponsored me!

Charity update!

So, I've sorted out a few things for next year!

• Dress as Minnie Mouse for the Day- This will more than likely happen in college so that includes, travel, classes, etc. and it's going to be SO weird but still fun at the same time! If the college say no, then I'll have to do it on a day I'm going out on. I'm doing this in April so I have enough time to be able to hit my target! Sponsor me here. This is in aid of The Joshua Foundation/

• Dye my hair purple- This is going to be like soon after I do the Minnie Mouse thing. I'm not going to dye all of my hair (you will see why in a moment) but I'm doing it in aid of Cardiff's Women Aid to raise awareness of Domestic Violence. Sponsor me here!

• Donating my hair- Not all of it! But this is the reason I can't dye all of my hair. You see, they are unable to accept bleached hair and I have to bleach my hair for purple hair, but yeah, I'm donating aprox. 7inches of my hair which won't be dyed. It's kind of like multitasking for my hair! This is in aid of Little Princesses Wig Charity. This is not going to be raising money, but just donating my hair for the charity to make wigs for kids in need of them.

So yeah! That's a little update! It'd be so amazing if you could share this blog wherever possible for people to see what I'm doing and possibly donate! 

Thanks so much!
