Today I held a 'Coffee for Charlotte' day at my house. It's not a very big house but the children and childminders and other friends really didn't seem to mind that they were all squished in - especially as we kept the tea and coffee coming and plied them with homemade cakes. Neither did they mind when my over-zealous three year old rattled a dinosaur money box in their faces the second they walked in the door - before giving them a chance to remove their coats! Anya was a master money-collector and we managed to raise £60. It's a drop in the ocean compared to what we need to raise but as the annoying Tesco advert says, every little helps!
I was so grateful to everyone who came and to those who couldn't make it who donated money anyway. Once again I am amazed by the generosity of people when I've already asked them to dig deep for my slimathon.
You will be pleased to know that cake did not pass my lips this morning - I was all baked out from making lemon drizzle, banana loaf, ginger and chocolate cakes that the mere thought made me feel ill. I was a little disappointed with weigh in this week as I stayed the same but it just means I need to work extra hard these next two weeks. I don't want to let anyone down with so much sponsorship riding on my weightloss.
