Hi everyone!

Inspired by the January 'Dryathlon' run by other charities, I have decided to take up the 'no alcohol for a month' challenge in aid of one of the animal welfare charities that I support - The Blue Cross.

Those of you who know me will be aware of my fondness for wine, cider & a good real ale, so this challenge is no mean feat for me - please help me raise enough funds to reach my target and make my challenge worthwhile!!  The Blue Cross is especially in need of help after Christmas with the inevitable rise in abandoned pets, so thank you so much for anything that you can give.

It's really safe & easy to use JustGiving - read on for more info...

"Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now."

Thanks everyone! 

Time for a nice cup of tea!
