10 days and counting

It's encouraging that I'm getting loads of sponsors, friends nobble me in Somerfield and pay me cash, so I hurriedly return home and store it away and fill out the sponsor with their name as I forgot to take it with me. Some of the pupils have now discovered that I'm doing this stunt, they smirk at me in their usual way but I'm reassured because my spotty bandana from Children In Need has arrived and I can hide my bald noggin from the world while in school.

Claire from the Glasgow office of C.I.N phoned me on my mobile so I chatted with her about why I was doing it, what prompted me and how much I'd raised so far. I'm not altogether sure how much I've raised exactly, but it is in the region of £50 which is not bad for a few days. I've still to nobble my parents and sister, as I've been up a few times and still not got them to sign the form. I've to go into town this week and sort out a few extra things, like the poster in the town somewhere, perhaps the Annandale Herald office promoting the event, how much will that cost me?

I've decided I will contact the local radio station in Dumfries and Border News, well it all helps the charity doesn't it? I've not had much response for my actions from FaceBook and I have still to post off the letter to David Tennant in Stratford to see what encouragement he would offer me - if any?

I've also notified Children In Need website, so that should be up shortly, might check that out before I come off the internet and study like I'm meant to do.

But I'm now not as stressed out as before, I'm convinced now my hair won't fall out before the 14th so I'll not need to send back the money to everyone. A few more sponsors to get though, perhaps the Newspaper office, I do still need to get them to photograph me before the shot next friday. Oh god, NEXT FRIDAY!!!!!
