DWED2 - Back in the Bath!

[Northerner]

Hi folks, some of you will remember the trauma and pain I endured this time last year in aid of DWED (Diabetics With Eating Disorders). For those of you who don't or have blocked the image from your mind, here's a reminder:

Now, obviously I have no intention of wearing such a ridiculous outfit again, BUT...I may be induced to wear something even more outrageous if I meet my sponsorship target before February is out 😱

I would normally choose a different charity to support with each new event, but I think that DWED is such an important charity that I couldn't think of any more deserving. I have been following the huge progress they have been making over the past year in raising awareness and supporting those who are struggling, despite very limited resources, so if you want to see an old man make a fool of himself (again!), then stump up the cash!

I'll be starting my training blog tomorrow, which may offer some clues as to who will be replacing the Diabetes Fairy of yesteryear...

Thank you very much Amanda! I do have something in mind, but only if the price is right! 😱

Seriously just waiting for some money to hit my bank account then I will be onto it. Should be Tuesday all being well. Please keep bumping it up to remind me. Memory like a sieve these days!

Trust you have taken on board issues with chaffing last year when wearing a dress when at the drawing board with this new design! Will await the unveiling with interest

Thanks Tina 🙂 I think I've learned my lessons from last year, although I do expect a certain degree of discomfort! 😱

Please don't say you're wearing a 'mankini' - the weather in March won't be kind...

Wouldn't want to be mobbed by all the ladies! 😉 😱

We want to see the outfit as soon as your sponsorship target has been achieved.......and to help it on its way Susie has donated her bone allowance for the year (we'll forget the fact that now she doesn't have many teeth she can't eat bones!!!!)

Thanks Susie! And Amanda for typing it in, I know Susie has problems with keyboards!

Oh dear, looks like I might have to go through with it! 😱

Enjoyed reading your first training blog post Alan - I've managed a few outdoor runs in the last couple of weeks too (both on unexpectedly sunny days).

Look forward to seeing what you'll be wearing on the day. I suspect I may chicken out of the whole costume thing as it's my first time 😱

Looks like you are proceeding nicely toward your target.

Cheers Mike - you may not wish to be seen with me is all I'm saying! 😱 😉 Good to hear your training is going well! 🙂

Just done my little bit. Getting ever closer to the grand unveiling. Come on chaps, we need to do it.

Maybe it's stockings and suspenders this year Alan, oh and maybe a bra too???

Then we have to start working on Mike........

Thank you Tina! 🙂

Thank you Tina! 🙂

I think green hair might be a little more fetching this year!

 

[Tina63]
