The Sling: Day Four

Yippee!!!

While I slept last night, Kellen made the donation that sailed me past my target.  I was woken by the tinkling sound of money being dropped into a bowl (that’s what you get when you download JustGiving’s iPhone app!).  But there was never a better reason to be woken in the middle of the night.  A big thank you to Kellen (whose own recent slinging spree inspired me to tackle my own clutter).

So I’m celebrating today (hence the daffodils - I treat myself) and have been slinging with renewed vigour.  Raising £155 for Jessie’s Fund feels like a good way to spend the dark days of January.  But it doesn’t have to stop there.  If you feel like chipping in, there’s still time.

Amongst other things, I tackled piles of papers today.  How they accumulate!  But the recycling skip at the tip is now a lot richer for my clearing out.

Today’s thank you present goes to Abby Bullock.  Thanks, Ab, for backing me and Jessie’s Fund.   

And don’t forget, I’m still open to the best reason you can come up with (however outlandish) for slinging stuff.  There’s a prize to be had….so leave your wondrous wisdom or wit in the comments.
