We’ve already manage to beat our target of £200, but any more donations would be very gratefully received! You can donate online here: http://www.justgiving.com/danbishop1 Or, in person, by giving cash/cheques to myself, Claire, or Fiona.

To all those who have already donated, thank you! So far we’ve raised a massive £256.96 with some more promised! Particular thanks to Claire and Fiona for actually making this happen (though please don’t be fooled into thinking I won’t get revenge in some form).

Many of you stipulated that in exchange for a donation, I had to provide pictures/videos… so here they are: enjoy!

Fiona and myself saw this as the perfect opportunity to purchase 110m of tin foil and cover every book, bottle, brush, comb, laptop, desk tidy, pen, picture, whiteboard, etc. in Claire’s room… The result can be seen here:
