Hello All,
As you may remember , I am terrified of heights
And so, I am going to squeeze my fat arse into a sleeping bag and I am going to launch myself
Over the Bethesda Quarry on the Velocity 2 zip line
On September 26th
I am doing this for Charity namely
The Rhyl Samaritans,
Of which I am deputy director for Caller Care
Please sponsor me
Give what you can! The money will go directly to our centre and will be used to support the
Service we give our callers
Donation page
I am zipping with fellow villager Ann Maltoff who will be doing her jump
In support of Alzheimer's Charity
I will publish her charity link tomorrow
Thank you Dearhearts Irene and Pat! The first donations are coming in thank u xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Helen xx

DeleteThere is no shame in being skint, Tom. It happens. Only yesterday did I consider asking John for a fiver (my problem largely that of cash flow). That comes from still being in recovery after 2008/9.
DeleteU
Thank u, Dot, sunshine Lou , anonymous and Curvy witch xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteJohn, What is gift aid? Thanks
ReplyDeleteGot it. Answer in FAQ. Sorry can't do that as I live in the US
DeleteI saw your donation dear, dearheart .....thank you x
DeleteSorry I couldn't do gift aid, I don't earn enough to pay tax.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, sorry it's not more but I hope you get a real confidence boost from doing this.
ReplyDeleteExcited for you John!
ReplyDeleteI hope you’ll enjoy the entire experience!
Sorry John. I tried valiantly, but it made me jump through hoops that were higher than I could manage.
ReplyDeleteGreat cause - and I hope that despite your fear you have fun.
Have donated without any problem , well done that man in the brown underpants xx
ReplyDeleteCrikey John, you are a brave man indeed:) xxxx
ReplyDeleteTake some clean underpants!
ReplyDeletedonated! :)
ReplyDeleteSure, I'll donate. Have you checked the Ph of the water in said? The heavy metal content? The weight limit (apologies) on the zip line? etc....I consider zip lining to be like skydiving......why jump out of a perfectly fine aircraft??
ReplyDeleteWHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! SPLAT!... Waah-waah-waah-waah! Arrgh! Arrgh!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Donated already
Please wear a camera on your head, so we can see what you see, and hear your running commentary.
ReplyDeletePardon my lack of sophistication as I say .... Happy to donate, but having difficulty understanding the currency exchange. Inasmuch as I might be donating 30 thousand dollars I do not have, need to know about that highlighted red 30 with a funny little symbol, i.e., what is that in American money.
ReplyDeleteWow very generous 38 dollars! Xxxxx
DeleteI go to the cinema to see a crap film with my sister and over 500£ raised. So far how bloody wonderful are you all
ReplyDeleteSo to Irene, Caz, David, Liz, Kristi , Jane, sue p, AM, Andrew, YP, Linda, val, vee, debbie, Athene, debbie, carla, Julie, lynne, shelagh, Jacquline , lynne Jayne and a dear dear secret donators thank you so very much xxxx
Bloody hell, perhaps Ursula et al were right....I could finance a book this way lol....
ReplyDeleteThank you Wilma, sue H xx, hillbean Myra you are all stars
As are the two anons
Xxx
Of course Ursula was right. Isn't she always? But you don't need to "finance" a book these days. Costs zero to do it by self publishing through good outlets such as CreateSpace and put it on Amazon & Kindle etc in print and online versions, and then your royalties would flow. Or of course you could approach traditional publishers. I have done it both ways several times. Happy to advise if you wish. But on the other hand, if you are happy with a blog you should maybe stick with a blog. I suggest doing what you want not what others want may be a good rule for the future.
DeleteYes, wise words Andrew.
DeleteFeel the Love :-)
ReplyDeleteBraver than I!
ReplyDeleteBut for a good cause. Happy Flying, John.
Jimbo, you star xxx
DeleteGoin got on 700 £ ! I'm speechless
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be great to raise 1000£ and match the donation given by the Trelawnyd Flower Show ....
Wear the appropriate undergarments for your trip! Good luck.
ReplyDeleteKate Lori, lynne

DeleteIt feels my email address is not valid :(
ReplyDeleteI donated early this morning when it was at "0" but I can't find my donation will try again.
ReplyDeletefourth try worked !
DeleteYou have my admiration, my best wishes, and now my small but heartfelt donation to your cause. You've raised £955 so far! I, too, am terrified of heights, and so will enjoy your zip-line adventure vicariously.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone from Canada know if our banks charge a fee for currency conversion??
ReplyDeleteScotiabank charges "A fee of 2.5% of the converted amount, applied to both debit and credit transactions." I donated anyway.
DeleteThank you, Ginger. That's quite a reasonable fee.
DeleteJenny my bank charges the same. So reasonable is right.
DeleteDone John! :-)
ReplyDeleteDone and dusted, JayGee. 'Twould have been perverse and wrong to have offered anything less than I spend on cinema tickets in an average-good week. Still wish it could have been more, though.
ReplyDeleteThank Goodness for The Samaritans
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing all about it! Good Luck and well done on the amazing total - so far! x
ReplyDeleteI am happy to donate to charity but don't do it online. If you email me your address I will put it in the post to you. xxx
