    Wow, really inspired me :) I just said to hubby that I could do a 24 hour sponsored silence to raise money for them....he laughed and said no chance, I can't even keep u quiet for 5 minutes! I think I have been challenged....will ask my colleagues opinion in work tomorrow ...... Watch this spot, lol ;)

    Well.....I forsee a large donation coming from your OH.....
    Such a challenge couldn't be denied.
    Sophie did a 48 hr sponsored silence AT SCHOOL - so if she can do it, so can you!
    Let us know ;D

    No chance I could do a sponsored silence! ;D

    Although, I always think sponsored "something useful" are more appealing. Sponsored beach cleaning, sandwich making for homeless people, knit squares...

    My OH would probably pay through the nose if I did a sponsored silence!

    ;D ;D ;D

    It would certainly be a challenge for me ::)

    I help run a 'Dreamscheme' which is where I get children (aged 8-16) doing work in the local community such as litter picking, making bird boxes for the parks, doing tea and cakes in a retirement home, free car washes etc etc. in exchange they get to do rewards such as horse riding, swimming, cinema, pizza and film night. For each hour they work the get 10 points.....for pizza and film they need 30 points, for something like horse riding it's more like 150 points. We get local businesses (and national) to help with the cost of the rewards.

    Because of this and the type of work I do, it will be very very challenging for me to keep quiet (plus, I'm a big loud naturally ::) )
