Challenge 12# - show me your moves!

Oh I'm nervous about this one! Whereas everyone else is decidedly smug. The challenge is to perform a 60 second dance routine...with my dog. Missy is cute, cuddly and lazy. She is no Pudsey. The challenger Sophie knows this so I'm sure this makes it all the more entertaining.

Sophie's first stipulation was that it had to include 3 tricks and only one could be sit/lay down. Now Missy on occasion sits on command, she has never laid down on command. When we took her to puppy training she won a 'special award'. This was largely for being cute and hiding under the benches from the other dogs.

Her second stipulation was matching outfits...

So I'll keep you posted on my progress and if you want a laugh you know the deal - www.justgiving.com/30before30sense

Challenge 11# - Winster Map

This is a really interesting and enjoyable challenge for me, kindly suggested by two lovely friends from the village I grew up in - Cynthia and Wendy.

The Challenge

Identify all properties in Winster & produce a map that is available, day and night, to anyone to assist with swift and easy location of any Winster address.

Background

Winster is a village where many properties are known by name only & those that have a number are not conventionally identified i.e. odd numbers on one side of a road & evens on the other side. Emergency services such as ambulances, doctors, nurses, gas, electricity & water, where a minute lost is critical in saving lives, can be delayed particularly at night time. Also with many of us ordering goods via the internet there is a huge increase in delivery vehicles patrolling the village trying to locate properties.

Our shop has a steady stream of people (delivery drivers, holiday cottage renters & visitors) asking for locations, as is the case when we villagers are often approached in the street for assistance. 

This challenge is doubly important to me as it is lovely to be raising money whilst also providing a valauble service. We are hoping to gain sponsorship from other properties in the village so if anyone would like to find out more please contact me directly on rachbuckley30@gmail.com.

Challenge 10# - Epic Walk

I love walking with my friend Scarlett and the dogs so my initial reaction to this challenge was a big smile at something easy. Then she mentioned the walk was to Sheffield and I realised I was facing much more like a marathon than a quiet stroll with the pups. My next thought was there was no way my little King Charles Cavalier could walk that far (followed by a niggling voice as to whether I could!)

But Scarlett is doing it with me and this is a girl who did a 5 hour spin challenge for charity so I don't doubt her willpower and that she'll keep me going!

If you would like to be involved we would love company and the more people to get sponsored the better.

More details to follow when we know the date and route.
