Chocolate Blog....and the Sleepwalk

So today is 1st October - until tea time today, I had eaten no chocolate whatsoever since 31st August!!  If you haven't read or heard about my chocolate fast, in brief, I pledged to stop eating chocolate for a month as an additional challenge to a fundraising event I signed up to take part in - the Sleepwalk in aid of The Children's Trust.

The Sleepwalk took place last Saturday evening - I went along with one of my school mum friends, and we set off on our 10 mile walk at 10pm.  The walk started in Priory Park in Reigate, Surrey and then carried on around the town before ending again within the park.  Only on the morning of the walk had my husband said to me 'isn't Reigate quite hilly?' - well, the answer was yes!!  In fact, there are very few flat bits!  Anyway, a lovely walk around what looked in the dark to be a very lovely town - and I will definitely return in the light of day for another look.  We finished in 3 hours 10 minutes and were very pleased with our time - a quick cuppa and a donut later, we set off home for a well-deserved sleep!

I would like to thank my fabulous twitter sponsors who helped me raise an incredible £155 for the Children's Trust, who honestly change the lives of disabled and brain injured children:
