You would be paying well over the odds for my 1934 coins as I only have a single 1934 threepence. 

Well, it would be for a great cause  Sadly that one I already got. I look for 1934 pieces to give to a great aunt for her 85th birthday and that one is in it. 

I'll tell you this! I will return tomorrow evening after a funeral. I gather I would need cheering up as it's a very good friends unborn baby we're burying, very sad, and if there is some amount left I will pitch in the rest to 700, coin or no coin  That I promise! Give something towards someone elses life, as we took farewell of another. Would be fitting

Hi guys I'm currently going through the list of donors now to create a list with a number for each person. 

There are a few that have donated but not used their TSF username when donating. 

Could anyone that thinks that they might have made such a donation please send me a message by midday tomorrow. 

I don't want to leave anyone out of the draw please get in touch. 

Thank you all

@Wackattak924 Thanks for doing this in support of such a great cause and congratulations on reaching and surpassing your goal. Well done to all on TSF who kindly contributed.

Sorry I didn’t take part in this fund raiser.

Gift Aid is a brilliant way of raising funds as the government refunds the 20% tax paid by contributors to the charity.

With gift aid and electrician friends on internet sites I raised £700 for Macmillan Nursing at the cost of my beard.

The £700 beard 😀. Macmillan is a brilliant cause, they helped my family a lot both while my cousin had cancer and the support they provided after he passed away was great. Well done 👍

 

You made a good point about gift aid. I hadn't posted the amount raised including gift aid so

It totalled an extra £55 so total raised was £865

Thanks guys. This really shows what a great bunch you find on the silver forum 👍

Thanks for the reminder mate lol 😱.

Yeah the training has gone well and has now slowed down to 6 miles a day at a fair pace. I don't need to pick up any niggles now so close. The boots are nice and worn and considering they have done a few thousand miles they are in great shape and far more comfortable than when new 👍.

[Oldun]

Spot on. Don't forget to have a second pair somewhat worn in or well worn in in case your preferred ones fall apart or start to change shape and hurt. Footcare is without doubt (socks included) the single most important consideration. Good luck

For space saving I have a pair of underarmour running shoes in my pack just incase the boots give out.  Also 4 pairs of liners and 4 pairs of regatta all weather socks that I will change as needed. 

It's all mental preparation now 🤪 lol.

[Oldun]

I went out and bought a large power bank. Hopefully it will keep me in audio books and motivational messages for the whole duration.
