Hi there,
I don't want to be one of those annoying people, but I have just signed up to the British Heart Foundation's Dechox event which is running March 2018. The idea is to give up all things chocolatey for the whole of March and raise money for people affected by heart conditions etc.
My Grandad was one of those people, he died when I was 10 (in 2007) and there's not a day where I don't think of him (he would have loved my coin collection!!!). Maybe we can save more Grandads if we can research more into Heart Problems.

Here is my Just Giving Page if you would like to donate, or get involed yourself, all the info can be found on the charity's website!

Thank you and Happy Friday!
I'm sorry about the loss of your grandfather...

Over a week of no chocolate, my easter egg will be so much sweeter! Thank you to all and any who have donated and who might in the future xxx
I always give up such foods for a month and a bit anyway due to my faith but this is a great way to raise money alongside, your Grandfather would be a proud man.

Thank you very much :) I do hope so!

Still no chocolate, staring at my easter eggs lol :) But I am powering on and I can live without it!!
Getting more and more difficult. Stress from Uni work and visiting the doctor as my body decides to throw a tantrum recently and have problem after problem.

Only 7 more Days to go!! I will push through!

True, good luck!

People have already started giving me eggs, they'll have to be happy in the cupboards for now,
Ready for Easter morning.​

But I won't give in and I will not touch them until April, want to raise as much money as possible for the charity and not let those fantastic people who have already donated down.
I rather give you 5 quid like that than over that peculiar website. Depending on my mood I am maybe next month in London and could post it to you.

Hi! Thats very kind of you!
Although using the website actually allows your money to be sent directly to the charity, no middle man and is a safe way to do it xxx
One more day to go...

That's right, I'm 90% to my target on Just-Giving :) xx

Be great when I can relax with some chocolate, and sleep more. and not have to worry about dissertation or studies or research or write ups or anything...
Just started my Easter egg,:love:

Congratulations for raising £135!:8D
