No Beer for Chappell - Half way update.

As some of you know, Mark Chappell is doing a series of sponsored events for TYSOC - Terminal Youth Sufferants Of Cancer.

Details of which can be found be clicking here, but heres a quick update of his first event - the sponsored sobriety test.

Thanks!! More Needed though!

Thanks to everybody who has donated cash or promised to donate, we are on a very healthy amount already thanks mainly to one person but my initial target of £1000 might end up being closer to £3000 by the end of the 4 events, or so im hoping anyway. if people still wish to donate then they can by sending money via paypal to chappell59@hotmail.com or by seeing me in person. any questions then just contact me.

a quick diary so far:

new years eve, as the countdown started i was downing my pint to make sure I finished it before midnight, i was then up until 4am drinking coke until we could get everyone out of the bar so we could finally go to bed.

new years day - i felt rough as f**k, could have done with a pint for 'hair of
the dog' but i resisted, came back to the pub ater the football and thats when
it kicked in how hard it would be, i had just witnessed another awful RUFC
display and i needed a nice cool pint to calm me down, a pint of coke wasnt
exactly what i had in mind but it would have to do.

3rd jan - millwall away - i had organised a minibus which departed from swinton at 8am, we returned at midnight and my god i needed a beer for :
a) the driver and his tactics for apparently getting us to a pub for 12
b) we had just won away for the 2nd time in a row

8th jan - yeovil - now i definitely needed a beer on this day, watching
rotherham under the influence is bad enough but having to watch them sober is awful. plus i had a night out to contend with and me refusing drinks (yes there is a first for everything) showed how committed i am

9th - arrived back at uni in leicester and all people want to do is go out,
after struggling on the night out around rotherham i decide to give the night
out a miss, my next one will be on jan 31st for a housemates birthday, and then as the clock strikes 12 ill be back drinking again.

15th - wigan - same old story, inept rotherham getting me angry again and so beer to calm me down. grrr.

16th - half way stage - seems like i have been doing this for 6 months already, football stressing me out, nites out alcohol and then exams. people say that stopping drinking will make you feel better but i can honestly say that i feel no different at all.

anyway, ill get back to my studying (or whatever it is we are supposed to do at uni) and ill report back on the 1st of feb
