Kat and Rach were up at 4am to run our fundraising stall. From 5.30am to 1.30pm we ran our stall, which had a coin water drop, guess the number of sweets in the jar, sponsorship forms and free painting for children.
We raised no money at all before 8am, even though we were singing, dancing, acting and guiding lost car booters. Our first customer happened to be a man who is 'living in the 1930s' himself. He told us his house was decorated 1930s-style and that he drove a 1930s car. We were rather impressed.
In total, after a lot of begging, we raised about £21. The actual total will be announced when we find all the loose change we were given. Until 11am we only had £2.70, so we are very glad of the last-minute surge of support.
This is what our stall looked like at 5.30am. Kat painted the signs for us (there were entry forms for sponsors, and more signs were on the table to explain pricing). We did rearrange the stall after this, and Rachel did remove her camera bag. The whiteboard showed a list of challenges that we had been set.
We are also very impressed by the artwork that was painted whilst we were running our stall. A few children took part in our free painting sessions, and some had their photos taken for our blog.
If anyone wants their paintings, just email us: rachelkdell@gmail.com and put 'Big Declutter paintings' in the subject. We'll give you an address where you can send a stamp addressed envelope and have the paintings posted to you. The paintings left behind are below.
Due to the low amount of money raised today the 'guess the number of sweets' competition is still open until next Sunday evening. It is 20p a turn, or 3 for 50p. You can donate via our donations page: http://www.justgiving.com/the1930schallenge
Thank you all for your support.
