    Hey you lovely lot

    On Fri 4th March, I'm planning on sleeping out in Bristol grounds to raise awareness for the homeless and raise money towards my charities work in Bristol which supports ex-offenders, women wishing to exit the sex industry and former service personnel leaving the services.

    If you can afford even just a couple of pounds, it will all help us to support some of the most marginalised individuals in society to improve their quality of life. Many are homeless when they come to us and have real experiences of the brutality of life on the streets for prolonged periods of time in all weathers.

    You can pay online at

    Many thanks

    I'd offer to sleep out with you and keep you company but I'm on night shift then, so my donation will be on it's way in the next few days.

    Just put my mind at rest tho, you won't be on your own on the night will you??? :-?

    And no, not alone - although having done it last year I wish I was! Got bedded down between 2 male colleagues, 1 of which had the audacity to accuse ME of snoring in the morning!! ;D It was the one the other side of me! I never slept a wink!! Taking my i-pod this year! ;D Which I know doesn't really fit with the whole homeless thing but needs must.... That and some alcohol (which does fit!)

    I wish I wasn't working as I'd come and join you.
    Hope you have a good night and a safe one!
