40 Hour Famine Almost Here

Not long to go! We start tomorrow... Have you made your donation yet?

I think it's time for me to lay down our rules of what we can and can't use during the weekend, this isn't going to be easy!

What we're giving up:

Electric Lights
Lamps
T.V.
DVD
Home Theatre
iPod
Laptop
Computer Games
Internet, social media, facebook, twitter
Printers
Laminators
Iron
Kettle
Microwave
Popcorn Maker
Blender
Slow Cooker
Hairdryer
Washing Machine

Hot Water from the tap
Vacuum Cleaner
Basically anything that uses electricity
PLUS
The Car

Exceptions

My phone - to take photos of our experience and update to the blog via email
My phone - for calls in case of emergency only
Oven - as it would be dangerous to light a fire in the middle of the loungeroom
Fridge - as it would be totally against the concept to waste all that food
Torches - to enable noctournal toilet visits as it would be unsafe with bunk beds etc
Aquaruim filter - dead fish, nuff said!

I pick the boys up tomorrow afternoon and we'll be doing our food shopping, then home for a last hot bath/shower and to start prep for some of our interesting activities. TBA.

Also, it's not too late to register to to the famine yourself. If you do, be sure to put our username holmesperrim into the "who referred you" box. We'd love to know if we inspired anyone else to join in!

If not, please share this via facebook (or whatever you use) so we can raise as much as possible for this great cause.http://40hf.com/holmesperrim
