Happy Daffodil Day

Hi all.

I want to thank everyone for their support.❤️

Did the big dip today at Seaford in a Tutu with wings. 💛

Still will be dipping for the rest of August 😁 

Don't forget to donate. I haves received some cash donations that I will be adding soon.

Monday 18th Aug

10 dips done 🎉✌️

The sun finally came out and I was able to get back to the beach to do a dip.🌅🌊

I have reached my initial 10 dip goal 🎉✌️

So I have now updated it to 15 dips.🙂

Cheer me on and donate what you can.

Saturday 16th Aug

Back on board.

The cold and flu season always likes to wreck our fun. But I'm back and ready to go.

Dip today was a quick one. Just easing myself in to make sure I take care of my health.

I also have nearly reached my dip goal with 9/10 dips. I will be doing more. Especially on Daffodil Day. 

Thinking of wearing a yellow  tutu? 

Start donating now and I will do it.

Hot and Cold 🔥😅

Sorry I have not posted for a bit. 

The Cold 😷

After the dip I did on Friday I started to get cold symptoms including sneezing and a sore throat. Don't worry I took a test and it's not COVID. Been mindful of my health, I decided not to do any dips until I was better.

The Hot 🔥 

No dips while I'm sick?  That is until I accidentally tip  boiling hot rice on my chest right off the stove. After screaming in pain. I ended up in the cold shower to soothe my burns. 🔥🤕⛑️🚿So I actually did do a dip on Sunday. But it was not planned.

As always thank you to my donors so far. I am grateful for your support.

Swimming in a Pool

Today was a chance to do something different.

I took my daughter to the local pool for a swim.🏊It was good to get some exercise in.

I did find a cold pool to jump in too.🥶

Wednesday 6th Aug

Splish Splash.

Sorry I did not post an update yesterday 😔 

I did do my dip at Seaford beach🌊But I  was distracted when I got home.  Such is life.🤷‍♀️

Today the weather was not the best and I was busy all morning. So instead of going to swim at the beach. I had a cold shower while my little daughter threw buckets of cold water on me. 🪣

She thought this was very funny. 😅😂

Monday 4th Aug

That Stings!

Dip 3 done with difficulty.

I obtained a splinter in my hand ✋ and it has not come out.  

First aid may be required to remove it.⛑️

All l can tell you is it stings like a needle 💉 especially when wet.🌊

Special shoutout to my donors so far.  My loving husband Nathan and my awesome mother in law Bernadette.

Saturday 2nd Aug

Sunset Swims

Dip 2 done with a lovely sunset at the beach. 🌅🏊

While I was getting wet and cold. My little daughter decided to make use of her time by building a sandcastle with her daddy ⛱️🏰🪣

Friday 1st Aug

Day 1 Dip1

Yay. August is finally here. 

After a few wardrobe issues with my swimsuit, I went down to Seaford beach and completed my first dip. Fortunately the sun was shining and the tide was out. ☀️🌊

The water however was freezing 🥶 I had to have a hot chocolate ☕ afterwards and I still can not feel my toes 😂

Wednesday 18th Jun

I've got mail

Today I received my swimming cap in the mail. This year I got in early and got the one with flowers on it.  However it looks like I will still be using the plain yellow cap as my daughter stole the flower one as soon as it arrived 😂

Monday 26th May

Let's get cold.

Ready to do my second year of cold dips. This year I have access to some pools with cold plunges. This will come in handy if the weather at the beach is too dangerous. I will endeavour to do beach dips where possible.

Thank you to our Supporters
