We had been out for a meal that day, thanks to the SmarterCard, we got a cheaper meal at the Lion in Leavenheath. When there, the kids were taking about the Ice Bucket Challenge. They asked me who I would nominate, but I said that I doubted that I would be nominated for this. We got home, and after an interesting journey back and forth as my wife had left our keys at the restaurant and putting the kids to bed, FaceBook alerted me that I had been nominated. I have to say, seeing my friend get drenched by his kids was very amusing, but I thought that I might be able to hide this from my kids and get away with making a donation. But my wife, who did not tell them about my nomination, showed them the video of the nomination. Which meant that they then were very excited about the idea of soaking me. Well, today it was done. The money as you can see from the video goes to the Motor Neurone Disease Association. Macmillan have also used this to raise money, and lets face it, they are both great causes. I might get in trouble from those whom I have nominated myself, but lets see what happens. Anyway, the kids loved every moment of having an excuse to soak me. I suspect that they will be annoyed that this can only happen once. But they have this memory recorded now and my son has already watched it several times today!
