Well, after much soul searching and consideration of the discomfort involved, I finally decided to register for the #sleepwithsimon event on the 29th of September.

Almost as soon as I hit the button which finalised this I was having doubts, me, at 51, sleeping rough.

But then I thought of the people this will be helping, one night of my discomfort is nothing to what they cope with every day. Hopefully I will raise towards the charity to help support them.
