That's exactly what I had to do to Janet only a few minutes into our silence.
We both decided that the five hours would be a great time to get organised for next weeks dinner dance. Table cloths to iron, name card to write, favours to make etc etc.
We had a list as long as your arm of jobs to do, and the time just flew by. Janet, updated everyone on facebook and I texted friends and family who supported us with their kind words of encouragement.
Rosie made some delicious cakes, just in case we had a load of friends turn up to laugh at us. Luckily for us we didn't so that meant loads of lush cakes to eat. Well I never... Pina Colada mini cupcakes.. OMG they were fab. I ate at least a dozen. Yum Yum thanks to Rosie.
We watched Caroline Quentin's a Passage to India documentary, which just excited us more and four hours into our silence Doug turned up with Abbey and tried every which way to make us talk. However he failed and even when Joe and Ellen came they did not break our silence.
At 4.59 we watched the clock and Abbey gave us a count down from 10 to 0. We did it, and raised a few hundred Pound more for our good cause.
It wasn't actually that bad. Not talking was actually very therapeutic. I would do it again no problem.
Thanks to everyone who supported us.
