A Sponsored Mud Bath For CharityBy Lauren19x

I recently had a wonderful opportunity to get muddy at work again. We decided to raise some money for our chosen charity by rolling out a large container full of mud and having somebody get sponsored to get in it! I was really keen to take part so was delighted to be selected. The basic strategy was for me to get into the mud, fully clothed, as soon as £150 had been raised. Of course, this happened very easily! I'd deliberately worn clothes that would be fun and a little surprising to get muddy in, these events always have much more impact if the victim is well dressed. My chosen outfit was a white shirt, a smart pair of blue skinny jeans and a lovely, almost new, pair of black slip on shoes. I also wore black socks, with fun contrasting blue heels and toes.
As I approached the mud bath, I could see the crowd looking incredulous at the thought of me getting in it, looking as I did! It felt so naughty as I stepped over the side and put my feet into the ooze. I could feel mud seeping into the shoes and soaking my socks. It felt lovely! As I tried to walk my shoes were suctioned off my feet by the squelchy mud, and the crowd gasped as I stood on one leg, my raised foot showing of my lovely black and blue sock, with the shoe long gone! I heard someone say "Eeeewwww, gross!" as I stepped, with a squelch, into the deep gooey mud with just socks on my feet. I decided to forget about my shoes, they were buried in the thickest part! A cheer went up as I dropped to my knees and grabbed handfuls of mud. I rubbed it into my hair! Then I rolled around in it making sure every square inch of me was caked.
What a fantastic day at work!
