Did it tonight, as did my 10 year old daughter who unfortunately can't hold as heavier bucket as I can!!!! However, bucked the trend and donated to mind.org.uk.
Have you done the ice bucket yet?

It's nothing to do with being a scrooge. Many people including me give generously to various charities every year, but don't feel the need to shout about it ...

Also there are a couple of key items required that most people can't seem to get ... To do this 'challenge' ... and I use this word loosely, you need the following:
1. A bucket of water containing a reasonable volume of water– a washing up bowl just won’t do!
2. Cold water containing more than 2 ice cubes – lukewarm water just won’t cut it!
A washing up bowl full of lukewarm water with 2 ice cubes isn’t much of an achievement is it? Certainly not worth filming and posting on FB in my opinion! It you’re going to go to the effort of doing this at least do it properly!
Rant over!

It's Middle England's equivalent of the Bubonic Plague -you can see it creeping ever closer until everyone is affected. The wife got nominated today and so that'll then be me getting soaked on Friday

It won't be long before anyone who refuses the challenge will be handed a white feather for cowardice.

Harmless fun. I won't be doing it though and my friends know not to bother asking me. I do practical, hands on charity work as I believe in giving to those in need even if it's serving them dinner or helping paint a hall. What I will never do is give money towards some CEO's inflated salary or pay for some student who thinks because she's got nice wobblers and a dream to go skydiving or go for a beano up some mountain in foreign climes we should all dig deep so she can post it on FB and put a proud smile on her parents face, parents who could pay thrice over for her jolly without involving every yin yan in the known world.
I do give cash money to MacMillan though. I'd split my last quid with that beautiful bunch of people.

Get a mate with a better phone to film it playing on your phone screens then post that video? Quality may be a little compromised but better than nowt.

I did indeed! I am in an unusually nice mood today and my original one seemed rather stroppy. And thanks for the cure, I went for tea and a soft boiled egg with soldiers to be kind to my tummy.

Thanks! Genuine soldiers too. I have a novelty army tank eggcup with a plastic thing that cuts out toast into little army soldiers with rifles. There is even a little green woolen army helmet to pop on the egg to keep it warm. A present from my brother who lives to buy such things for people.
