Training dates have been confirmed!

:D and there is a possibility I am going to be spending my 18th birthday on a train home from Scotland! Hopefully when we find out more info about training the ferry will get back early enough to be able to get the train on the same day, as 9 hours on a train on my birthday isn't very appealing (also Mum wants me home on my birthday as I will be in South Africa for Christmas and my 19th birthday) but I am very much looking forward to training, especially meeting the people i am going to be spending a year with!!! Very exciting!!! and also will be with 2 members from the group I was in on selection as they are on training the same week so will be great to see them again (go group A :D )

eeep everything is getting closer :D

I'VE PASSED!!!

Today was my driving test and I passed!!!! I am so happy to have passed first time and have my amazing instructor to thank, so thank you Sue!!!

My brother needs to learn how to use the iron....

He reminded me the other day that he will be 20 in a few months, maybe between now and then he will learn how to cook his own dinner and iron his own shirt, but in the mean time that's an extra £5 sponsorship :D

£20 extra to cook dinner? why not :D

My brother is bribing me with money he doesn't have to cook dinner as mum isn't feeling well, he says he will give me the money in April when he starts earning...I may just see this £40 its up to now before I go to South Africa in August...


I'll still include it in the count up though so that's now £2044.55

£2024.55

My form tutor said today that yes she had meant to give me £10 which was very kind of her, also today I had another £2 added to my sponsorship form which brings me to £2024.55 :D


I have also just sent an email to the local newspaper about myself and 4 others from 6th form spending our gap years volunteering with project trust so hoping they will be able to write an article about us in it to raise awareness of what we are doing

£2017.55 or possibly £2022.55

Cake sale today raised exactly £20! This brings me up to 

£2017.55!

In form today my form tutor gave me the money she sponsored me for my walk, I didn't have my sponsorship form with me today so didn't realise she had written down for £5 but she gave me £10. I will check tomorrow if she wants £5 back or if she meant to give me £10, if she did mean to give me the extra then that brings my total to

£2022.55

£977.45 to raise in 12 weeks and 4 days to reach the March £3000 target, it's doable, now to just work out how I'm going to do it!

I'm even closer than i thought!!!

Checked the pot i keep the £3 worth of change in for cake sales and found more than £3 in it, i had completely forgotten to count up the money from the cake sale before Christmas!


In the pot (in addition to the £3) was only £5.55 as no one seemed to want mince pies so this £5.55 that i had forgotten about means in am only 2 pounds and 45 pence away from £2000!!! This means my current total is

£1997.55

This means tomorrow once i sell 3 muffins at 80p each and a frog cookie at 10p each i will have raised over £2000! (£2000.05 to be precise!)

It feels so good to have reached this milestone!

Soooo close to £2000 :D

Making cakes today ready for a (Tuesday) cake sale when we are back at school tomorrow and my brother asked for one, i said he would have to buy one and then also reminded him he hadn't sponsored me yet, so he offers to sponsor me £20 in return for 1 (unfrosted) muffin! Mum then feels that she should sponsor me more than my brother did so sponsors me £25 :D


Easyfundraising is also now up to £30.52, £1.75 more since last time that brings me up to the total of

£1992 exactly!

Just £8 to go!

If anyone reading this would like to donate that £8 to reach £2000 then please visit my virgin money giving page failing that the cake sale tomorrow will raise the remaining money to reach £2000!

Then just to start working on the remaining £3100 :P

I go to South Africa this year!

Very excited about being able to now say i go to South Africa this year! Feels so much more real now :D
