Current Total...

Just checked easyfundraising and that is currently at £28.77 (massive thank you to my Mum's friend April who has raised £8.05 of that and £7.47 has come from just the searches on easysearch (easyfundraising and easysearch info is here) 


Added to that is the £10 from Greg which brings me up to: 

£1945.25

Getting really close to £2000 now, just £54.75 to go! I have £30 in my room from babysitting and I have cheques to pay in from Christmas presents so if i included them i would have the £2000 but I think i'm going to save that to put towards the jabs and visa, hopefully the new year will bring donations from charitable trusts (fingers crossed :D)

Now back to law revision and the joys of the defence of insanity...

Thank you Greg

A friend of my Dad's who he worked with many years ago has sponsored me £10, thank you Greg :D

Merry Christmas!

The days of getting up at 5am in our house are long past, i woke up at half 6 freezing (my duvet was somehow on the floor, with my stocking under it) so opened my stocking (contents - lindt chocolate santa, a spatula, body spray and the traditional clementine! lovely useful combination of items!) then went back to sleep until half 9!

Grandma is coming over soon, at about half 11 after she has been to church and then we will open the main presents, and then wait for dinner which is now at 4 (its changed 3 times since mum picked up the turkey two days ago :P)

I wish every one a very merry Christmas!

Congratulations!

Would like to say congratulations to Alice (http://lost-in-tokyo.tumblr.com/) for after no posts in 1 month she has posted 3 times in 24 hours, even better is I am mentioned in 2 of them! :D

I walked and I walked and I walked!

Today was the bus way walk, we got the bus to the last stop on the busway this side of cambridge and walked the 10 miles back! it took us about 5 1/2 hours including us stopping at each of the stops (5) for about 10 minutes.

I did the walk with my friend Sophie who is going to China with Project Trust, she has all the photos so I will upload them when she send them to me.

My current total of sponsorship is a fantastic £213.31 I am very, very pleased with that but there is still time to make donations at virginmoneygiving.com/AmeliaSykes

As long as I can get the money from everyone who has written it down it takes my fundraising total up to £1906.48

Next target is £2000! There is also currently £21.25 raised through easy fundraising so that leaves just £72.27!

Thank you!!!

I love my work!

I work as a cleaner in a primary school 3 days a week, not the most glamorous job but the people make it good. The staff are fantastic and the three that I asked for sponsorship today each sponsored me £5. Also me and my friend who i work with on friday's were given some lovely Thorntons chocolates as a christmas present from the teachers and the headteacher gave us each a long tube of jelly beans! THANK YOU!!!

Also one of my friends in form asked me on Wednesday if she could straighten my hair (my hair is pretty curly!), and would give me an extra £5 sponsorship on top of the £5 she has already put on the sponsorform, it was the money that convinced me! so this morning we got to form room at quater past 8 (normal time is half past) and she straightened my hair, hopefully she will send me the before and after photos later and i will add them

edit on 7th jan, got the photos from my friend...



I don't have a 'before' photo from on the day but this photo was taken on the ferry to Coll, me on the left, Alice who is going to Japan in the middle and Tara who is going to Guyana on the right, as you can see my hair is curly...

Half way through Frankie straightening my hair...

And an 'after' photo :)





Frankie's extra sponsorship brought the current sponsoship total = £193.31, so close to £200!!!

+ £10

another £10 in sponsors from 2 of our neighbors, total sponsorship is now at £173.31 :D
