One week in...

Good Morning!!


Ok, so this blogging business won't be a weekly occurence but I'm amazed at how many donations I have recieved already. One week ago today I set up my justgiving page and Blog and I'm  already up to £215.


Ok, so I did push it on Sunday as I was up to £85 and said on Facebook- if another £15 worth of donations came in before the end of the day I wouldn't post the website for "Justgiving" ever 5 minutes on Facebook... and I ended the day on £115. Then work got involved and sponsored me £100. Really warmed by how my friends have rallyed around already and this is just the start as I've got a few more ideas up my sleeve.


I've written to a few outdoor companies to see whether they would donate equipment for my trip as thats going to be quite costly expenditure. Also a friend of mine mentioned it worth approaching a well as a well known supermarket as they specifically have a pot of cash stashed away for this sort of thing, so fingers crossed and if I heard anything good back- of course, I'll blog it.


I've also set up an Ebay account to get rid of some unwanted items- it all adds up after all. So just watch this space...

Oh and last but not least I've been to the gym everyday, with exception to yesterday as I thought I should have a break. Already I'm finding my programme easier so will have to up my game- although I have absolutely no upper body strength so I've been concentrating on building up my muscle strength and therefore if you see me around... don't ask me to move my shoulders... they're very sore at the moment...!!!
