Just 4 days left to go!! The final prepartions are under way all that is left to do is collect my foriegn currency tomorrow and decide on my outfit for the celebratory evening in Peru after the trek. (and pack those final few things that as of yet I am unaware of but am sure to have forgotten!!)

I would like to thanks my Auntie Tracey and Uncle Geoff for the cheque that arrived in the post this morning!!

I am over the moon that I have managed to raise another £80 in just 24 hours and have also had people tell me that they will sponsor me another £15 which I will count when I recieve it! My total now stands at £940!!!

Its now 5 days until I leave for Peru and a last minute email has led to a few more sponsors :)

Thankyou to Andrew Dyer, Mark Burgess and Alia Khan for their donations today! I would also like to thank Emma, a collegue of my dads, for her kind donation!

The bags are almost packed and there are just a few last minute things to do and I will be ready! Cannot believe the trek is almost here!!

With just 2 weeks to go until I leave for the trek I should really be writing here that I have been extremely bust training, but I have to admit that there has been little training here Im afraid!! I really should get out and about in preparation for the trek!! although in saying that, I did plenty of hill walking in center parcs last week so that should count for something I suppose!

Just totaled up all the money paid to the NAS and the money I still have to pay in and the current total stands at £839, which is great, I would love to reach £1000 before I leave for the trek but with just 2 weeks to go I expect this is highly doubtful!

Well Im off today to buy my sleeping bag, or I shall be very chilly at the top of the mountain sleeping in just my thermals!!

Not as many people turned up to the Bingo evening as was expected but we still had a good time, even if the chocolate fountain decided it wasnt going to join in!!

Thankyou to Mum, Dad, Andrew, Kerry, Mark and Alia for coming and helping me raise another £35. Hope you all had fun!!

I am extremely thankful to my brother for taking a sponsor form into work with him! I was surprised enough when he told me he had managed to get £85 in sponsorship from his work mates but imagine my surprise when a week later he told me he had raised £195 and that his company had sponsored me too!!! I would like to say a huge thankyou to TW Metals, Nursling for their kind donation and all the staff who have sponsored me, you are amazing and Andrew will be bringing in treats for you all tomorrow as a token of my appreciation!

I cannot believe I have now raised over £700 and couldnt have done that without the help and support of my friends and family! But that makes my fundraising sound kind of final which it isnt and I still want to raise a lot more money for this worthwhile charity!

Whoever said that fundraising wasn't easy was definately right!!! The morning arrived to have the car boot sale, the car had been loaded the night before (I was extremely organised!) I was up bright and early, mum was in the car buried under stuff to sell, I turn the key in the ignition and...........................nothing! lets just say I was not impressed! Tried to bump start the car, still nothing, so I called my brother to come and jump start us (guess he wasnt impressed either at being woken up!) luckily a guy across the road had some jump leads so a quick call to Andrew to tell him to go back to bed and Mark jump started us on our way!

All was going well, I even had a text message from a friend saying how lucky we were that it wasnt raining, well no sooner had I read the message the rain began! But not to be put of the buyers were still around and we managed to raise £46.55! which considering the weather is a great amount!

A huge thankyou to everyone that donated items for me to sell and also thankyou to mum and dad for helping me load the car and start up the boot sale and also to Andrew and Kerry for helping me during the morning and helping me pack up and jump start the car to come home! All your help is greatly appreiciated!

More thanks are in order as my total increases to £478.45!! Thankyou to my Grandma and Louise for their kind sponsors!

The carboot sale is set to go ahead tomorrow and already the boot of my car is full and that is just with the items that my Grandma has had given to her for the sale!! I still have the contents of the spare room to put it the car yet! I have got my price labels printed and some balloons blown up with helium to advertise the fact that it is for charity. Hopefully I will be able to raise quite a bit tomorrow, but its going to be another of those events that will be affected by the weather I expect!
