No pain, no gain

Who would want to give up chocolate? Not many people, including me. Obviously I had a mad 2 minutes in which it seemed like a good idea, but that was weeks ago and I've come to my senses now. All too late though, I had already committed myself to the fabulous 'Stuff Your Rucksack' scheme for a trip to Nepal in April. This will see me forced to leave the kitchen sink behind and instead fill my rucksack with far more useful things to support the work of Nepal Schools Aid (UK) with disadvantaged children in Kathmandu.

Instead of financial support I am seeking donations of coloured paper/crayons/finger paints/maps/plastic letters to take to Nepal. If you would like to make a financial donation though, it would of course be very welcome. Please click on the link to My Charity page.
*Update - educational posters are also urgently needed as a priority!*

Day 30:woooooooooo!

Today was excellent for many reasons, but mostly because of the Year 11 music recital which featured several jawdroppingly good performances. Even if I wasn't completely biased I'd still think they were brilliant.
Plus there were also excellent cakes in the interval
Even more plus, got home to find we are dog sitting for one more night as the outlaws are getting back from their hols late. The dog was wild with joy to see me, mostly because he thought he'd get fed again. But still.

In a fit of daring I purchased some chocolate brownies for someone (without their knowledge) and managed to give them to them without eating any first. An unexpected triumph.
