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 22: Small things to be cheerful about

It's raining, there are still more than two weeks to go until the Easter holidays, exams are on the horizon, there's a woman on TV boiling half a pigs head to make a traditional English meal, there's a sheep with a poorly toe and I've had no chocolate for AGES. Not even a chocolate button.

Unleash the standby list of emergency things-to-cheer-you-up:
#1  ICanHasCheezburger.com
#2 getting someone else to do the washing up
#3 having a cup of tea and a nice sit down
#4 homemade treacle tart
#5 wearing earrings with parrots on.

That'll do for today.

No! hang on, surprise late entry from pigs-head-boiling lady:
"Anyone who thinks they've never eaten eyeballs is just pain kidding themselves."

Consider yourself unkid.
