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 Four: Spring Has Sprung

Lovely sunny day for most of the UK, except where it was snowing.
I seem to be better at giving up chocolate than remembering to update my blog. I blame the DI Frost books, too gripping to put down for long.
So, the tactic for today was to escape the jar of Nutella, which I could hear calling plaintively from the kitchen cupboard. As it was so nice outside I went into town. I started off well, taking some of my World Book Night books to the YMCA but then I ended up buying a frock. And then a load of other stuff which was all heavy and needed to be taken home. So I did that and then somehow ended up back in town doing the same thing all over again.
I hadn't realised giving up chocolate would be so expensive.
The third excursion of the day was an evening safari in Hatfield Forest where there were deer, bats, and birds aplenty. And mercifully the shop and cafe were shut.
