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 Seven: one week down

Well, it's not going too badly, if you don't count the fact that I've discovered eight new grey hairs this week, wished two people a nice weekend this morning (got a bit of a shock when I found it wasn't Friday yet) and almost ended up hiding under a desk yesterday when I was outwitted by our 400 year old photocopier.
On the plus side I found a terrific source of educational posters today and am really excited about buying some to take to Nepal. Also, I've had a cup of tea, and that's made everything better.
