Money and Mourning...

08/05/2013
I'm very sad. The Email regarding our placement details has been postponed once again. At first it was pure excitement and anticipation but after nearly three weeks of thinking "it's definitely coming tomorrow" I feel empty! It won't be here until next week. I am trying not to get my hopes up though. Of course, I do understand completely, it's a difficult process for Project Trust: deciding the fates of so many volunteers! 

I have a car boot sale on Saturday. I know what your thinking. Why on earth would I willingly attend a car boot sale once I have already finished fundraising? Spending money! If you haven't been following my blog - go back to the beginning and start now. Only joking...

If you haven't been reading my blog, I need to raise an extra £1000 on top of the £5400 already raised for Project Trust. The grand however is for me, for spending money. If like me you don't have any savings to dip into, it's quite difficult to make a grand in a limited amount of time! We are not aloud to raise it in the name of the charity. I don't have a job, making the task even more impossible. So you might be surprised to hear I have already saved £500! This has come purely from car boot sales and my student bursary (cheap student here.) I am positive that I will reach the £1000. My family are sponsoring me to climb Goat Fell this month. I think it's a great idea because they know the money is to cover personal costs whilst i'm overseas...and they want to see me attempt a mountain.

Sorry if my blog is a little boring recently... I have pictures to add. Until next time!

Unfortunately the car boot sale was cancelled but i'm sure there will be many more.

Nearly done

29/04/2013
Today I had my third and final Rabies injection in my right arm and my one and only Hep A/ Typhoid in my left arm. I still feel fine so no side effects. I'm back on Tuesday the 7th for more.

I am DESPERATELY waiting for the post man. Everyone has a feeling that today is the day! I really hope my placement letter comes, I'm too excited to wait much longer.

It's May 1st and there is still no letter in sight. However I did receive the following email. I'm glad I finally know what's happening but I do wish we got a paper copy of project details, it would be nice to have something to keep. Knowing that the email could come any time, any day within two weeks is both exciting and a little frustrating, I want to know what day so I can contain my excitement!



It would be appreciated if you could take your time to check out the following website. Running 850 miles in hope of raising an incredible 10,000 for the British Heart Foundation is admirable. Click HERE for the website. Click HERE to donate.
