Really rather quick post.

I'm aware that I haven't posted in quite a while, although this is more down to the fact that nothing interestin has happened than that I haven't been bothered!

Work at the Butchers is going really well and I'm really enjoying it which always makes things twice as nice. I made a penny collection box to put in there (took it in today) to match the one in the DVD rental shop and in the 4 hour shift I did today, I think nearly £5 went in, loads of people put in pound coins as well!!!! I'm going to take some pictures of all (3) of my jars and out them up for you!

As you can see from my thermometer, I have got over £3700 now, which means I happily hit my March deadline of £3000, so only another £1300 to go now and I have 3/4 months to get that :)




As a smaller, more personal note, a little girl I look after has just been accepted into a private school which means I probably won't be able to childmind her if she accepts the place and I wanted to tell her what an absolute pleasure it's been spending time with her, and how much me AND my family will miss our Wednesdays and Thursdays with her quirky and wonderful personality!

Just an update

So I'm really enjoying working at the Butchers! And I now childmind for two families on a regular basis (every weekday after school) I've had a couple more donations, I might be doing a wine tasting night if I can get a nice free venue! My old secondary school is split into 5 'houses' and each house has a charity week, where they choose a charity and have to raise as much money as they can for that charity, so that might be a little fundraiser. I'd also possibly go in and maybe do an assembly or speak at the morning teachers briefing, but I seem to have a radio silence from the teacher who's helping me organise :s

Other than that, there's not much else to report. I think we find out where exactly we're going sometime this month, so as soon as I find that out, I'll put up where I'm going and find some information on it!
