£227!!!
So I am very VERY grateful to them all! And next week I'm going in on Tuesday and Thursday to help them out with hand washing some socks to raise some more money! As well as an assembly on Wednesday...
In other news: I have my driving test tomorrow. ARGH! Actually no, I think I should be OK as long as I don't let nerves get the better of me and make a stupid mistake. I took Sarah with me for me lesson on Wednesday because I reckoned she would be more distracting than the instructor could be. I'll also hopefully be more focused with the examiner! I'm fairly confident, I think I've achieved a nice balance between being too cocky and over ambitious, but I'm confident that I can pass. (It will be horrifically awkward if I have to post on here that I fail!). But I'm also hoping that something happens at the very beginning of the test that makes me think I've failed: the theory being that if I do the majority of the test thinking there's no hope, I'll be much more relaxed and therefore less likely to make any mistakes! I have managed to convince myself it doesn't matter if I fail so there's less pressure, and actually it doesn't matter so much. I really hope I can pass first time so that I'll be able to drive in SA which will make me much more independent and less reliant on other people, but I've already spent a year out there unable to drive so it's not so much of a big deal!
You might be able to tell I'm still trying to convince myself!
