Paul, I told Gaynor on Saturday that i would definitely get her £7k, so £10k is what I am aiming for!! :O) but let's walk before we can run.... once we are at £5,000 then i will raise the bar.... hope that makes sense!! :O) |

Yes, no now you can see why i am so excited about it all..... NOT!! :O) It takes approx. 2.5 hours for me to do the 8 miles.... and when i am in China I will be walking for 8 hours a day, for 5 days solid.... how much pain am I going to be in? |

Well lets hope that the hostel facilities have showers etc.... as apparently it may be quite primitive where we stay.... so they may well be very very, 5 days of solid walking, PONGY!! :O) |

Can you get permission from your local Council or whoever to get out there with buckets for small change. Why not kidnap a local dignitary ,with his consentof course and ransom him. Or is that too tacky? Di you are doing well, its amazing. Remember what I said about my sister -in-law,when she did it. She said it was the steps which got her. Really heaps of Luck Rose |

I am so tied up with the training and writing for auction pledges at the moment that standing around street corners with a bucket is the last thing I really want to do... what i am going to do is a pub crawl with friends and have the bucket with me... people give far more when they have had a beer or 3!! :O) |
