Ok first of all I need to thank Dick and Simon for their generous and amazing gifts!! The Green rack sack!! Thank you so much! And as well to Gilbertomondo for the working clothes!! You two are like amazing and I am sending the fattest cyber hugs you can imagine!! I decided to take the rack sack out and see if it was weather proof as if it can withstand the cold icy weather on the back of me..... It will survive anything!!! Hehe ;) So Josh and I decided to dress me up in the most ridiculously yellow outfit as this is my favorite colour and see how it looked it like on me – if the green suited me... yeah... enough said.... me thinks.... So only just under two weeks to go.. Can’t believe it! I have been meeting up with friends this week and the more I get asked about it the more it is hitting home and then I decided to check my bank balance as I finished paying for the trip and yeah I can safely say reality hit home today – yikes!!! I will definatley slim down on that budget!!! Haha How

Thank you RMG J I think I am trying to eat the book - at least if I do starve I will always have the book!! However the people at work aren’t impressed with my blog so far.
