| Alex all dress up on her 17th and sadly final birthday |
Before I update you on the day to day events of Saturday, Sunday, Monday and today I will update you that I have a current total of £118! I also have promises of donations at the end of this month.
With special thanks to:
Sophie Lapin - Sophie is a school-friend of my older sister, and as I have grown up we have also become friends enjoying many a funny or tearful night our together, Sophie has the brightest smile around :)
If you can spare even the smallest amount towards my cause I would really appreciate it. :)
I think I'll tease you about the past couple of days, I'll work back day by day.
Today - It was my 3rd day at my new job, and I seem to be getting to grips with what I am supposed to do, and I'm even managing to get my guys to let me know where they are like they should be. I had a dental appointment that I was dreading but I am glad I went as my broken tooth (where I tried to eat a Mini's car window - inside joke) is now fixed. I had an amusing moment today when half of my face was still numb from he injection I had to do a answer-phone recording for one of our customers and not only did it take several attempts but the end result sounded better then when I don't have a numb face.
Yesterday - Was introduced to management staff in the management meeting, started learning properly what I am supposed to be doing. Also started understanding who is who and what their personalities are. it was an exhausting day that left me longing for my bed, which is why I ended up doing a short blog linking to an online photo album of the abseil. May I just say how sorry I am for breaking my promise to you, I never break my promises and those of you that know me will know that about me. It might be that the exhaustion from having glandular fever a year or so ago has left me with re-occurring tiredness that knocks me out.
Sunday - Mother's Day and what a magnificent mother I have, my mother and me woke early had our breakfast and decided enough was enough and once my mother had opened her cards and presents, we re-arranged our living room because my younger sister has the strength of a 5 year old and my father isn't able to do as much nowadays - besides both of them were asleep. We had an enjoyable day with family visiting and calling throughout the day. I rounded off the day by cooking the family a lovely meal (their words not mine) of Gammon steaks, pineapple, eggs and salad. I did all this whilst I had battered and bruised ribs and legs - as I had forgotten how much pain abseiling leaves you in.
Saturday - The Big Day. I woke early and as a family we were collectively ready, out the door and in the car on the road to London Town (said in a London accent) I tried to keep focussed on what I was about to do and why I was doing it, I didn't want anyone else's thoughts to creep in and make me doubt my own will power. Unfortunately the sat-nav had other ideas and instead took us on a tour of London and tried to take us down every closed road there was in London. We were mere minutes late, I filled in the relevant paperwork and gave my belongings to my family and put on my Child Bereavement Charity T-shirt. Julia and myself were then showed out to the 3rd floor roof garden where we were kitted up and shown how to use the equipment . . . To Be Continued . . .
A word from Alex
Your gone & it's bad,
Your gone & it's sad,
You use to love me &
Now your just a memory.
