I know I know and I'm sorry. I haven't written a blog in the longest of time. So much going on and so much that I have to do but I'm getting there now.

God has been amazing at bringing in the funds and an amount I thought was well out of reach has pretty much been made. PTL. The Smartie Tubes did amazingly well bringing in about £140 well beyond what I ever imagined. Plus some naughty people have eaten the smarties and not brought me back any money!!

I've got a bed, which some of you will know was worrying me. It's also got a foam mattress which is great. My fears of a flea ridden hay mattress chucked on the floor have been banished.

The worrying thing is how it's all going to fit in my luggage allowance of 20kg! It seems unfair that I'm going for 3 months but I get the same weight allowance as someone who's going for a week! But anyway, I'm sure God has His hand over that as well.

I know that saying bye to Jason will be so hard. He's just going to drop me at the door. Neither of us like goodbyes much so the thought of hanging around waiting just freaks us out. Say bye and both get on. I'm gonna miss loads of stuff, as well as some great mates I'm really gonna miss Yorkshire puddings and sloughing around in front of the tv! I'm sure I'll miss something really random, like milk or something. I'll let you know! I can't wait for it to be the 2nd week. By then I'll be settled in and will know how things are going to work etc. All the horrible stuff that I'm really dreading will be over and done with like going to see the head of education! Ahhhh I'm scared of that.

Apart from that I can't wait to see my friends out there and just get into the sun (and wear my new tops I bought!!) haha
