C Day

and it stands for China before I get any comments..

And yes , it’s different that an F Day. In a very funny discussion with my old boss we were discussing my love life. He advised that if I ever pulled and was shattered after a night of best sex ever, or even had a chance to have some during that day, as long as I had the nerve to ring up and request an F day he would give it to me as an extra holiday .. and if you don’t know what the F stands for then you need one more than I did at that point ...

Did I ever take one.. well.. that's another story..

I leave for China on Friday, I haven't packed, finished my washing, unpacking and I have yet to get my jabs. So all I can do when I asked if I am ready is smile sweetly and then panic inside...

A bottle of white wine really does help if you are feeling nervous as you soon don’t feel very much especially from the knees down. Why is it that you get drunk from legs upwards??

I look like a walking advert for Craghoppers crossed with a stuffed sausage as I have so many layers on. It won’t be a glamorous walk as far as I am concerned but at least we no longer have snow!!

Spare a thought for my knees from Sunday onwards and I will do the blog warts and all..
(I can’t find any marabou slippers.. well I can but £60 for walking the wall and no one to appreciate when I get home is far too much... and I can fall down my home stairs in socks so heels may not be a sexy look..)

Also, after the series of reports in the Evening Standard about poverty in London and the conditions that some children are growing up in it really does send the message clear on why I am also doing this.. Apart from the personal challenge I will be helping to raising money for kids that are not only ill or homeless but poor, abused, have limited opportunities and seem to be forgotten by many. The money will help improve their life through grass root projects. When you read about the Islington children’s pauper graves ( 6-8 to a grave) it makes you really sad.

So Thank You! From me and from Have a Heart for being really generous. Thank you to everyone that has made donations and supported me and told me that I am mad.

Now Feck Off and let me get back to my packing
