Well busy weekend for me I decided to do a couple of boot fairs to earn some spending money for me for the China Trek. Saturday saw me in the loft sorting out all the gear I didn't want I also priced up my goods and packed up my car for an early start on Sunday, sounds like an easy job but it took me nearly all day!
On Sunday I did the boot fair at Brookland, James also managed to come along to lend a hand, although I'm sure he came along for the burger stall! I told him he would need to pay for his food out of his own pocket not my profits! We had a really good day I made about £45 which was good as all my stuff was priced around 50p & £1. I really enjoy doing boot fairs, I know thats sad but its like having your own shop and your in charge! Also what you think is crap and old toot always manages to sell and I sold about half my stuff. So after a sucessful day I thought as my car was already packed up I might as well do another on Bank Holiday Monday. I know there was another booty being held at Great Chart cricket club so I thought if I wake up and the weather is good I will do it. So off we went again Monday morning setting off at 6.30am, James joined me again bless him it was his birthday and he spent the morning in a field selling all our bits and bobs. He was well happy though when the old bbq started up but again he wanted to take the money for his burger out of the profits well I said no & he had to pay for it out of his birthday money! We both had a good day and made £47.50, I didn't have much stock left over what I did have I bagged up for the charity shop. So we are both knackered but I think it was well worth it.
Back to work today, this week is the last week of the school holidays and I did Pig Racing today and I would like to say a big thank you to all those kind people that donated to our charity.

It was my birthday yesterday so I took the day off and went to Port Lympne Zoo with my sister had a great day out, then in the evening we went out for dinner. Anna also baked me some cup cakes which were yum, I managed to eat 4 of them today! Don't worry I still went out for my bike ride tonight to burn those naughty calories off!
Now for our next fundraising event, for those who haven't heard Emma and I will be holding another quiz night on 6th October. We only have space for a few more teams so please get in touch if you fancy taking part. We are currently sourcing prizes for our raffle to be drawn on the night, we have some fantastic prizes so far with more to follow I hope.

We would like to say I big thank you to all those visitors that visited last Friday 12th, yesterday and today who kindly donated. Emma and I really appreciate your donations.
As Emma has mentioned my mum and dad are over visiting at the moment so I'm sure I can rope them into to helping us at some stage!

Thank you to all those that brought tickets, we managed to raise over £100.
I also would like to say a massive thank you to Peter Webb a colleague who kindly made a large donation to our cause.

Hello all hope your all well, I have been busy still trying to keep fit! I am dreading the winter because its going to be to dark & cold to train or keep fit - during the week that is. Oh well lets not dwell on the nasty winter months that are ahead of us! I took part in a 5 mile race yesterday in Staplehurst, it was a real good race as it was all flat. This is my 1st proper race on my own and I was really nervous I completed it in 55 minutes, so was very happy with that and I even got a medal, which put a smile on my face. Thank you to Anna for coming along to support me, it was nice to have someone I knew at the finish line.
Regarding fund raising Emma and I are still working hard collecting prizes for our quiz night, which will be held on the 6th October. I know this seems a long way off but believe me it won't be long coming round. I've already started putting together the questions for the night, if anyway if anyone would like to enter a team please do get in touch with Emma or me.
