Things have slowed down on the challenge front as my life whizzes around at a tremendous pace at the moment. I'm still just a few pounds shy of £1000 which I'm still hoping to reach soon.
A lot of the challenges are taking their time to complete although I'm pleased to report that I'm half way through the films, Dangerous minds being my latest offering from 1995. I've spent many hours this week trying to arrange a school quiz and summer fayre, so I'm easily past halfway in my 40 hours of volunteering. If I logged every moment I spent sending email, communicating with various people, designing forms and posters, I'd have passed 40 hours already!
I'm still struggling to get people to commit to joining me on the climbing wall challenge, so far it's me and Samuel who've paid for me to scare myself half to death up a wall on a bit of rope!
We had a flurry of card games whilst away on our caravan holiday during half term, and I purchased half a dozen books from my childhood to keep me going over the coming months.
The walking group restarted after the holidays and I chalked up another 5.5 mile walk. Now I just need to practice the up hill bit for Snowdon!
The last few weeks of school are always the busiest, but whilst all this is going on, I didn't think I'd still be around to see my son finish primary school. When you get a cancer diagnosis, you start planning for the worst. I'd chosen my hymns for my funeral in my mind before I'd even been officially diagnosed, and I even thought about whether anyone from the school choir would attend, as my kids have both been part of it through their time at school. My son's last day next month will be emotional for me in more ways than one. We all will move on to the next big part of our lives in the coming months, something I didn't think I'd see back in November 2010. All I can say is there will be tears!
Please keep sharing and supporting.
Louise
