Another Update :)

These weeks seem to fly by! which is NOT GOOD for sponsorship considering that numbers are dropping off at lectures now, and people are preparing to go home for easter (difficult to ask people for money who aren't there). Seem to be really busy lately with french, dance teaching, being on the radio and training (and of course that pesky uni work!) so I'm starting to panic about my July deadline for the first £1000. My easter project is to pester pester and pester for sponsorship. Also am going to part with some of my clothes on ebay (!) and hopefully get enough stuff together for a carboot sale.
Any other ideas? please let me know

Quick update on how things are going

Hey everyone

I know I've been a bit sporadic with my updates but I've been really busy (on and off the bike)
Been on the radio for the past two weeks promoting the bike ride. Last week I got some advice from none other than Jimmy Saville which was lovely! I'm going to be on the show again this week (Wednesday's Midweek Drive show from 5-7 on Siren fm 107.3) so I'll carry on begging hoping that some time people will log on and donate some money. Even if not, I have been put in touch with some really great people who have given me a lot of advice (and hopefully some sponsorship)

Still trying to bike everyday for about an hour and have found a couple of hidden gems around lincoln. I've also been for a body M.O.T. which really opened my eyes to how far I have to go (the less said about the results the better) So I've come back this week with a new resolve to get my (also somewhat sporadic) diet in place with my exercise plan to get fitter for my next M.O.T. which I will book for next month and hopefully get some nicer results lol.

I'll keep you updated

Slight signs of improvement and the radio

Yesterday was my third spinning class and after nearly four weeks of cycling, I've had a mini breakthrough ... Today I woke up pain free! and at the class I didn't feel like I was going to explode, I just felt like I was exercising...

Anyway, the real reason for the blog today is that I'm on the radio this afternoon! Siren 107.3 are kindly letting me talk about the trip and ask for sponsors on their midweek drive show. So any lincoln uni goers who are looking at this blog instead of doing your MCC week 7!(not to worry some of us are writing it instead of doing week 7 lol) can listen between 5 and 7 tonight :):)

Thanks for reading xoxo

This Week Cont ...

Hey guys,

This week: days done exercise:7, days gone on a bike ride:6, radio chats:1, pizza eaten: still none!

Was on the radio yesterday which was fun! managed to get my neb in and plug the donating page and ask for sponsors so who knows who was listening (fingers crossed for a kind sympathetic millionaire!)

Did my longest bike ride today and managed to leave Lincoln all together lol, there was a sign for Grimsby and part of me was tempted to try it! a challenge for when I'm a bit fitter I reckon :) I truly have fallen back in love with bike riding and exercise (I did get a bit lazy there for a while!). Keeping on the look out for good bike deals also.

Thought this weekend about having a swishing (clothes swapping) party to raise funds at the Junxion where I live, but need to wait till tomorrow when the office is open to enquire.

Also have my first proper tangible holdable money in my fundraising box (thought as one of my only two followers so far you'd appriciate it James)

AND last but not least I'm going to put a money tin in Jazz in town (thanks Chelsea!) so that could be quite good!

Thanks for reading xxx
