I have now officially signed up to do the half marathon. Didnt really realise when i originally signed up just how far this would require running. Apparently its like running from shoebury to pitsea (for anyone local) for those who arn't I would have to walk from the tower of london to the london eye 5 times and still have to walk a little further :(.
Thing is Im not walking this half marathon, Im supposed to be running it!!
Better start training eh?!?

Bake sale complete
I cant believe how well the bake sale went!!!
Myself, friends, relatives and co-workers all made cakes (totalling about 100) which eventually raised £220 for the Essex Air Ambulance!
I was so thrilled because I thought that I was only going to raise £70!
I have now set up my just giving website http://www.justgiving.com/Sammyschallenge now so people can go on there and check what is being planned and if they want to donate money.

New tasks in progress
I am in the progress of organising my bake sale for this Thursday 26th May. We are organising a competition were people pay £1 to enter and we are also selling the cakes cookies e.c.t off to raise money for the essex air ambulance. Hopefully this event will turn out ok and we will have raised quite a bit of money by the end of the day.
Tasks 49, 73 & 80
Other tasks that I have completed are :
Task 49 - Cancel Love Film subscription - after having the account but not receiving any DVD's for almost a year I cancelled my subscription to Love Film. They were very kind and said that we didnt need to pay for the films as we had spent so long looking for them.
Task 73 - Picnic & 80 - Walk along the beach were completed on the same day. We drove down to Clacton in Poppy to give her, her first outing and took a picnic with us and ate it on the beach. We then took a walk down to the Peir and played some of the games and won over 800 tickets.

Lots to update
Right I have lots of completed tasks to update so lets get on:
Task 48. - Completely wash and clean car- I completed this about 2 weeks ago when I bought my new car (Poppy) I cleaned and emptied my KA and made her look all pretty so that I would get top money for her. Unfortunately because i had lost one of the keys I only got £1,000 for her but still thats not bad. My new car Poppy is a red Seat Ibiza Copa and she is beautiful!

Diet begins tomorrow
Well I have decided after much persuasion that probably the best diet for me would be the slim fast diet.
I replace 2 of the meals that I eat a day with a Slim Fast milk shake. It doesn't matter what meal so if i know that I'm going out for a friends birthday or go out for a meal I can make sure that i have my shakes for Breakfast and lunch. Im also able to have 3 snacks over the course of the day of fruit veg or slim fast snack.
Hopefully this will really help get me down to a size 10/12 soon as im getting fed up!

Go to a Spa completed
Although I havent posted in a while I have now completed another of my 101 things. Go to a Spa. On Friday last week my mum, her friend Ann and I all set off at 7 in the morning on a 3 hour trip up to Warwick to go to Ardencote Mannor Spa and Country club. The location was lovely and we were so glad to be staying over night.
This ment that we could enjoy the complimentry re-new me massage that came with the trip and also book another treatment for the next day. We also took full advantage of the sunny weather lounging around the Hot tub while soaking up as much sun as possible and even in my case getting a little burnt.
All in all a brilliant time, so much so that we have decided to make it a more permenant feature in our lives!
