Operation Wallacea begins...

Wow, sorry I haven't updated recently, been quite busy with in-school activities! So, I have a meeting tomorrow about a trip that I've got the chance to go on to South America, and I'm not going to lie, I'm really looking forward to it! I've got 2 years to fundraise £3,000 (eeeeek!) and get my fitness up to the level that is needed! 
For a week, we'll be staying in a basic camp with river showers and hardly any facilites, but on the second week, we're staying in a lush hotel which borders onto a beach! We get to go scuba-diving in the ocean and see all the reefs and underwater wildlife. Anyone who know's me, knows that I'm not usually an outdoor person (living without straighteners is going to be a challenge!) but this sounds like an amazing chance and I really don't want to miss out on it!
So in July of 2015, we'll hopefully be jetting out to the Honduras with the Operation Wallacea team and that's where the adventure begins, I just hope I get over this fear of bees and wasps before then!! I'm so determined to raise enough funds for this though, and although it'll be hard work, I'm up for the challenge! 
I've been watching I'm A Celebrity recently as well, and I know that some people think that Joey Essex is quite thick and they may make fun of him but I think he's quite a nice lad! He's proved himself so much, he's nice to Amy, who is hated by a few others and he's basically fearless in the Bushtuckers! I'm backing him to win, because I think after everything he's gone through, he deserves some happiness:-) I just hope in my fortnight I won't have to search through a limo full of guts to get food like Lucy Pargeter had to, or eat Turkey bits either,ewwwwwww! 

I've got quite a lot of fundraising ideas, but now I just need to get the motivation to actually do it and get myself down to the gym and pool! Hopefully will be joining the Youth Firefighters as well, so that'll help with the fitness side of things. If you can't tell, I'm quite excited and just hope and fingers crossed that everything will come together in the next 2 years, got a lot to do!
