June update

It's a busy time at the moment, what with the restructuring at work (about which we are still getting told nothing), badminton club, interclub, rep training and trips, and church activities. This would all be plenty but for some reason I'm also piling up my plate with fundraising and marathon walk training for the Bridge of Hope walk on the first weekend in August.

Last Saturday we held our first of two major fundraising events: a family Wii tournament at church. It went really smoothly (especially compared to last time), although we were a bit disappointed that there weren't more people. Anyway most people had fun and with the money raised from the day and people donating at church on Sunday we raised nearly $400. You can follow our fundraising progress (and sponsor us!) here.

Our second event will be a quiz on 27 July. In the meantime we are both baking twice a week and selling goodies at work. I think we're both finding it harder going than last year; not sure why. Maybe the novelty has worn off for people, or they're just feeling less generous. Or maybe last year was easy for some reason and this is what it's supposed to be like? Anyway the fundraising is a bit of a roller-coaster, varying from the depressing to the exhilirating often in the space of a week. I think we'll be glad when it's over and normal service can resume!
