This young lady has a fab list of things and makes us realise we should all do as much as we can.

mr_knight - thanks for that. What a positive lady she is........annd you're right. We come this way but once and shouldn't put off doing things until next week, next year, whenever.......we just may not be able to do it then.
I consider myself very lucky in many ways and count my blessings daily:)

What an amazing lady/teenager/girl she is to make something so positive of a very negative situation. Sure made me think....... and find a hankie.

If wanting to drive a particular type of vehicle such as a lorry or bus or even a fire engine figures on your list here's your chance:

You need to raise a certain amount of sponsorship- it doesn't state the amount but I am thinking about £75? Ladies Driving days take place across the country and the vehicles available depend on what local firms are able to loan BUT there will certainly be a fire engine so you can whizz down the road with the lights flashing and the siren going!
Been there, done it, bought the T shirt and it was worth every penny (and for a charity too)
