    My DS is in scouts too jakes-mum. The camps are no more then £20, except the 5 day one they do in Wales which is £75 - they do abseiling and kayaking when they go there. Its alot better than the £140 I paid for 2 days at a PGL camp when they went with school.

    OMG Look at the time, I'm off out in an hour and I need a shower, my jeans are in the washing machine and I need to wear them tonight!!! Where has today gone?!

    Just incase there is one of these pubs by you, there is a 20% off voucher for jwlees pubs at jwlees.co.uk/20percent_voucher.pdf. There are a load of pubs that it's applicable for so may be worth having a look!

    Anyway, arrrrrgggggghhhhh got to dash and get ready, will finish my update when I come back (I'm being so rubbish with this today!!!! Sorry guys xxx)

    well today has been my third day this week of listing on Ebay (all money made is going to Vanquis cc) got 29 items so far, and still more to list and find.
    i was such a hoarder but it is all slowly going.
    i found a mag ive had for 4 years in a drawer and put it on there for £1.50 or if no one wants it, recycle bin, but after listed i found a couple more they sell for £50-£80 :eek: oops i know its 1st edition but still only cost me £3.75 then, so quickly changed the price before anyone bidded. i hope it sells fingers crossed. xx

    Oh and I think I should mention here that I am a bit lazy to be honest so the effort would be just too much... I find it difficult enough getting the motivation to go out for a walk let alone months trying to climb a mountain!!! :rotfl:



    I'm pretty lazy too but I climbed Mt Kilimanjaro in 2008 and got to the top (practically dying from the lack of oxygen and aching muscles!). I don't feel any different from doing it so while it's an experience, I'd save your money :rotfl::rotfl:

    Kerri is it free listing? I did keep checking but still not got it confirmed from fleabay.
