I attended the birthday party of my friend Mel last night at a local bar and as I arrived she announced "I've got something for you!" and promptly disappeared behind the bar. When she emerged she was carrying a large basket of loose change. She explained that a friend had been moving back to the UK and didn't have time to sort it out or bank it before she left, so she asked Mel to give it to

I've begun using the social networking site 'Twitter' over the last few months. For those of you not familiar with it, it invites users to share and connect with other users all over the world in statements of only 140 characters.Until I began using it, I couldn't really work out what it was all about, however, it's proved to be, not only a fun way to connect with people all over the world, but

Arfurs Bar in Magalluf were the first to offer their help with my challenge by holding a Fancy Dress Night. They love an excuse to get dressed up!All the staff joined in to make it a great night of fun and laughter. There was Batman and Robin, a hatching chick, clowns, Little Bo Peep and her sheep, Minnie Mouse, a surgeon and a french maid, to name but a few. I'm not sure if I should be pleased

Since going public with this challenge it's been a busy and exciting week. Arfurs Bar in Magalluf have been the first to offer their support by hosting a Fancy Dress Night on Saturday 18th April to help boost my fund. Ian Pickles from Pickles Ballroom and Vicki McLeod from Luna Radio have also kindly offered to help and together we are busily planning two more events for May that I'm looking

After several months of just talking about this challenge within the confines of home and the security of family, I've actually found it quite scary finally making it public last week. It's not that I now feel I can't back out (I've absolutely no intention of doing that!), it's more a feeling of vulnerability having openly announced my once personal secret mission, to be judged in public.With the
