Finally the last day is here. It is so repeative when you are having the same food every day. Like hannah said below, it really does make you appriciate the small things in life, like just being able to grab any food, or even the smaller things like the choice of things.
I was thinking about what I am going to eat on saturday, and we spoke about having indian, but then i realised every time we go there, we spend $22. So for the one meal, its the same as a weeks worth of food for both of us. Its really gave me a reality check to my life, that i shouldnt jsut spend because I can, as there are alot of people that cant do that.
Yesterday I worked an 11 hour day (9am till 8pm), hence was lucky that i brought enough food with me for the day. It meant I didnt get to have dinner till nearly 9pm.
Today its again porridge (suprise suprise), then we dont know. We have so much food left over. We were fairly conserviative at the start as we thought that towards the end we would need more as we would be more run down. Hannah was sick again yesterday, but she didnt have alot more food like we planned for.
As of today we have raised $782.75 which is astounding, considering at the start my goal was $200, and I thought that would be hard to get to. I have now raised 472.75, so have flogged the original target. I have included all cash donations + my donation under Scott Walsh.
Thanks everyone who has donated. Really means alot
Also the organisation yester broke the 1 million dollar mark. Thats 1,000,000.00!!! they are now at 1.064mill!!
