So I just got back from my 50 hour Escape and Evade Challenge.
Result: We made it to Glasgow :D
Raised: £525 for Great Ormond Street Hospital

Considering that we hadn't made any ground on acquiring plane or travel reservations, and were basically going into this blind and with nothing, I am quite proud. We also go back to discover that 2 groups of the 6 participating had dropped out, and that one isn't making back in time - after having one too many in Amsterdam.

Milage wise- google has told me that it was 996 miles in total. So fingers crossed we come out the winners, because that would be amazing. We have slept in Victoria Coach station and on various buses/coaches, and eaten in random places and been cold most of the time.

Thanks to Longleys taxi's, Megabus Coaches, and Greyhound Buses UK, for getting us to these places- and thanks for nothing to most airlines, train lines, and national express!
Can't believe we did it.


Yay team Charity Skywalkers!

Having become a student, I have realized something about myself. Not everyone has a compulsive need to clean up after themselves straight away (or even during the process) when they make a meal. Everyone has a different level of cleanliness in the kitchen, and it just so happens that I am not one of those people who can go for days without washing said pans. I'm not a confrontational person, and usually I don't mind cleaning it up other people's as well, because I am going to wash my things up anyway.... But leaving them there for 2 days to crust up and become disgusting to look at piling up is appalling. They do warn you about student living upon arriving at university. I wish I had the ability to adopt a hippy like mindset. if I was going to go back and be someone from the 60's and 70's it would have to be a hippy.


Drifting off topic a little, the only thing that does seem strange is that there is a dishwasher in the house, so it requires minimal effort to put dirty dishes in there to be cleaned. In a house with 7 people, the pans get used often and more than once per meal time, so it seems to me common sense to clean up promptly.
Having said this my housemates are great in all other respects and perhaps I need to keep my newly found obsessive need to have things clean in check!! 


That's all for now
