So....as I sit here with an empty glass of Bacardi and coke while watching the TV on a Saturday night and wonder why I'm not on the razzzz. Well its because you are saving for a fantastic holiday Stevie you numskull! Jeez, OK, I know you are right but I just wish the holiday started a bit sooner especially as the ratio for boys to girls on the overland trip is about 4:1 weehee. Yep that's true, at the moment there are 16 people who have identified themselves on a focus group and only 3 (including me) are blokes weehee, well apart from CJ and Jim who are looking after us as we bump along but we don't count them do we..........?

Pete, kindly offered to be my referee for my project work (thanks Pete) and I've booked my flight to Sri Lanka and my other overland trip up through South America today as well, so its all go, go, go but I am still kacking my pants, just a little. I know it'll be fine but I still have a lot to do before 17th of April, including more jabs. Gareth my Dr's practice nurse said that at the end of the programme he'd need both arms and both butt cheeks to stick a needle in, I hope he was joking............
