Still Going!

I haven't updated this blog for a while (6 weeks holiday and the kids have kept me busy!) but I've still been working on my Maverick Award 😀

I've added a few more hours for 'My Community' including meetings, and preparing finance reports. It's not much added to the total but we have a lot of events planned before Christmas so the hours will soon be adding up! 🎄

'My Challenge' is proving really difficult though; I was doing really well, and had lost over 1 stone but I have gone off track and I fear I've put a good chunk of weight on again 😔 I am back for a weigh-in on Tuesday, so we shall see...

I am making slow progress with 'My Skills' - I am putting in some time (although not as much as I'd like) but I can't say I'm seeing much improvement! 😅

I'm feeling really positive about 'My Beliefs'. I've started working on the Rebel 'Food Bank Challenge' which ties in so nicely with this section.

I've convinced the headteacher of my son's school to collect food bank donations for the Harvest Festival (in the past we've collected fresh produce and then sold it back to the school community, to raise funds). I also suggested that we make people aware of how they can access the food bank, if they need to. The school is in an area of deprivation and the community is so generous, even when they often have little themselves.

'My Adventure' is still on the back burner, initially scuppered by finances then, when I found a cheap campsite, stopped by lack of childcare! I feel like this section is going to extend my Bronze Award beyond the minimum 6 months simply due to the fact my cheap camping options aren't really feasible in the winter months!
