101 Challenges:

Location: Bali

We appeared in the Scottish Daily Record newspaper yesterday after sending a few emails back and forth to a journalist who was very friendly and nice to us. We like nice people.

In exchange for some of our amazing words of wisdom – the Daily Record decided to reward our little project by donating £100 to the High Five Challenge. It’ll be great to hand this money over to some needy folk throughout the rest of our travels.

A woman’s magazine journalist quickly got in touch after reading the 2-page Record feature (that’s almost as big a coverage as Janet Jackson’s nips) and although we’re all too happy to appeal to the masses (mums love us) we’re even happier to say that once this article goes to press, they’ll be handing over £500 to our charidee efforts. Nice.

Any future funds from any forthcoming articles, features and what-not will be going to us. We’ve been over-spending on our daily £20 budget continuously since leaving 'home' and seriously and drastically require some beer funds. You’d think that coming from the home town of the great economist Adam Smith, we’d have a better grasp on the world of expenditure control – but we don’t. We’re bloody useless. On top of this, surely we’ve done enough good deeds this quarter of the year to make God keep our planes in the sky.

To all the people who’ve been in touch with well-wishes and nice little e-letters, thanks very much. It’s nice to be appreciated Mum (we know it’s you).
