1 more sleep.........

Heading off tomorrow morning just after 9. 
Martha had a great trip to Edinburgh today and was very well behaved. What an awesome job you've done Comrie Garage.
Filled her tank with unleaded from empty .... £34, very little tank!
We have had an amazing amount of sponsorship in today. Thanks to the sportscotland tenants for donating and it was amazing to see a donation from Peterhead toppers.thank you all so much.

A few last minute panics, decided we would go for European breakdown cover, purchased. We had a slight panic about insurance as regular insurance doesn't normally cover Monaco, insurance company agreed to cover it for the day we are there, phew! 

Remembered to put in the tools

Mallet - if it should move and doesn't 
Duct tape - if it moves and it shouldn't 
I think we have every scenario covered 

Check Facebook for our daily competition, fab prizes to be won

We will blog as often as I can while away (dependant on data).

2 sleeps to go...........

What a day, what a FANTASTIC day!

We hit the £1000 goal today due to all our many and very generous sponsors. Lets see if we can get to £1250. If you've not donated yet it would be awesome if you would


Martha did over 100 miles today and behaved perfectly, apart from putting on her invisibility cloak when we were looking for her in Halfords car park.  We did read the manual thoroughly before heading off


We collected Denise Logan winner of the 'name the bear' competition. Ginny ( the bear also came too). We then went for coffee (and the greedier of us had cake!). 


We then went shopping to get some last minute supplies...... Mainly more coffee and crisps, bulbs for the car and ivy. (I'll explain about the ivy in a few days!) 

More sponsors stickers we put on the car and just as a saltire was about to be painted on the roof the rain came on. She has had her windscreen wiped several times today at junctions but that has nothing to do with the indicator controls being on the right!!!!!

Martha is now packed and good to go. She is off on a wee trip to the sportscotland building tomorrow and will hopefully get more money for the RNLI.
