Poor Student Fund
2nd June 2006

Having completed 5 years at University, I am now attempting to pay off a significant debt. As I live in hope, I have made it possible for friends, family and whoever else cares to make a donation to assist me by donating any spare cash to this needy fund. Even if it is just 50p, everything is greatly appreciated!

Broken Leg
1st March 2006

Went snowboarding today, attempted to use my snowboard as a sledge. Well, it was fun, but I have broken my right leg. This means no driving for 8 weeks, and nothing for the first week (until the doctors can confirm that it is healing well and I dont need surgery). Still pushing on with everything, It's not gonna hold me back!

The Battle of Olympus
22nd July 2005

I have won the battle of olympus :) 12 months ago, my olympus digital camera died :( The annoying thing was, it was still under warrenty! So, I mailed it off to be repaired and I was sent a bill of £109 to repair a £150 camera. I refused to pay and accepted the loss of my camera. After seeking legal advice, i wrote to olympus giving them the oppertunity to repair it under warrenty before I took the case to court. Today, I recieved a brand new camera through the post which was a free upgrade :)
