Hey everyone!
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!! YAAAAAAAAAAY!
And all those prayers and magikal dances must have eventually kicked in 'cos it was a glorious day! Jc and I are both sunburnt like pandas!
I loved it! Was a tandem jump from 10,000 ft, had about 30 seconds freefall (including lots of cool spins!!) before the parachute opens ( ouch! like turning a corner on a roller coaster, and you're attached by your armpits to it!) and you get to glide along, and of course lots of big turns and spins. To do really deep spins both ppl have to be in the exact right position and also put a lot of thier weight into the turn pulling on the chord, and guess who kicked ass and done some huge-ass stomache-churning spins? Me! Wooho!
We eventually came to land on the airstrip, came down gently but ended up on our backs with the parachute over us lol. I got a bit tangles, but was safe, had landed!
I'll see if I can get some pics up here, but might have to divert people to my bebo. Will update!
Once again, thanks so much for all the support and good wishes from you all. I really apprreciate it, and know that the money is going to a great cause. Im glad I managed to do it, and that's all down to your support.

Please know that it means a lot to me that you've donated, and it's going to a very worthy cause. Their service provision to vulnerable young LGBT people is vital across Scotland, and we're always striving to reach those who are in most need. Your donations will help this.
Please pass the message on when you can, it means a lot :-)
I care a lot about the work of LGBT Youth Scotland, not ( <<<< info about them at the side <<<<)only do I work for them I'm now begging you to donate some of your hard earned cash so that young people across Scotland can get the services that they deserve. Please dig deep! I've jumped from a height of 10,000 feet for goodness sake! And no need for flowers ;-)

Oh, and if anyone's not sure about donating online then there's a helpline available Monday to Friday from 9am to 6pm to answer any questions. I's a local rate telephone number - 0845 021 2110.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure.
It is also the most efficient way to sponsor!!!
LGBT Youth Scotland will get your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer (which we ALL are as we get V.A.T. on everything we buy etc.) an extra 28% in tax will be ADDED to your gift at NO cost to you! This is money back from the government so we should all be ticking the box.
Again, thanks for your support.
