Very unmoneysaving but very kind act

Hi Everyone,

I just thought I'd write and tell you that we spent £40 at the weekend on presents for the homeless. I just figured, although in debt, we have a lot more than most!

We got some strange looks going round all the discount shops getting loads of toothpaste, shampoo and stuff.

Between us we managed to get 8 sets that consisted of

soap
shampoo
comb
toothpaste
toothbrush
and a bag for it all.

It felt so good to give to those less fortunate this Christmas. It's probabilly the most appreciated presents we have given this year.

    Well done, thats a wonderful thing to do, and I am sure it your gifts will be really appreciated.

    One thing that we sometimes loose focus of, in our MSE ways, is that money isn't everything!

    Well done! A local restaurant in town is giving Christmas dinner to the homeless - we would have volunteered to help but Hubby is too ill at the moment, so might do something similiar. What a great idea!
