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! 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!BCSC # 9 and proud! :beer:0
