    Thats very kind and I believe that you have done similar before to those in need with the smaller gifts :D

    I am not aware of anyone in in great need but would help someone if I could Got quite a bit of stuff for the food bank just need to get it there. Might get DD and the kids to take it What a good idea :T
    .

    Each Christmas I do bags for some special people and their kids I have worked with some of them I have been doing it for 10 years. I store stuff up all year for them.

    I had previously set up a charity in the area that I worked so that we could meet emergency needs, Tesco were great at giving us things. When I left the job, I kept an overview of it for 2 years but had to hand the reigns over when I started working away from home. It provides toiletries, clothes and toys to fleeing/desperate families. I think they may still have stock from the big A glitch!

    More recently, a childhood friend (and some of her friends) has just set up a food bank where they live, it is one of the most deprived areas of the UK, so I think I am going to start helping her out, she is a true star overcoming many issues that would curl most people's toes. I'm hoping for some healthy glitching!

    Evening all.
    Hope everyone is ok :)
    Her mum loves her loads, but struggles with her mental health and is dependent on benefits. I had given her some gift vouchers for Boots, she was going to buy shampoo as they did not have any shampoo for a week! DS2 said I would do a bag of toiletries and told her to get treats. I filled two large bags, and now keep a bag that I fill up for her.

    I am old fashioned and think that kids should be kids without pressures of life.

    I bought her;


    PANDORA CHARM BRACELET - STERLING SILVER
    21ST BIRTHDAY CHARM
    BLUE SPOT MURANO CHARM
    OPENWORK ABSTRACT DETAIL CHARM
    REINDEER PENDANT CHARM

    Which includes her Christmas present...god I hope they are will together at Christmas!:D:D:D
