    Ah goodness Tuna that is just horrendous - I'm so sad for you and your family.

    Beanie I hope the funeral went off as well as possible and was more a celebration of life. I've always felt that the right sort of funeral should involve as many smiles as tears.

    A gentle reminder to you all.
    If you possibly can can you please donate an item or two to your local foodbank for the hampers.
    Most FB's will be making up the hampers next week so they have time to get them organised & the delivered.
    Thank you so much :)

    Sad to hear about the funeral :(

    Tuna - I am so sorry to read your absolutely horrific news. There are no words.

    Food bank wise, at work we have a cupboard where we can put donations for local food banks then every so often someone takes whatever is in there to them. We’ve also adopted an inner city school and volunteers help the children with reading and maths. Tomorrow the children are coming to us to sing carols which will be lovely.
