            Lots of good work with the food bank 
 When my dad left me and my mum in dire straits I was 14, I can't remember much about the finance side of it because at that age my main focus was boys There were no food banks in those days but I don't remember having gone without. My mum sheltered me a lot from the harsh realities of life, bless her. I do know that a teenager appreciates toiletries though, it's easy to forget the older ones.

            Your posting about the food banks really helps keep it in the forefront of my mind, and so I donate more than I would otherwise. We also see the reality rather than the daily mail version of life.

            Thanks for the reminder to donate. I will do this today. I still struggle with the concept of food banks in our country in 2019, but hey ho.
 Have a good day Beanie If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
