    Yay to our TV star beanie!  Hope you get some donations from it.  Our local food bank actually put out a message the other week saying they were full so didn't need anything urgently.  I was amazed, but pleased for them.

    Congratulations, beanie, I'm glad it went well - like the others, I hope the fb gets some extra donations because of it.
