    My employer is big on collecting for the local FB we have big dustbins in our refreshment areas to put things in. I try to put stuff in at least once a month. We also collect for sanitary poverty or a name like that . We had a big collection of toiletries recently as well for the FB.

    Beanie I am glad you got to go out , keep plodding friend . You are an inspiration for sure.

    Blimey, that sounds a good get together Beanie and Butti - apart from broken nose of course. :eek: :rotfl: xx

    Broken nose wasn't that weekend - think she must have been drinking even more than me :T Just making the point that she's not the only one who falls over or gets attacked by inanimate objects :T

    We did drink a lot though!!!:beer: Really quite a lot :beer::beer:
