Def touched me, I have bought one of her books so she gets the royalties . I give to food banks on a regular basis as I hate to think of people being in food poverty . Then I watch the programmes on benifits and see people who's whole extended families who don't work through choice and they march down to the foodbank I think why do I bother. I know that's prob the minority but it frustrates me.
I still do give and the majority of my glitch ing is for others.:)

Made for tv they look for these people so the show has shock value and gets talked about and watched.

Since I wasn't feeling myself yesterday I can cheerfully report that I am now back to my cheeky chirpy self and once again feeling myself with fullest confidence

I just went to clubcard boost page and there is a banner for a Flash Sale on the 12th

http://www.tesco.com/clubcard/deals

I don't know what the deals will be but it shows that Odeon, Cineworld, Ticketmaster, Spafinder, etc are taking part.

If you are thinking of exchanging vouchers anytime soon you might want to wait to see what the deal is on the 12th

thanks

it shows 1 offer every few days if you click through

Thanks Emma for posting the blog link. It makes interesting reading.m

Like many others here, I never had a privileged upbringing. My mum stayed at home to look after us, my dad worked two jobs. Going clothes shopping was rare as most of our clothes were secondhand. Our house never had central heating or double glazing. If any of us wanted something, we had to work hard to earn it, whether it be household chores for a week, garden tasks or even our paper rounds. My paper round was a Sunday one, with ALL of the usual Sunday supplements, and covered a 3 mile radius.

Yet my parents still managed to take us away for a two week holiday every year, usually to a haven park. My parents did the best job they could with us with the very limited money that was coming in.

I always think that the things you go through in life make you the person you are today. You can go one way or the other. I generally take the "learn from it" route. It's what has made me the person I am today.

I have been in a similar position to the blogger. It's amazing how resourceful you can be when you need to be

Thanks Nannylala, you too. :A

The sun is shining and I'm planning on having a very relaxing Sunday.

I think I need it after throwing a birthday party for 35 five year olds yesterday. :eek:

They all seemed to have a great time though, especially dd2.

Just gonna leave this interesting article here. It's an account of one family's experience of modern day poverty. A real eye opener and I see echoes of it in my close friend's life

It is a pity that this article is associated with a link to selling:(

A very serious subject BUT the link to selling on it makes me

Glad you're feeling yourself again but couldn't help sniggering as I read your post. :rotfl:

I must take my mind out of the gutter.
