  • Hiya, you can send direct to the children so you get to pick who to send to, they love hearing from people and the parents take comfort in someone caring enough to take the time to write :) Thanks :j


    I've been corresponding with a gorgeous little boy since last summer, it has brought so much so our lives as well as his. It teaches my children that others aren't as lucky or as healthy as they are and they love hearing what the little boy has been up to and often send him pictures they've made or little presents. I'd thoroughly recommend it!

    A great big thank you to vikki-louise for all the brilliant work you do.

    Today in the works in Newastle-under-lyme they were selling all the christmas stuff off at 5p each. This included rolls of wrapping paper. There wasnt a lot left but the offer could be nationwide.

    Hey all, thought i would let you know i have popped into the works today (Bromsgrove) and they have 10 cards for £1 but they are not very good cards.

    Kidderminster sounds much better value for money!

    There are no signs up about them closing down or anything like that and the xmas stuff is at 33p, no big bargains in there just yet!
    Money makes the world go mad, the world go mad, the world go mad! :wall:

    I went into The Works in Watford yesterday, as the window was plastered with signs saying "Closing March 9th", but they didn't seem to have altered any prices at all.

    Will check again later in the week.
