Amazing......

They say that the ones with the least give the most don't they.  This has been proven true today. At work we had a non-uniform day for Children in Need.  We asked the children to bring in a silver coin in exchange for not wearing their school uniform. Most of our families are on a low income, many are single parent households and over a third of the total children in our school are on free school meals.  Money is tight in most households, especially leading up to Christmas. Even so we managed to collect £170 for the charity today.  How amazing is that!

The children are starting to get excited now, Christmas will be knocking on our doors before we know it.  My son's birthday is on Boxing Day too!  This year I've been very lazy and opted to buy many presents on-line.  As we both work during the day, I'm lucky enough to have my Dad living locally so I arrange to get my parcels delivered to him!  Dad is on his own now and gets very lonely.  You know, he loves having all the deliveries turning up at his door as he gets to speak to someone.  Some of the drivers he's on first name terms with and they stand and talk for ages with him.  Bless him.

Only 4 weeks left at work till we break up, where has the time gone.  It seems as if the older you get the fast the year goes doesn't it.  Although the children disagree - they say it drags!

Have a lovely weekend.
