I am signing out . I will be thinking about that little boy ,the poor little lad . I have had a very busy day clearing out cupboards and drawers . I can’t believe how many winter scarves I have , two thirds of them will go to charity .I have posted my cards and parcels today . I like to post them early then I can relax .Good night everyone.
Good morning everyone . I woke up at 12-45 couldn’t get back to sleep so I came down for a cuppa.I hope everyone else is asleep .it bitterly cold out and the wind is very strong .
Good morning! Picking up my Christmas tree today. Then work this afternoon. Trying to be positive about a very busy few days ahead.
@Ladybird4 glad you enjoyed the food bank, I and a few others in the family do a “reverse advent calendar “ where we collect 24 items for the local food bank. I also try to always buy one item for the supermarket collection every time I go in. I don’t really notice it and every little helps, well done to you and your friend for giving up your precious time to help. I have not followed the story of that poor little boy too upsetting for me but I try to remember that it’s news because it’s rare and the world is full of good people like you.
Good morning Ruby and Debs and all to follow. Poor you Ruby I hope that you have managed to get back to sleep now - there is nothing worse than having a disturbed night. Ruby you get 10/10 for your organisation. I must get my bum in gear!
Debs, a friend of mine got a real tree at one of the bargain shops for £9.99. She is going back to get another one. Good luck with your search today. Thanks to you and Biglad for your kind words. I felt it was the least I could do. Like you I buy extras when I go to 'sco for their collection box - which is always well stocked. Through the food bank pets are also catered for so I get a tin of food for them.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Rubee, sorry to hear about your disturbed night. Try to rest today and stay at warm.
It's snowing. There is just a few snow patches on the ground, but it's snowing and it's cold. It's already Friday and I hope that it will not be stressful. My friend told me that christmas cards arrived in post office, so I might go today and see what they have. Bread rolls are in the oven and I can have my tea now.
Morning everyone, We had a sprinkling of snow yesterday, it must be cold outside as it was still there late afternoon. Its disappeared now. My voice is coming back, but I'm now full of cold.
The news about that little boy really upset me, how could his own Dad and step mum treat him that way. His grandmother reported them several times, but strangely nothing could be found till too late. Repeats of the other poor little ones that have died previously 😥 The little boys mum is in prison for killing her boyfriend. How did the system let this little boy down.
I've just read about that poor little boy, what a horrific story. Glad I didn't read it last night.
I'll post all my Christmas cards for family and friends in the UK today. Back to France tomorrow, have to leave at crack of dawn as I have to have a Covid test at the airport. That was stressful as the French Gov had announced it but hadn't updated their website. Very sudden.
We are going to the friends of the church cocktail party this evening but mustn't stay too long.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
