At the Il Divo concert there was a poor man outside as we all filed out onto the streets, begging. I decided to go and talk to him and give him a bit of money towards getting a hot drink / something to eat. I found out his name was Edward and that he had been homeless for 15 years! I think I was the only person who actually took time to stop and talk to him. Most either ignored him, or just put a few coins in his hat. Wish I could have done more!

Pay it forward challenge completed (though I only got 3 people interested in the first place!) I have sent one friend a Baby Name book, to help her decide on a name for baby 3! My crafter-friend got an Amazon voucher, as i had no idea what she might need! My friend I worked at the pub with got a Boots voucher, as she's v v pretty and I thought she could treat herself

2) Today we visited our local Dogs Trust and donated a load of old towels and sheets, instead of just sending them for recycling! It did take a bit of persuading mum to part with them, but feels great knowing that they are helping some animals, instead of spilling out our linen / towel cupboard!

I'm doing a 'pay it forward' challenge. Sending 5 people from my facebook or blog a gift before the end of 2014! They have to join the fun and do the same for 5 people too! I have 3 people so far
