I like this idea because it reminds me of the value of being content with what I have, and encourages me to look beyond myself.

My OH has connections with a children's charity in Leeds, and I think they take gifts collected this way, so hopefully, that's where ours will be going.Fiona Lloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01803986871462903904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-85786162131827104352017-11-25T15:21:02.228+00:002017-11-25T15:21:02.228+00:00Thanks, Sue. xxThanks, Sue. xxFiona Lloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01803986871462903904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-58942701223612588212017-11-25T09:59:56.596+00:002017-11-25T09:59:56.596+00:00A great idea š The whole self-indulgence thing fr...A great idea š The whole self-indulgence thing frightens me.
