Christmas Charity Appeal

[MariaLionza]

Just before the weekend I met our lovely Andrews!
Not only she showed to be a wonderful gal but ALSO GAVE TWO NOT ONE BUT TWO TOYS for our Christmas Appeal.
I really do hope this makes you feel guilty and most importantly makes you donate for this Christmas, not necessarily two toys, one is enough and you don't have to show it in case YOU think is not enough but we would love to know about it.

OUR CHRISTMAS APPEAL IS ON NOW.

Just to update everyone on my efforts.............

Four shoeboxes were sent into my son's school today (I'll try to post a link to a photo a little later). The kids did one each and I did two. So two aimed at boys and two aimed at girls. We usually try to put in things that will be useful plus a few luxuries so they each had:-

Pack of writing pencils
Pack of colouring pencils
A notebook and a small colouring book
A flannel
A bar of soap
A toothbrush
A hairbrush
Two pairs of socks
3 small packets of sweets
A pack of playing cards
A small toy (cars for the boys and cuddly toy for girls)
A small pack of hankies

Also at the week-end I took three Little tikes toys to our local hospital (a car transporter with 2 cars, a container lorry and a fire engine). These were originally my sons and are big enough for toddlers to actually sit on. I have kept them for far too long as I thought they were too expensive to just give to anyone and my nephews always loved to play with them but I now feel that other children should enjoy them. We also took up a huge box of duplo.

You are all wonderful! I still haven't received the game and not even b*ght the bear which is programmed for next week when I 'll get the toys to their final destination!

The person that has offered a toy and then neglected our holy Appeal will B*** in H***. They know who they are.

CORRECTION:
IT WILL BE VISITED BY THE GHOST OF THE PAST THE GHOST OF THE PRESENT AND THE GHOST OF THE FUTURE AND WE WILL NOT GO AND SEE THE FILM

I can't help it if people never tell me what films they are at so I can't bring the toy along!

I was not talking about you and nevertheless I've been deciding to go to the films at the last minute as there hasn't been anything attractive as far as I'm concerned

The toys reached their final destination! I did take photos of the person who took them but she asked not to put it on the web only to send it to the people who donated and that I shall do this afternoon after I return from my class.
Thanks to everyone, it was an adventure!

Sorry about the delay but the loft is now sorted and I have a huge pile for charity. I'm so chuffed I have my loft back and it goes to a good cause too

I'm sending them to Helped the Aged charity shop as it’s easy to get to but I think any of them would be great

Will take some photos later/tomorrow as I’m trying to find all the little bits that go with the garage, castle and fort, dolls house, barn and I’ve lost the little pig from the three little pigs houses…but I’m on a mission and I’ll find it

Thank you for sending the photos MariaLionza, and also for taking the time and effort to organise everything.

I just received the nintendo games I was supposed to add to the list for the Appeal! I had forgotten all about it, I'll wrap it in paper and and take it to the Salvation Army as soon as I can!
