A good cause

Been out buying bits for the box. Deodrant, shower gel, mince pies,chocolatew orange. It's not as easy as you think trying to buy for stuff to go in a shoe box. But I couldn't resist these beauties!

I can see them going down a treat.

One of my local estate agents placed an appeal in the free newspaper for people to donate these filled shoe boxes for the troops.In three weeks they have recieved THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED filled and gift wrapped boxes.How fantastic.(they can't move in their office now)[^][^]

Dropped off 12 boxes collected from my workplace, at my local football team (Tranmere Rovers) club shop who are co-ordinating the efforts on Wirral. Every little helps. Politics aside these troops do a wonderful job and deserve a few home comforts.

Don't want to put a damper on things but heard a senior officer on the radio yesterday asking people not to send parcles etc because the sheer volume is hampering the deliver of mail from relatives.
