    Christmas has once again come and gone.
    Christmas has once again come and gone, the presents have been opened the turkey has been eaten,and we've all fallen asleep in front of the telly. I'm glad that I am able to report that our family meal was excellent, and that a good time was had by all, all 20 of us. The venue was wonderful and the chef did an excellent job, there was a pianist in the background, the waiting staff were excellent and the atmosphere was wonderful, even the children, some of which had been up since 4am, were well behaved...

    these tough times
    Tis the season for giving, especially to those less fortunate than us, but it seems nobody is immune to the credit crunch, charity shops would seem unlikely to be affected by the credit crunch because people always have stuff they no longer need, right? well, that seems no longer the case, an article on the Daily Mail details the effect the credit crunch has had on Oxfarm shops: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1101055/Now-Oxfam-charity-shops-struggling-hard-consumers-hang-unwanted-clothes...
