We've had a difficult year as I've been ill and awful financial problems because Universal Credit is such a struggle to get in place. Anyway, this morning I had someone from the Salvation Army drop some things by.
Tea, milk, sugar, baked beans, pasta sauce, pasta, tuna, tinned fruit and custard. Also some mince pies and a christmas pudding. I was also given an Asda giftcard with £20 to buy food with. I can't tell you the relief that I won't need to worry about feeding my children over Christmas.
They also brought over (unwrapped) gifts that I have wrapped up and put under the tree. A Ty cuddly mobile phone holder for my DS, a craft set for my DD and a board game as a joint present. There was even a nice notepad and drinks bottle which I have wrapped up for myself! There was also a selection box each 
So a massive thank you to everyone who donates food and gifts at Christmas. You have made lots of families so happy - it really means the world to us.
