SHELTER ... helping homeless people

Just a little thought ...

I've had a rotten day at work and I moan regularly about the fact that I have to work at all. I complain about the endless piles of washing and ironing and I grumble at my kids for not helping more, there is never a moment when a bed doesn't need changing, a room doesn't need hoovering or a bathroom needs cleaning, but .... tonight, while it's bitterly cold outside, I am sat here in front of a roaring fire in my 'Penguin Onesy' Oh yes, pure class that's me!, the Christmas tree is up and decorated (white lights, free hanging balls and no tinsel) and presents are beginning to appear from the organised people in our house. We are not going to have a Champagne and Caviar type of Christmas but we are looking forward to a feast of some kind, we won't go hungry and we won't be cold.

But ......

At this very moment there are many, many people out there on the streets sleeping rough and I have no idea what keeps them going. They will be cold, hungry and desperate. If you are warm right now and you're not hungry and you're looking forward to a cosy, happy Christmas and you possibly can spare a couple of quid for Shelter then please sponsor us at:
