I had an idea.....

[Ally]

....a few weeks ago and am carrying it through.

I've always bought an advent calendar for our lads right up to last year.

With Jacob being in the UK this year, and after chatting to Conor, I decided not to bother....but had an idea.

What I've done is get a box and every day from December 1 to Christmas Eve I'm putting food, toiletries or 'a treat' in and on the 24th I'm taking it to the Los Ángeles Malagueños de la Noche.

They provide food and shelter for the homeless in Malaga.

I'm not looking for praise in any way, shape or form.

I just want to do a little bit this Christmas to help those less fortunate than myself.

It was a light bulb moment for me Kaz - I had, last week in a plastic container, lollies, jellies and chewy sweets that I've made into little parcels for my 5 & 6 year old littlies not to be opened until the 5th and 6th January and the date thing just clicked with me that I could do similar but for an adult.
