Mother's Day

I’ve bought my mum some pampering time at a day spa, and made a donation to Oxfam for the setting up of women’s refuges – perfect gift for Mother’s Day!

My car is carbon neutral!

Finally got around to donating money today. Seventeen trees are going to be planted which means I can drive my little car around, knowing that I’ve offset my carbon emissions.
Last Christmas

I bought all my family Oxfam presents as well as ‘normal’ presents. I felt so good doing it, knowing that my small donation was making such a big difference, so I’m going to make sure everyone who gets a present from me, also gets a donation on their behalf. Maybe this will encourage them to do the same?
