Become a Hero.

Today I donated something bright red,

not from my purse, but my arm that bled.

An hour of my time, a blood filled pouch,

It doesn’t hurt, I didn’t say ouch.

The nurses are kind, they pour you a tea,

they even offered a biscuit to me.

I relaxed in the chair, the needle went in,

my donation of blood, was about to begin.

All I done, was sat back and felt calm,

knowing 3 people, could be saved by my arm.

More could donate, but choose not to give,

if only they knew, they could help someone live?

A LOVING blog to EVERYONE.

(This is one of the photos, of items that I packed in a rucksack for the homeless at Christmas.)

I would like to tell you about an amazing idea that was started by a single kind hearted person.

THE RUCKSACK PROJECT.

http://www.rucksackproject.org/index.htm

Last Christmas, with the help of my family, we took part in a non-profit charity event.

The idea is, you fill an old Rucksack with items to help the homeless at winter/ Christmas. Items like: Gloves, Scarfs, Hats, packet food, tinned food, toothbrush(new), coat, pen and paper, old sleeping bag or blanket, shoes.

You don’t have to put all this items in, they are just suggestions. Some even put packets of dog treats as many homeless people befriend and look out for stray dogs.

My last donation, I managed to produce 6 Rucksacks to donate, plus a large bag of extra items that family were still giving me to pass on!!! (As I have done this a few years now, I have also started adding; a Christmas cracker, small Chocolate treat and a card with a small message of hope)

The website gets updated with your nearest homeless shelter drop off point.

I just wanted to share this information to spread the word and incase any of you would like to take part.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING THIS POST TO THE END. xx xx xx💖💖😀

Challenge accepted ! ☺

Firstly, thank you to everywordyousay for setting me this challenge.

Here are the rules:

List 10 things you love.

1. My children, 4 well mannered, caring lads.
2. My parents, who love me no matter what.
3. My older sister, who gives me a kick up the bum, when I need one. Lol
4. Mc brain’s Faggots, used to eat them with my grandad all the time.
5. Marvel & DC Superheroes, brave and strong.
6. Garden peas, can eat bowls and bowls of them.
7. The word ‘shenanigans’ makes me giggle.
8. Horror movies, an excuse to curl up on the sofa with popcorn.
9. Blogging/friendship, both have picked me up, from a dangerous, rock bottom.
10. My rabbit “Lex Luthor”, so tame and affectionate. (Not evil at all, lol)

List 10 things you hate.

1. Crowds, I feel like I’m suffocating and can’t breathe.
2. My birthday, the attention of people looking at me, makes me panic.
3. Noise, when there is too much noise going on all at once, the pressure builds up.
4. Arguments, seeing people get tense and angry makes me feel scared and unsafe.
5. Coleslaw, no idea why, but I cringe if I touch it.
6. Things out of place, I have to keep my things in an exact order.
7. Over opinionated people, who won’t back down and shout in your face.
8. That some people don’t have homes and have to live on the street
9. That some people don’t have family and have to cope alone.
10. That I can’t solve every problem.

I now nominate:

1. Smilebe4tears
2. Tessa
3. thepersistentplatypus
4. jennymarie4

Sci-Fi Vs Make up.

While most girls liked Barbies and dolls,

I prefered Lego and trolls.

Ladies dressed up, looking glam,

Whereas, I was more a Star Wars fan.

They wore their heels and push up bras,

I just hoped there was life on Mars.

Superheroes, Marvel and DC,

Just watching them, could help save me.

Male strippers think that they are super,

But I would rather have a Stormtrooper.

Mascara, lipstick, extentions and nails,

is what they use to attract the males.

Cosplay costumes are more my flavour,

a full sized Yoda with a green Light saber.

A nerdy girl, is what best describes me,

living in ‘virtual reality’.

‘Science fiction is an addiction’. x
