Spreading Christmas Cheer, One Box at a Time: Why I Still Love the Team Hope Appeal

I don't work or volunteer for Team Hope , but I do take part in the Christmas Shoebox Appeal most years—and it’s a tradition that goes way back. I started packing shoeboxes as a child in the 90s and 2000s, and I'd get so excited seeing the leaflets in my local church. Filling the box with toys, a little note, and pictures gave me a huge sense of joy. Now that I’m older, nothing has changed—I still get that same wonderful feeling of purpose and excitement. I especially love finding items in my local charity shop. Digging through all the pre-loved toys and clothes to find the perfect gift is half the fun! This year, I'm aiming to complete two boxes: one for a boy aged five to nine and another for a girl aged ten to fourteen .

Books I read so far in 2025

  January A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. This is a timeless classic about a scrooge who hates Christmas, who in the end after meeting a few ghosts has a new found love for life and for Christmas. Faith: In search of Greater Glory in Sport by Gerard Gallagher  This book is very well written. I could feel the topic of religion is very important on these peoples lives. Even the people who don't consider themselves religious, I felt were thinking some bit about religion. I did feel it focused a bit too much on people who played GAA sports.

It was a very good read nonetheless.   February The House of my mother by Shari Franke.  8 passengers was a YouTube channel I watched around 2018 to 2020 or thereabout. Little did I know what was going on behind the smiles for the camera and se...

Starting my weight loss journey again

On the 4th of January 2023 I wrote a post outlining my goals for 2023. One of them was to lose weight in a year. I originally set this goal to start from yesterday the 4th of February but I weight myself today instead. My goal is to lose 1 stone by next Christmas please God. This is my starting weight. I have not decided if I will weigh myself on a Saturday or Sunday each week. But I will decide that as the weeks go on. I will weigh myself each week if I can. I aim to lose 1-2lbs a week. My 1st plan is to cut down the days I have treats. Now I have them on Saturday and Sunday. I will cut it down to Sunday. I also plan to restart using healthunlocked website to log my weightloss. You can follow me  https://healthunlocked.com/user/CreativeKnitter That is enough of a change as I don't want to change to much too quickly. Starting weight 16 st 0 lbs Weight next week: 15 st 13 lbs
