Now and then it's time to feel grateful for small mercies and lend a hand to support a good cause - no matter how hectic our life is. I'm at bursting point right now with a full-time job, freelance work on top, PTA duties (always a pleasure, never a chore!) and training for breastfeeding support. The house really needs a good clean and my daughter is asking for attention too - she has learned to read and write but needs a bit of help with her homework. I also really enjoy spending time with her, especially now that she is going to the afterschool club five days a week - I don't want any guilty trips to up my stress levels!
But back to good causes, I've been sent a lot of emails lately, but I always reserve a blog spot for Breast Cancer UK with its worthy Tickled Pink campaign. I'm too late to talk about the Stand UP To Cancer campaign, a joint Channel 4 and Cancer Research UK project that culminated in a fundraising extravaganza hosted by Davina McCall, Alan Carr and Dr Christian on Friday. If, like me you missed it, there is still time to donate - click here for more information.
So what has turned pink this month?
Facebook aside, it's Fox's biscuits, specifically:
