Yes I did break my word that I would not be spending any money on anything.
Well we went to Halesworth and in a charity shop I saw a brand new very large Teddy Bear for £3.50 so I had to have him. The lady who walks my housebound friend's dog several times a week (courtesy of The CInnamon Trust
https://cinnamon.org.uk/) takes her courage into both hands as she says and gets various pubs etc to do raffles every Christmas to raise funds for MeadowGreen.

Just had to buy the Teddy and two charities benefit. Plus my neighbour cannot wait to see the lady's face when she hands it over today. We walked the dog yesterday as the Cinnamon Trust vol was helping out at a Christmas Fair.
So a donation to a charity shop has done more than just raise funds for the Elizabeth Hospice. Finished my Christmas presents/cards and decorations shopping so will not be buying on Cyber Monday either
