I teach students, and have so far given away a wardrobe and some bookcases as well as giving them frequent cups of tea and coffee when they pop round to see me.
Once a year I also have a BBQ for them

Improve your home's energy efficiency - 14 Oct 2005
My daughters and I do tend to get cold, but we all have fleece blankets on the backs of our chairs!!. We have recently moved back to our house after a flood, and tonight I am going round the rooms that don’t yet have curtains and putting them up, all lined of course!!

Have A Fairly Traded, Ethically Sourced, Especially Tasty Dinner - 02 Nov 2005
last year I asked my students if they wanted to do the normal thing (secret santa) or give money to help othres. They chose to give money and we raised £70 for send a goat and the staff also joined in…which meant we had £150 altogether!!
We are definitely doing it again this year!

Shower More, Bath Less - 14 Jul 2008
I love my baths, however have not had one now since January as the plumber installed a new bathroom suite. The bath was is shallow, there is no point in having one, so I now shower as do my daughters! I also switch off the water in between soaping etc so save even more!
This is Dot’s profile page.
