Quote I’ll not have one as I have been offered plenty of thongs there adequate for me 😂 all the best of i could you just clarify for me please , were they offered ?, or did you steal them from the washing line again ?. more serious matters. thank you very much for your generosity guys , as always , youve stepped up to the mark (i never expected anything else to be honest) , and especially those guys that have sent money , but didnt want masks , just so that others less fortunate could get one . her good self has been grafting in the workshop since about 5.30am this morning , im not sure how many masks in total that shes made today , but it looks like fifty ish masks , have been made for pw members , and paid for by pw members , shes still in the workshop at the moment , and when she comes back into the house , well get them all wrapped and posted. shes already ordered and paid for the next batch of materials , and the supplier has promised to have them here asap. thank you very much for the praise , but our sacrifice is minuscule and not worth mentioning , the ones that deserve the praise right now are the nhs front line staff , theyre really going above and beyond at the moment , for many of them , things will be getting pretty rough , but theyre gritting their teeth , and getting stuck in like world champions , theyre the soldiers that have got our backs. several things have happened over the last few days , that have really made me stop and think . firstly , my sister had a kidney transplant last week , she was out of hospital within days , and her life has been transformed , the whole family is over the moon , but at the same time , remembering the fact that another poor family were in their darkest hour , yet in their dark hour , they thought of others . no words could ever be enough to say thank you. secondly , ive been collecting bins from pretty empty schools this week , and one thing that has been on my mind quite a lot , is the fact that most of the few kids in the schools , have parents that are front line nhs staff . we all know how rough things are at the moment , and how rough theyll be getting in the very near future , it saddens me greatly to think that some of those brave souls might not be coming home to their kids . edited to add very important stuff. these masks are just a barrier , they wont make you superman . remember to wash them and dry them properly as often as possible , and most of all , listen to government advice , stay in the house , and if you must go out , remember social distancing , and wash your hands regularly , and for at least twenty seconds . be safe .
