TV Shopping

The last couple of days have been more party than hard work.

Last night was PEP's volunteer party night and it was a joy...staff and volunteers having a real laugh...many of our volunteers came to us very isolated with little confidence but you'd never have believed it. On average the volunteers 'give' PEP 1250 hours per month which is staggering. It requires a lot of management, flexibility and care but is very worth it to see people grow in confidence and skills.

Today, was Helen's final day: a leisurely and fun lunch with lots of happy remisicence and tonight, my mother who hasn't been too well recently, came round for a couple of drinks and some television shopping (her favourites QVC & Gems TV - and she's too poorly to wander round the shops)...it's a different way to spend a Friday evening, and my dad, if he was still alive, would have disowned us both!
