The kindness of my work colleagues in both the infant and junior schools.
One of my very close work mates came round after school yesterday to check up on me and brought 3 huge boxes of Christmas goodies that the staff had all chipped in.
Normal everyday things like pasta, tea and coffee,soup, beans. Christmas goodies, puds, mince pies, pantone peanuts, massive tin of quality street and gifts of candles, smelly gift boxes, books and a cd. Absolutely loads of things, more than I could afford to buy.
I burst into tears when the 1st box came in and was in a right state by the 3rd. Once Michaela (my friend) had gone I got all upset again looking at all the things and trying to imagine how much it all cost and the though and kindness that had gone into it. There was a big gammon joint in there that was way over my budget on it's own ! The boxes where all decorated too.
And I always thought most of the staff didn't like me because I'm not a Christian and am a bit outspoken on the subject.
Just goes to show doesn't it.
Thank you baby Jesus and all your friends.
