Spent most of the day in Oxfam today, helping out, had a really good day as we were so busy. I was on my own for most of the day on the till, as the others were sorting stuff out. The takings were not small too, we took a lot of money whilst i was there as the shop is huge. I came out feeling very pleased with myself.
All the time i have been working there i didn't feel like i was working for a charity as i didn't see where the proceeds were going or even how much we were making. But now that i have i can work out what my time spent there is doing. And trust me it is a lot! I really feel like i am making a difference and its a great feeling!
Lately i have been having really bad nightmares, i am prone to them anyway but they are really disturbing and some of the stuff that are in them is making me feel horrible. I am constantly waking up during the night which then leaves me not having a restful sleep and i am shattered in the morning. Any advice on what to do? I have a box of Kalms but i am unsure whether they will help.
I have just heard on the radio that another UK Soldier has been killed in Afghanistan. They should all be brought home and soon. Luckily my other friend in the army is in Devon at the minute in the Marines base, so thank god it wont be another one of my friends. But who ever it is my heart truly goes out to you and your family and friends x
We have heard no news about my friend's funeral only that it will be in our local church which is tiny, considering how many people there will be there is no way it will fit everyone in. His mum went up to Kent to bring him home Thursday, so he should be home pretty soon. Everyone is shocked and truly gutted at the loss we all have now in our hearts, now he is gone.
On a much lighter note i am reading The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and its great a real easy read and i cant believe i have not read it any sooner. Thank to my friend Rosie who suggested it, cant wait to get stuck in again later.
Considering its Friday the 13th, i have had quite a good day!!

Don't eat any cheese before bed! I think that's about the only advice I could give you. You've obviously got a lot on your mind right now and that's showing up in your dreams.
Talk things through with people, getting things off your chest might help.
When I watched the coffins coming off the plane, I thought of you. I don't know anyone in the forces so I don't know what it's like, but it is worry and yeah, they should come home.
Aww thanks very much, he was the first off the plane, whilst they were playing the bugle.
Its only when you have been in that position of losing someone you know in the war, you start to respect each and everyone out there. When you hear a soldier has been killed you see more than just his name or face in the papers, you see a person who has died and a family and friends who are grieving and are distraught at whats happened.
Its through my friends death that i have learnt this, i have always just passed it on as one of those things but each person, is a son or daughter, mother or father, sister or brother and a friend to many..
Get them all Home i say!!!
