Well I failed miserably with Novembers actions, so here goes with the new one for December if anyone is interested that is! Enjoy if you do use it, all the best x

Thank you Katey for sharing this. I had never heard of these calendars so you have completed today's challenge!
I will send the details to a few friends who may be interested.
I think it's a great idea and even of you don't manage to complete every day's challenge, if you complete some of them, you have not failed!
Tomorrow should be ok for me to complete as I have set aside tomorrow to revise our monthly bank donations to the various charities ready for the '2019' list. There are a couple that get a 'Christmas bonus' so I'm hoping that will count as tomorrow's challengehmm
Keep it up and let's see how we go!
Any other Gnetters willing to give it a go?

Well I’ve made a start - my annual donation to Crisis.
Meeting friends tomorrow for lunch so should be able to manage a few kind comments ?

Day 1...✅ (as I shared the calendar with Gransnet).
Embarking on Day 2 task, still thinking, so will report back.

I couldn’t do Day 1 because I don’t know how to ‘do share ‘ on my iPad , I did Day 2 yesterday before I read the calendar, hope this is a ✅ because I can’t afford to do it again today sorry.

Kateykrunch Sun 02-Dec-18 11:51:51

Annie, well done for Day 2 ✅, you could do Day 1 today, by posting on Gransnet that you are embarking on this and that others might be interested, the more the merrier ?

Kateykrunch Sun 02-Dec-18 14:51:27

Day 2 ✅, just been to the Christmas Wreath display at the church in the next village and made a number of small donations to aid their charities.....now whats Day 3?......

Anniebach Sun 02-Dec-18 15:22:11

*Katy”. That would mean a ‘meme’ thread, do you mean just post it on any thread?

Kateykrunch Sun 02-Dec-18 16:49:55

Lol Annie, well this thread is looking like a MeMe one. Go on, signpost other GN’s to see what they are missing!, otherwise its just the 4 of us. You could put it in chat and title it with something intriging, that would mean you had shared and you get your ✅. Good luck lol x

Anniebach Sun 02-Dec-18 18:33:51

I don’t do intrigue but I do Welsh, that wouldn’t work though. But - I shared

Kateykrunch Sun 02-Dec-18 19:10:43

Fabulous Annie and in reference to my Day 2 action, I’ve just had a phone call to tell me that I have won one of the Christmas Wreaths, Yay! ?

Izabella Sun 02-Dec-18 19:14:06

What a wonderful idea.

Anniebach Sun 02-Dec-18 19:19:26

Congratulations Katey

Hello *Izabella’, I thought the same when I found this thread

Such an inspiring calendar, will try and print it off and put it in my diary.

It has reminded me to give our annual donation to the YMCA to get a youngster off the streets at Xmas so that they can be warm and safe.

NanKate Mon 03-Dec-18 08:22:28

Yes meant to say Well Done Katey for highlighting this great calendar.

Anniebach Mon 03-Dec-18 10:03:33

Knew I would fail on Day3, my brother should not have phoned me whilst I was still in bed ?

Kateykrunch Mon 03-Dec-18 11:21:17

Annie, the day is still young, I am working towards my ✅ for today, I hope you have a lovely day.
NanKate, thank you, what a nice idea for your donation, have a great day.
Welcome Izabella, I hope you enjoy taking part.
See what I did there?, I am earning my Day 3 ✅, off to continue my kind commenting and it is all from the heart on this rainy dull (in South Yorkshire) morning.

Anniebach Mon 03-Dec-18 13:19:06

Easy for some, I have to phone HMRC and CITB ? but I will keep trying ?

Kateykrunch Mon 03-Dec-18 13:42:22

Oh crikey Annie.....good luck! x

Squiffy Mon 03-Dec-18 13:56:19

Typical me - late to the party!

Great idea Katey!

Annie good luck with your phone calls. You manage to hang on to your sense of humour despite everything that Life chucks at you ( I don’t do intrigue but I do Welsh )!! tchgrin

Anniebach Mon 03-Dec-18 20:13:07

Squiffy only a little late what matters is your here x

NanKate hello x

Kateykrunch Tue 04-Dec-18 10:54:33

Welcome Squiffy, better late than never.
I am awarding myself my Day 3 ✅, well done me!
I am working on Day 4...might be a nod and smile day lol.
How is everyone else getting on?

fourormore Tue 04-Dec-18 10:59:02

Not doing too bad so far! Sunday I found a new charity so did the job properly rather than cheat which was my plan!
We went to a Royal Marines Band Concert and in the programme was an article on Troop Aid.
Too long a story to go on here but check out their site -
www.troopaid.info
The grab bags are so simple yet so needed!
Good luck everyone - haven't looked yet to see what I have to do today - typical me - things in the wrong order grin

Kateykrunch Tue 04-Dec-18 11:28:30

Oooo fourormore, will take a look at that, my lovely Dad was a Royal Marine!
Good luck for the Days, whatever order you do them in lol.

Izabella Tue 04-Dec-18 12:05:17

Well I am doing OK but not in any particular order. When I read through all the days it did galvanise me into doing something I said I would do a while ago. Left me with a little glow as the recipient was extremely overcome with emotion. tchblush
