Charity Fund raising for a new children's Hospice

My wife is trying to raise £500.00 as her contribution to the building of a new Children's Hospice in Ipswich, in Suffolk.

She has started a new blog, Jack's Charity Train, regarding her efforts to raise the money. And this this the charity organising the fund raising appeal.

Have a look there to see how she plans to raise the money. It's a bit different, and not going to be easy!

Where I sell my stuff

I have started a website where I will sell the stuff I make. Let me Explain.

I am 58 and work part time as a wood work instructor. I like the job but I also need to pay the bills. So I have been looking for a full time job for months now, with no success. Oh, I have applied for a few and got interviews. But no jobs. In the past, I got all the jobs I applied and got interviews for. No longer it seems. I get the distinct feeling that I am now considered too old by most employers. Can't prove it of course. It's illegal to discriminate on ground of age these days. No one is going to tell me, are they?

So I am now a self employed man. I am decided to attempt to turn my hobby into a proper small business and sell the stuff I am going to make. I don't expect to make a fortune, I can assure you! But hopefully to add to what I earn from my part time job, sell knives and leather stuff, carve signs, really anything I can think of!

My new website is to be found here.
