Trip to Diggerland!
I made £125 and the whole family got to go to Diggerland for my digger-mad son’s 4th birthday - he had bucket loads of fun!
A weekend by the coast
I took the grandkids away for a weekend by the coast. It’d been years since we'd done this together and everyone loved it.
A Radley handbag
From the money I received from VCC, I got a brand-new Radley handbag. It was time for a treat.
