<p><span style="color: #000000;">Hi, once again I am going cardless this christmas, as everyone who knows me is aware I am absolutely rubbish at remembering to give cards at most times of the year and even more so at Christmas. Every year I buy tons of cards spend hours writing them all and then manage to forget to post them out. I started thinking how much money I have wasted doing this every year for as long as I can remember. Surely this money would be better spent helping animals in need. </span><a href="http://www.freshfieldsrescue.org.uk/"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Freshfields Animal Rescue</span></a><span style="color: #000000;"> is a charity that is pretty close to my heart as my mum and sister have had several animals from there and are both involved in fundraising for them. <br /></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">This year instead of buying Christmas cards that will just clutter up a cupboard for twelve months before I give up and throw them out I am going to donate some money to Freshfields. Please consider doing the same, I promise I won't be offended if I don't recieve a card. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Just think what that £5.00 you normally spend on a pack of cards (that ends up in the recycling bin a few days after Christmas) could do for an animal in need of care. It could provide food for a week for a cat or maybe go some way towards a vet's bill.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I'm sure that anything that you can give will make a difference.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Merry Christmas and Happy New Year</span></p>
