So most of you may have seen on tv about the fires that are happening here is Australia...Well the fires are about 45 mins to and hour away from me....that god i live in the suburbs and i am safe...but thousands of ppl are not...

so since things here have been so shit i have been out and about volunteering and helping out as much as i can...every spare time i have i head out to the victims centre and sort out clothing, shoes etc then i help make food packages ready to send out...on top of that i been getting things together to donate...i have been running drives with my friends....last week we got together a whole heap of new toasters and kettles and this week we got together a heap of baby items that is really needed, plus the food items that are also needed... My family and i are also fixing up and donating our family car..a 8 seater tarago...we decided that we no longer need a family car since we are all grown up...so we are going to fix it up and it will be donated with a years registration, a road worthy, full tank of diesel and a fuel card with it....so many ppl have lost every thing....there are currently 15 fires burning out of control and they are fearing a couple of them will join up and create a super fire...we are hoping that wont happen other wise melbournes water will be affecting and we are already in drought...as there isnt enough water to go around we are on restrictions on how much we can use....

so im still working my 55 hours a week...even tho now i have gone down to 2 families instead of 3...so still busy busy busy...

well best be off long day 2morrow, heading to work then getting together with a couple of mates to wash and iron more clothes to take out

peace out my lovelies xoxoxoxo

Good luck with your work! I wish there was some way that I could help. At the very least, I'll be praying for you and the people affected by the fires.

Wow what an amazing thing you are doing, especially your family car.

Wishing and praying for whatever strength you made need.

I've heard about those fires. I hope you are doing ok.

hey guys,

thanks for the kind words....its a bit smoky this end but its all going ok....some lil fire bug started a fire near park lands 5 mins from my home and caused a massive fire...and coz its so dry here everything is burning easily.... thank goodness they got it under control and it didnt get any houses...grrrrrrrr lil fire bugs its all we need....fires in the suburbs....

other then that not much else is going on..some towns are now rebuilding...as some towns were wiped off the map...and when i mean wiped off, nothing remains at all...its like just rubble...

so since its been soooo smokey here i been having nose bleeds grrr at that...
