Hi there Dianne, I am so impressed with how much blogging you have been doing over the summer break. Well done and keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing some useful tips for how to reduce and relieve stress. I also find listening to music helps me to stay positive, that's why I listen to music a lot each day. I like to go for a walk or run, it's just great getting out of the house and breathing some fresh air.
What sorts of things stress you out?
Thanks, Billy
Hey Billy, thank you so much for commenting on my blog. Things that stress me out is that when there is a question from anywhere I get really annoyed and then I get angry.
ReplyDeleteThen I become stress. There other things that stress my but I can't remember.
Hey there Dianne, thanks for completing another activity. It's great that you've been working so hard.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed reading all the things that you'd take back to the 1930's. You sound like such a generous person. You might want to bring a few toothbrushes with you since you're bringing so many lollies and kinds of chocolate.
It's great that you are bringing blankets too because they will last a lot longer than food.
Great job!
Billy
Hi again Dianne, I've enjoyed reading your plans to raise money for families in need. You sound like such a generous person, giving away your spare clothes and food and also spending your time running a car wash. You could also have a garage sale or use Trademe to get rid of anything you no longer need. I was reading another child's blog and they suggested organising and running a performance evening.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever been apart of a fundraiser?
Thanks, Billy
