Hi Everyone, hope you are all nice and warm on this snowy day.  The sunny south east this definitely is not.  It has been snowing on and off all weekend and the roads are sheets of ice but its well worth walking outside to enjoy it while it lasts.  Hope you like my son’s photo, green leaves, orange/rust leaves and snow all in the one frame.

You guys have done it again! Thanks to all you DoneDealers, we have managed to raise €18,710.70 for this great charity.

I met with the hardworking folk at the Wexford Carers Association to get a feel for the work they do and present them with a cheque for the money you guys helped DoneDeal to raise.

The money raised by DoneDealers will certainly go a long way in their work to support carers in Ireland.

Yet again, it amazes me what DoneDealers can do, thanks guys!
