Children In Need

Its a night in for me tonight :(

True I could be out having a few pints and games of pool at Belle Vue with Muscleman and Northern Boy, but I was knackered after a massive gym session and Hockey training just a few hours later.

But I guess I picked a good night to stay in anyway as tonight is Children in Need with the sneak peak of the Doctor Who Christmas special :D thank god for BBC iPlayer

At the moment I'm a little over an hour in and there hasn't been anything especially good entertainment wise but that normally dosn't happen until later anyway so it hasn't been especially disappointing

However, this year more than ever before the clips of where the money goes to help has made me realise how privileged I am. I can moan all I want about my workload and trying to fit in Hockey and nights out but I know I'll never have it as bad as the kids on there. This sparked an interesting idea; I'm a student without a paying job and as such don't have a lot of cash but I've stayed in on a night I had planned to go out so I must be able to afford giving atleast a little bit. With this in mind I'm going to donate however much my mates have spent at the pub. I don't know if I'm doing this as I want to because of the sad videos of kids or just because I'm trying to be more independent now I'm not living at home and before I just relied on my parents to donate but either way it can't do any harm can it?
