loom bands

Loom bands have become very popular in the u.k. one day girls at my school said they would make loom bands for my classmates I thought they
looked good so I asked for one.
Later that week my aunt from Australia came over with her friend and his kids and suddenly the boy(now my good friend) handed me a loom band and I thought to myself is this fate?! But after said they were very popular in aus saying he could get a tin of 5000 for $5.00 now later on he taught me how to make them and I can! (Very proud of myself) and I can barely go anywhere without somebody noing what one is!
          But with all big trends their is the rip-offs shops are now selling them and I discovered a shocking fact in the Works I can get a pack of 300 for 99p in tesco you can get a pack of 300 for £3.50!!(but the colour quality of tescos is slightly better) crazy right!
People are also making them into bow rings and bouncy balls with many tutorials for them on YouTube. People are also criticicising the trend check out Becca's 5 reasons not to make loom bands on youtube. Do you think this is another short term trend or is it a new craft express your opinion in the comments box below!

anti homeless spikes :(

As there is a sudden out break of anti homeless spikes in the U. K ithought I would "just speak my mind on this subject"
Do you remember the days when you could go over to a neighbour and ask for some sugar? Or as my mum would do collect empty juice bottles to give back to the man in the shop so he could refill them? People used to be very helpful (as some still are today) but now people are putting down spikes outside shops and house to not let a fellow human rest and get some shelter how is it right? How is it the right thing to do?
It is not that homeless persons fault that they are homeless sometimes it is to do with a lack of benefits or relationships they are just human like us. I was so glad to hear that people concerted spikes outside a Tesco metro store then later removed completely!(read the full story at huffington post U.k)  so next time don't just walk past a homeless person and stare say hello smile have a conversation he is human right!
