> With the gift card, I went to Sainsbury's at Braehead, and bought:
>
> 3 x tins of Celebrations
> 3 x tins Danish Butter Cookies
> 3 x boxes of Terry's All Gold
> 3 x boxes Tea time biscuits
> 3 X boxes Cadbury's biscuits.
>
> The Three tins of Celebrations were given to Boots Kilwinning ( 1
> tin) and Ayr (1 for pharmacy and 1 for CHS)
>
> The Three tins Danish Butter cookies were given to Buckreddan (2 x
> tins) and 1 to the residents of Hawthorn Place Sheltered Housing
>
> The three boxes of Tea time were given to - 1 to the remaining staff
> at Boots Ayr, to be put into the break room, 1 box to Creggan Bahn
> care home, I know i shouldn't have any, but I must admit they are my
> favourite care home, and 1 handed into the residents of Robert Service
> Court
>
> The three boxes of Terry All gold were handed to - Mrs Elsa Baird,
> Kilwinning, I gave Karen, the parmacist in Kilwinning a box, as she
> had organised a taxi, at Boots expense when we couldn't cover a PM run
> for her., and 1 to Staff at Malin Court, Turnberry.

> The Three boxes of Cadbury's biscuits were given to Annie Duncan, Mr
> and Mrs Alexander and Johina McIntosh and, 1 given to Annie Palmer,
> who I know doesn't get out much.
>
> All the remaining care homes in Ayr received a box of shortbread.
> which, as you already know, I purchased before you announced the pay
> it forward scheme.
>
> Each one of the receivers had a look of surprise, which was quickly
> overtaken by thankfulness, which I guess just shows the whole ideology
> of such a gesture.

> Hopefully this will meet with your approval, I do not know if there
> was a particular way you were looking for us to allocate our spending,
> but I did think about the best way for me personally, as without
> either customer or Care Home, I would not be in the position to do
> this, as I would not have the job that funded this gesture, and
> although I did selective customers in Kilwinning, it was mainly the
> ones, with whom I seem to have built a bond with, they invite me into
> their homes and tell me stories about their family, and in some way I
> feel part of the family to them.
