No judgement is nice, BUT if any of you were at the caravan site I was at the weekend and when your little boy peed on a towel (he wasn't even 2 years old) you dried him with it inc the piddly bit on his face then dried your even younger little girl with it, then passed it to your husband, however much I applaud the hubby bit :T(because he was a gobsh*te who kept yelling at the kids) you made me feel sick when it came to the kids! Disgusting!
OMG lil_me I would totally agree with you there - GROSS AND DISGUSTING!

Thanks Lil_me... would you believe it, the site's blocked by my work firewall :mad: (one of my money-saving efforts... use work broadband, laptop etc for personal stuff but it has its limitations :rolleyes: )

Agree with you 100% about the parents you mentioned!

Polka - if Valli isn't around (and I'm sure she has a better way, in fact that's probably what she's doing now ), fold it in half/quarters and iron the middle bits, then hook the corners round the ends of the ironing board to do the sides. They never look that great, but it'll get it dry.

For greenbee (because she's as tight as a kippers xxxx :rotfl: (I'd do the same!!!) and anyone else who can't see it )

Don't throw your old bras away - Donate them to charity with the BreastTalk.co.uk Bra Appeal.

We're asking for all your old bras as long as they are in good condition and straps and clasps are in good working order. Send them to us and we can distribute them to charities throughout the UK and overseas.

There are many women across the world who for some reason don't have a bra. They may be homeless in the UK or living in a country where the price of a bra is more than a meal for their family. The BreastTalk.co.uk Bra Appeal is trying to help these women by collecting and distributing your unwanted bras to charities in the UK and abroad. A bra is something that all us women take for granted. Imagine being a 34DD or 36FF and not having a bra to support your breasts or wearing the wrong sized bra day in day out. The extra stress on your back can cause all kinds of problems including back-ache and back problems later in life. There are many women in the UK and around the world that put up with this every day. The BreastTalk.co.uk bra appeal is here to help them.

We will be sending the bras to various charities in the UK and overseas.

The first charity to benefit is Centrepoint who help homeless women and men in the UK. Their emergency hostel in Soho, London have a real need for bras to offer the young women who stay at the project. One project worker explained how they tried to squeeze a 'well endowed' young woman into a training bra and it wasn't ideal!!

If you belong to a charity or organisation that could make use of the bras we collect please [EMAIL="carol@breasttalk.co.uk"]email us[/EMAIL] with information about your group and we may be able to send you some bras. What types of Bra can you donate?

• Any style - but not too sexy or see through
• Any Size - Especially large or small sizes
• US or European sizes are fine
• Maternity or Nursing bras are fine

• Please post all bras to the address below in a small Jiffy type bag or box.
• YOU MUST wash all bras before you post them.
• Check the straps and clasps are in working order and there are no rips or tears in the material.
• Please attach a small piece of paper to each bra with the size. Use a paper clip and attach to one of the straps.
• If you are sending new bras please let us know they are new.

Please Note: We do not have the facilities to accept large quantities of bras from companies or large organisations. We can only cater for individuals donations.

Non UK Donations: Unfortunately we can only accept donations from the UK or European Union.

Post your Bras to:
