    Thanks. Had a look at the site when you originally posted and will definitely do something about it. Happily bumping this post by entering this message.

    That's a great idea - I went over to the site and read some random profiles, the first one I read touched me so I will send her a gift even though I haven't won anying in ages (nothing since January... oh well.)
    :DWins: January: Wall.e game
  • Thanks for the link, great idea. I've got a couple of bits and bobs hanging round that I'll send.

    I'll PM a BG to see if this can become a sticky too.

    It would be fantastic if they would make it a sticky :)

    I see that vicki_louise who started this thread has also posted a comp on the main board to win a Toblerone. At the time I looked, only 12 people have said thanks, presumably because they have not bothered to look at the competition for such a small prize.

    I did think about bumping the competition on the main board to make people more aware of the good cause, but thought better of it, as I know that people don't like bumping, but then I thought well, I could bump this one and perhaps get a few of the people who read the IWIWIW thread to consider entering it and spread the word.

    Here it is if you want to enter it.

    This is a really good idea sending unwanted wins to poorly children and it deffineatly should be made into a sticky or maybe mentioned in the weekly newsletter. Maybe if we all pm someone at MSE Towers it will happen, I've pm'd Martin:D
    to be updated:;)
