    I am seriously bored with the save fivepence brigade.

    Lets get the money and let Sue worry about a discount.

    I need to know who is in and how much you think you can raise.

    I will harass Cleaver, Hamish and Chucky tomorrow.......

    ws, as with all my posts tonight, I hope this is taken in good spirit :)

    ... I do sometimes wonder whether you remember exactly what it was like being on the bones of your ar*se as I assume currently applies to me and Sue :o, once you have the money again it may seem trivial, but saving £5pp, pn, is a lot of icecreams, or a cr*ppy body board (but hours of entertainment) each etc :cool:

    Plus, if you are not in a position to give any money, but might be able to extend someones (or, their kids at least) enjoyment or whatever, this should not be dismissed?

    I trust this, as the rest of the last few pages, will be absorbed as educational :p:A

    Wagelave I do like you so much, you are one of my absolute favourite posters...and I think this is a great, wonderful idea, I am willing to get behind it, totally.

    Again I feel confident will know my words are not empty promise.

    But IMO if you push people and are rude to them they will not feel inclined to help and it will not make Sue happy.

    Right, as you say, moving on...

    Michaels...any chance you can throw the stuff into a box for Sue?:o (seriously wage slave might find you if you don't...)

    Christ ws, everyday I'm in charge of thousands of pounds, & very personal data- do you think I could afford to drink this much strongbow if I was trustworthy????! :D

    Only joshing of course- I am happy to do anything to help, obviously, but only if others are comfortable :)

    As for ebaying- I have nothing to flog, the last few bits of rubbish went last Autumn for the Xmas fund (to buy more rubbish.... :rotfl:) :cool:

    But any other way to help- I would be more than willing.

    Probably my best asset for the cause is my skin-flinty-ness. I am the broke chavster who holidays for 6, for a week, for approx £600....

    ...so whats the desired location Sue- PM me if you want, I'll don the sheepskin coat and sovereigns, you'll 'av the best deal this side of Walford m'luvv :D

    I trust you.

    Money isn't the object here, it seems trustworthiness is.

    I trust you SJay.

    You up for getting Sue her holiday?

    How far are you from sue? I think you are about 4 hours from me? (st albansish?) TBH, thats too far ATM, otherwise I'd do it, I love putting stuff in boxes, and god knows I'm well practiced in it!

    I cant lir - you are too subconcious :A

    Everytime I read a thread which looks like its getting 'personal', your posts have been edited :)

    I'd like to point out for security purposes, this is in no way wrong, of course, but it does give me less scope to 'slag' *, sorry :D

    * I'll work on it though :p:rotfl:
