    Avoiding MIL! :eek: She has just burnt a tea cake and the kitchen is a smoke-filled fall-out zone. Maybe, in ten minutes or so, when the smoke has cleared, I can knock-up a quick curry.

    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.......

    To save me running through 5 pages, can I get an executive summary of what this is about please? How's that for lazy! Sure I can help though, unless it involves drug purchases or something...

    SingelSue (signature=Keep battling on, I will get there eventually..even if I don't know where there is! Now a degree student and a carer to 3 disabled sons although eldest says he is more enabled than disabled because he can bend his joints further than everyone else and reach things others can't! Eeek)

    normally takes a holiday in an adjacent caravan to her parents who help with the kids. The person that donates their caravan can't this year and its the only holiday that she can take 'cos of kids / support etc so the idea came about of raising the necessary to pay for the holiday.....
    ...ebay....paypal.....carboots........

    lostinrates is making a list in the other place of people pledging to raise/ donate £20 to make this happen.

    Thanks Silvercar. Sounds a lovely idea, I'm in. Just to be clear, is Sue still planning to go on holiday to the same caravan park, or something different?

    I'm put my money raising thinking cap on.

    Do you car boot? I don't, but have loads from my late mum's house to get rid of if anyone near to west yorks wants to collect and boot.

    Same caravan park but hired from site, so nolonger cheap.

    It needs to be the same caravan park so that Sue can have her parents' support and help.

    Who is good at organising and is in that area who can give Morag a hand?

    I am desperately trying to catch up here.........

    I like Lemon Jellys idea of clubbing in for the booking fee and then looking at ebaying etc to raise the rest.

    How much will the deposit be? I will happily bung a few quid in SS paypal towards it.

    Um, there is a new thread?

    Cleaver your a bright lad, any ideas?
