    Totally off topic but I'm taking part in a sponsored swim on 5th June to raise awareness for childhood cancer.

    One of my friends baby was diagnosed with leukaemia when he was 6 months old. Two years down the line he is a happy, healthy 2.5 year old who, last week, had hopefully his last ever treatment.

    His parents have set up a new Charity - http://www.bechildcanceraware.org/ - and this swimathon is to raise money and raise awareness of childhood cancers.

    If you could sponsor me just a pound or 2 out of your hard earned MS-ing money please PM me for the link to my JustGiving page.

    Thank you

    I could have swore that this is a mystery shopping forum and not the charities bored, keep it away please Tractorgirl.

    Have you turned up to wind people up again? If so, please go away again... :(

    TG did say it was totally off topic - if you don't want to get involved just leave it... :(

    I'm not trying to start another arguement on here, but please don't post inane comments on the Alerts thread, it's a complete waste of everyones time. As you stated you know it's the Alerts thread, then why post there if you haven't got a job alert???

    Thank you.

    agreed!

    Wow looks like we have a troll - see you've not posted for 7 months & even then you were a troll.

    If you don't like GAP being called Gyp or TG asking for money then why come on here?
