    aww i would do it for anyone...

    but can i ask you all something... what type of card shall i get to put the money into? it needs to be a card as if she is still at the hospital tonight i will have to post it through the letter box. Would you get a 'thinking of you' card or a blank one?

    I would go for a blank one personally... thinking of you just reminds me of condolences type cards and thats not the case here. I would go with something neutralish like flowers/painting/landscape type thing and write something inside a bit more personal?

  • going completely off the subject here... just read your thread and I would be very wary of Sainsbury's.... they have a knack of just reducing limits on credit cards to £100 then charging you for being over it (whether or not you have a 0% promotion). They won't tell you either if you've missed a payment/gone over the limit, they'll just do it anyway! I don't have one personally but it's happened to three people I know in the last few months..
