    Yes on the wines 2 for £10 and 3 for £12, what are you after QoC, don't think port as cheap as last year as not a half price one on at the moment. But saw a half price champagne.

    And snap posted about the snowballs think they are 2 for £5 but 25% coming off full price. ;)

    Bit of red, bit of white, bottle or two of ruby port and champagne pour moi :rotfl:

    Right then.

    There was NEVER any doubt in my mind that the money that has so kindly and generously been donated would go on anything but flowers first and foremost. That was always going to be the case, as was donating anything left over to the hospice.

    That absolutely will not change. At all.

    Having read through, it would seem to me that "ELITE" is the way to go. While I like "MAD", I think that some people might find that in bad taste at a funeral.

    Someone earlier suggested that "MSE" might come across as advertising, and I kinda agree.

    Someone else also said that while we are here to save money, there are tines when it's not right to, and my personal feeling is that I agree with that too.

    So unless anyone has any huge objection, I think we should still go for "ELITE", as was the plan right at the beginning. There'll be a card with the flowers which we can use to explain ourselves :D

    I didn't do this for "thanks", pats on the back or to make me feel good about myself. I did this because it's the right thing to do. And all I'm doing really is collecting the money. You lot are doing the rest :T

    Through Thrifty's JG page and the collection, there has been over £1500 raised in Mad's memory. I'm pretty sure that he will be bouncing up and down on the clouds with glee. And we've achieved that in just a few days

    You should all be giving yourselves a big pat on the back :T well done everyone :T :T :T

    Now, where's that vodka???

    We know that you didn't do it for "thanks" but the "thanks" is well deserved. Someone always has to take the lead that someone was you :Tfor the flowers and Thirfty for JG:T
    I am amazed at what has been done in memory of Mad. Its just so sad and reading about him make me wish I had joined the elite a little earlier.
  • Climb up to the top, you will appreciate it!

    But I would be annoyed if I have a leak for 2 years!

    Been on scaffolding lots of times, I'm a stonemason :D

    As for the roof, the council said we need a new one but will have to have a temporary repair ( they said wont last) as they have no money until 2017.

    Cant moan really, some people are alot worse off.
