    Please can I ask what exactly is a snowball - what is in it and how much it works out per bottle?

    my oh was so impressed by te wine savings it would be very easy to persuade him to do the same over the weekend. I think snowballs would have to go in a seperate shop though.

    Snowballs are a bit of a weird drink, .... advocatt.

    I love them, but my parents used to let us drink them at Christmas from an early age.

    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???

    I have a couple of small objections.

    1. Can we as a group show, some sensitivity to Mads family please.

    Thank you.

    2. The word "ELITE" is going to be very bold. Perhaps we could go with, "Elite".

    I'm sure Mads family tributes take place here.
    Back to square one, no apg, no comment.
