    They have started their 50% off sale on line............. Please consider buying from here rather than supermarket and high street store cards. Charity receive 100% of the profit from these cards as opposed to the paltry amounts paid by the high street. A charity close to many peeps hearts I know ....

    Some lovely cards .............

    Thank you for posting this...I always buy charity cards, but hadn't thought to buy directly from the charity. I am absolutely convinced that any charity would be very grateful for people buying directly from them (and a few people more thanks to you), whether half price or not.

    Somewhat surprised to read one of the comments here - of all the threads started on these pages to help people save money, indulge themselves/others, buy longed-for items, whatever...yours only deserved support and thanks, in my opinion. Happy New Year. xxx

    Thanks for sharing Morgy - some people are SO judgmental.
    Clearly the shops want to get rid of the cards at this tme of year to make room for other stuff.
    If you're well -off then you're free to make a donation any time you like.
    If you're not you're free to send cards or not send cards as you wish.

    These forums are fantastic in some ways, but it's a shame people are so judgmental.
    I'd consider I was doing some good buying their cards at this time of year and if I want to make additional donations or not then that's no body else's business.

    This brought back memories for me - kept me occupied for hours as a child! I remember creating huge woollen snakes and crunching endless packets of sweets (not recommended!) at the same time.
