    It's Here!
    It's now!
    The Grand National Sweepstake
    s9621.gif

    £2 a number, each number relates to a horse randomly selected by FC.
    Put your name next to the number you want, then re-post.
    Once (if) the list is full, just start another list.
    Horses will be revealed just before the Grand National starts.
    The owner of the winning horse in each list chooses a charity from Justgiving or Virginmoneygiving, then I will set up a charity page and people pay for their horse to the chosen charity.

    This is totally random, and the only winners are the chosen charities, no matter what David. says :D
    It was great fun last year, and raised over £300 for two great charities.
    If 2 people post at the same time, it is the first one to post that gets that number.
    It is all bound to go tits up with the list, so try to remember, its just for fun!!

    Thanks love. Who do I give my money too and how much do I give? I've not done this before so I am a bit unsure.

    You arrive at my house with a clarins goody bag and £1000 in cash tomorrow sweetness. I'll have a cuppa waiting for you :) :rotfl:

    Once the winning charity is announced DM will set up a just giving/virgin money giving site and you can pay your £2 there by card or paypal

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    The William Hill bet, is it really as simple as place a £10 bet and get £21 cashback? Or is there a catch?
