    The 12pk carling is £6.67 in A in scotland. That suggests its 3 for £20 down south

    I think I'll wait for a MSL/COS double whammy though

    ive just had another look and this one has 83 days until expiry :j - so very likely that it will be on 2 cahbacks at once or even better the womble option - you have to collect the small receipts you would not normally collect :D

    Good morning all, trust you are all doing ok.:)

    Had a mixed weekend, some friends from London came to stay which was lovely, and gave us a kick up the backside to get some things done round the house, but tinged with sadness because we had to take our very old and much loved dog to the vets to be put to sleep on Friday. He was the best dog we ever had we were very lucky to have him for 14 years. (he's the one at the front of my avatar pic). All part of being a responsible pet owner, but the hardest one we've had to do. We now have to see how our little one gets on as an only dog without his best mate. :A

    Sorry to read this. :(

    VT your paintings are amazing!

    I see others have put some alternative links for shoeboxes. I really like the sound of this one:

    http://linktohope.co.uk/shoebox-appeal/filling-shoebox

    I like the fact you can do shoeboxes for the elderly as well.

    This worries me a little bex as me and oh have a joint account so firstly I am not sure we can both link to the same bank account from our seperate ppal accounts. Secondly our bank account has both of our names with first and middle name initials followed by our surname. I wonder if the bank would change it to full names :think:

    Edit: having said that, oh has had the bank linked to his ppal for years with no problem withdrawing money.

    I don't think anybody with normal paypal activity would encounter any problems. It's the adding and removing of various 'credit / credit cards' that flags up the unusual activity on the account which does it ;)

    Just found this link as well, which details a lot of the articles written about Operation Christmas Child:

    http://www.inminds.co.uk/occ-articles.html

    I have no problem with religious material per se, although I am not religious myself. However, this goes well beyond simply enclosing religious material with the box, as can be found if you just do a little bit of research on it. I don't want to be controversial at all, hence why I've suggested people do their own research, but just want to point out that the slick marketing of Operation Christmas Child is quite far removed from the actual reality.

    I'm sure places like local hospitals, womens refuges, old peoples homes etc would all appreciate donations of shoebox type gifts.

    I didn't know about Samaritans Purse until recently, where I read about it on another forum. On there, Samaritans Purse came on and threatened court proceedings against a number of posters on the thread. Is that really the action of a christian organisation? Anyway, am sure people on here are quite capable of making their own mind, I just thought I would bring it to people's attention as I am sure there are many people, who like me until recently, weren't aware of the full ins and outs of Operation Christmas Child and the organisation behind it.
