Attack solution donations..

MSE_Martin

Having read the above, and having seen the 'Martin Confessional' booth in the past I would like to formally announce.

"For those paying off their debts, and who are very diligent, and were offering to donate £5 to the site, I hereby give a special dispensation allowing you to spend up to £5, (although diligently ensuring less is sent if possible) on be spent on booze (unless you're also a member of the AA thread), chocolate, crisps (unless you're also a member of the dieting thread) or any other single small pleasure of your choice in order to celebrate the safe return of the site."

Thanks Martin, OH has just come home and bought a bottle of wine. It's not just any old wine. This is Marks and Spencers wine.............:rotfl: and in true DFW style I shall raid the 'trick or treat' sweets we were saving for tomorrow and pinch some choccy ones for us to eat tonight:rotfl:

£5 I have. Now I'm taking back some food to Asda £1.50 that I can put towards a bottle of SP vodka and I'll still have enough left over for SP coke!

Thank you Martin. Do you think we will have to confess to this on Sunday or does Martin's dispensation above mean that we have "1" free ticket to spend (bit like a get out of jail card)???

Exactly! Hic. Burrrp....

Lovely to see the support for MSE.

Demonstrates that this is not "a web-site" but a community of people who care, by and large, for each other even when doling out tough love and are generous in giving support and help even to people they did not know.

It is as if DFWers do not really comprehend the word stranger but embrace them enthusiastically.

ooooooooooh, Martin..........I'm dieting so can't have chocolate OR alcohol!!!

Ok, I confess, I've just bought 2 jumpers online for the winter as I don't own one:o .......guess that kind of wipes out my £5 'spends' though.......:p

EDIT: I couldn't find a code on MSE for any money off my 2 jumpers so I'll see the £5 as my 'Martin money off code' and wear my jumpers knowing I got it MSE style-ee!

Thanks Martin. Can I ask please how do you make money from the board if you don't allow advertising? I'm confused???

With that level of posts ... you must be rather myopic? Several links on the Home page ... dotted about the forums ... and generally footing each of the weekly Emails :-
