To wish that charities would stop sending me tat

[grumpyoldbookworm]

So far this year - socks, gloves, sticky labels, greetings cards, a small clock, a torch and worst of all, coins! Does anyone want their donations to be spent irritating the public by dumping rubbish on them? There are many excellent charities that don't do this and I'll give money to them instead!

A PITA.

Register \link{http://www.mpsonline.org.uk/mpsr/\here} as well as with the TPS. I've found it works OK - but if it cuts down on only 50% of your bumf, it's better than nothing. For a freebie.

Soo annoying!
We get at least 3 of those charity bags through the post in the week, god knows how they expect us to fill them with spare clothes every week! They do make good bin bags though!

It's even more annoying when you do put clothes out and they don't collect the bag..! There's one sitting forlornly on my doorstep now that is in the third layer of plastic, as the first two organisations just ignored it...!!

I used to give by monthly direct debit to a childrens charity, I got so fed up with them writing to ask me to confirm that I'd keep giving or to increase my donation, and sending me crap through the post that I cancelled the direct debit. Perhaps if more people did this they would learn to stop hassling us. Its a shame that it had to come to this but it was driving me nuts!
