Just got home from work the other evening and was unloading the car in the pouring rain when the daughter of a neighbour came over and asked me if I would sponsor her parents to both have mohican hairstyles in aid of some woman who is ill. I asked her who she was and she couldn't remember her name and also didn't know what was wrong with her. I told her to come back another time as it was pissing down and I wanted to get inside. I really don't mind giving to charity, but I like to give to ones of my choosing. I'm also really skint at the moment. Anyway, haven't heard anymore and thought they'd obviously forgotten about it when the doorbell rang this afternoon and the father was stood on the doorstep asking again. I should have told him that I didn't want to sponsor them for something I know nothing about (the sponsor form he had in his hand was a handwritten scrappy piece of paper) but instead I said i didn't have any cash and to call again later. Hopefully DH will be in and he can deal with it! I might add that they often come round asking for money for something or other and I have given to things that I have been aware of in the past. AIBU to say no? It is probably genuine and they are having their heads shaved bloody hell they are going to look awful but I don't like the assumption that I will give. Much prefer to choose who I give my money to.
