in resenting funding dd's third-rate enterprise project when I could just give her the £20 they're trying to raise for a day trip?

[pointydog]

I have spent £7.50 for tickets to a fashion show (hmm, 'customised' clothes which sounds dodgy unless the SuperGoth group really impress), have given raffle prizes which I'll then spend a couple of quid trying to win, will be forced to buy clay people in jars from the craft stall for £3 and will have to fork out for a fingered fairy cake in the name of 'refreshment'.

Sound familiar?

Yes, it is about the enterprise involved
sounds 'fun'

Cali, how you have suffered.

dire

mine are forever coming back with sponsorship forms

I just fill in random names for made up people (WHY do I feel the need to do this) and bung in a cheque.

Can't be doing with knocking on doors and bothering folk.
