To say to the charity collector....

[KimiTheThreadSlayingAxeKiller]

....who waved his bucket at me and said "spare change for the disabled love" (as I was trying to get my mother off a bus in a wheelchair) "Lovely how much are you going to give me for her"?

I did stick a quid in, but his face was classic

hehe

Kimi- you are a very naughty woman, but oh I wish I had been there!

I have a very specific disability and a well-known charity campaigns for it in our city. They give you those boxes to fill with cash in your own home. The money is then collected and redistributed amongst 'sufferers' of the disability. So do I just fill it to the brim then spend it? It's my share, right?

id love to have seen his face.not alot you can say to that is there?

vivia-too right!

Thats brilliant, Kimi

Very quick - well done!

Vivia, I like your style

Think I will get mum a collection box

Oh brilliant!

HAH!

Hee hee

I always say when asked to contribute to charity (now I have no income of my own) "Sorry but I already sponsor a child and that takes up all of my spare money".

I don't, however, point out the child I am sponsoring is in fact my own...

I started the day with the baby blues but after reading this i am feeling on top of the world thank you ladies!!!

DH used to give over enthusiastic street collectors a run down of our finances when we werereakky broke and if they were overly pushy.....that worked but i'd always slink off in embarassment

Thesedays Imostly hang my head and scurry past- being that thereason i'm on benefits is two disabled children! Always feel guilty though

So not unreasonable then
