AIBU GoFundMe addiction

I've recently become addicted to a Gofundme campaign. Every time I press refresh the total raised has jumped up and I don't seem to be able to stop.

I'm trying to stay within Mumsnet rules here, so obviously I can't link or promote it.

Does anyone else have this enjoyable problem?

Would that be the Jennifer James gofundme?

Me too! I am hoping for any known friend's name to come up as I am hoping beyond hope that at least one of my sensible friends is actually still sensible. But there are so many anonymous donaters that they may never appear.

Who knew a saturday morning could be so exciting.

I know, it is fantastic. I just hope they spend it on kick ass lawyers that do some serious damage.

YANBU.

I am reading a book. But I just can't help having a quick refresh and check each time I get to the end of a chapter!

We have been advised that a legal challenge to the Labour party on this could be winnable.

Teardrop Fingers crossed.

Yes! I’ve seen this too. Will definitely donate.

Redonionricedpotato · 13/01/2018 12:46

I’m so excited by the thought that this could be won, but worry that it would provide added impetus for self ID to be pushed through?

GuardianLions · 13/01/2018 13:03

I think if you search for 'women' on the the particular funding site it is the top campaign at the moment. ..

MyAimIsTrue · 13/01/2018 13:06

Why will it be deleted it it's linked? I've never known that before.

jeaux90 · 13/01/2018 13:06

I've donated. I keep refreshing it too Grin

Stopthetrain · 13/01/2018 13:10

It is wonderful to watch the fund grow. I found it difficult to find the page without the link.

OddBoots · 13/01/2018 13:19

There's a nice update on the page, pretty amazing that 190 people have donated so far, it's only be a few hours.

PocketCoffeeEspresso · 13/01/2018 13:22

I keep coming back to it as well. #VOTESFORWOMEN!

PoirotDidIt · 13/01/2018 13:25

I've literally just bookmarked it in order to check later!

HemlockSpartacus · 13/01/2018 13:26

I love the choice of image for it too, so appropriate

irretating · 13/01/2018 13:31

Over £4000 now Grin

PoirotDidIt · 13/01/2018 13:37

THanks for tip off. As Labour Party member I was happy to donate. Like it say trans can have own place and yes would not be against a certain percentage of places. But don’t let’s take them away for woman lists.
