I've seen them on the Facebook page Soupy, so yes they are still taking them

SoupDragon · 17/04/2019 15:36

I thought there was a date in April they were talking them until but I can't remember what that was.

Oooooh! I might just sneak in by the skin of my teeth then :o

Thank you - I can never find anything on Facebook.

TheWoollybacksWife · 17/04/2019 17:02

I can usually find things as I only have Woolly Hugs, DS's sports club, the local mafia residents association and about 4 friends 😂

SoupDragon · 17/04/2019 17:05

I have a similar amount but I still can never find anything 😂

There are some real beauties aren't there. I reckon that the two thirds mark will be achieved. I posted 2 on Monday. We're off to Wales on Saturday - hope we've got good WiFi so I can keep up with everything being posted.

There are some absolutely beautiful blankets!

In wonderful news our Fife Group are able to bring one more child over this summer, so our Chernob target will now be 136!!

So technically two thirds will be just over 90 now Gin

They're traumatised. Poor things.

SoupDragon · 19/04/2019 13:38

I forgot to post my old pound coins in the end.

KnottyAndPistey · 20/04/2019 12:10

You can pay them into your bank Soupy.

Buy a few balls of Jaffa and fiesta with the proceeds.
