I have posted ,but at Tesco Caister we collected over six thousand pounds more then last year.We collected there from 10.00am to 18.00 hours.Like most fund raising. It is down to volunteers. So all charities welcome volunteers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floydraser Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 We've just had a new gas cooker delivered and installed today. Our fourth in 45 years. Things change don't they? I was dreading a change in regulations which would mean we couldn't go ahead but the only significant change was that it has to be chained to the wall! The main oven extinguishes the flame when it reaches the right temperature then re-ignites it to maintain it; to save on gas I guess. If they've been doing that for years it shows how old ours was! Biggest shock was £25 delivery, £100 connection and £20 to "recycle" the old one. Didn't bother with the last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracie Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Sometimes it can be annoying when you have people rattling tins for one thing or another every time you enter a supermarket this time of year but the Poppy appeal is something I always give to, I think it's such an important one and hats off to all the guys that lend their time to the cause. Well done Ian, you're a star I don't suppose I'll have any luck for Gracie's shoe appeal though x 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Our local Aldi has a "station" comprising a large table laid out with various items Remembrance Day related which is manned at all opening times by at least 2 people, sometimes more.

bewitched Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Just when you think life can't get any better... sat all warm and cosy listening to the rain on the roof with the best company beside you and a refreshing drink in your hand, I get a call from the owner of my favourite website/forum to tell me I am the winner of their competition and will receive some of my new running shoes (£150) To say I am desperately in need right now and had no way of affording them any other way is an understatement, so I am absolutely chuffed right now.

Bikertov Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I love it there on the NNR - my mug coaster at work is even the same loco that's in your picture - No. 76084 ! If fact, we were there exactly this time last year, first week December, and saw the Santa Special all lit up. Very magical ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANTED Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Finally did something I’ve been wanting to do for twenty years. Went on the London Eye. What a fabulous experience, weather was bright and sunny and could see for miles in every direction. Certainly a different view of London to the one from the ground TED 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
