Marie Curie to be exact.
When you have a shop, you get asked to do a lot in the name of charity. I say no to most of them, but then a get 2 or 3 requests a week.
I said yes to these ladies immediately, because they asked nicely. They are customers, our name, contact details and images went out on the invitation, a representative from the charity was there, and they had cardboard cut out nurses. I hope they raise stacks of cash.
I say no to people who ask by saying "I've never been in this shop before" "In this economic climate the chain shops won't help us, so we have been forced to come to you" or those who are nothing more than bullies, or those events where the charity element is merely to justify a ticket price.
or if you ask me when you are eating a sandwich, or if you ask me the day before the event.
I can't say no to the animal charities, those women know my weakness.
I think i have adopted 32 donkeys, 6 dolphins, and of course The Hound....

I have a special look for people asking for donations that aren't customers. Resulting in a few people stepping backwards, without me uttering a word. You should try it.
You also forgot to add that you went in on your precious day off to make them too. What an explosion of delicious colour to brighten a dull day and enable the joy of giving xxx
I saw this do advertised when we went to Nancy's wedding. Love the colours of the flowers x
I adore the vibrancy Miss P, how extremely generous of you but shouldnt be surprised at that. I am sure the ladie's eyes must have popped out in delight when they saw them.
Was going to pass by yesterday but got too embroiled in forms EXA1 and lengthy convos with the "Specialist service centre for Exports Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency" phew! What a mouthful xxx
My husband adopted a donkey for me for my 21st birthday. He wasn't my husband then but it didn't take long after that.
Ah,but are you sure you adopted The Hound or was it the other way round? I only ask because my Fast, Long Legged, Beautiful Bitch knows who is in need of support in our relationship,and it isn't her.
