No, I linked directly from the site I took the wallpaper from. Dunno why it`s not showing.

Dont worry mate , youll be fine , the Elizabeth Duke January sale is on now at Argos , you can pick her up a Diamonique Encrusted Novelty Clown pendant with real goldette chain for ( bit pricey but itll be worth it once she drops her velour leisure suit bottoms when she sees it )
ensured that I couldn`t read past the red haze which had clouded my vision....not to mention the tears.

Speaking of Charity Shops (and steering the thread in a safer direction!) has anyone noticed how commercial some of them have become?! I do 99% of my clothes shopping from charity shops, and which shops I buy from depend on what they have at the time. Where I live, there are seven shops which I shop in regularly. Oxfam and the British Heart Foundation shops are the ones where I find most of the stuff for the teens, because for some reason they just seem to stock the more fashionable items, Oxfam is a little more expensive, but not too bad, but Cancer Research seems to be stocking less and less secondhand stuff, instead running thier own lines, and the other day I rapidly put a pair of boots back down which cost 75 quid! :shock:
Now I`m not bitching at the money they are making, the more money they raise for thier causes the better, if it is going to the right places, but I shop on a needs must basis, and I need to shop on a charity basis. When I shop at these places I`m giving and taking charity! Cancer Research is not the only charity shop which seems to be blowing me out lately, and I have to wonder if the commercialist aspect, which is maybe funding the administration costs, is overtaking the charity aspect more and more these days?

Crikey, what the hell happened here?! :shock:
Obviously everyone on this thread cares about others less fortunate than themselves. Some support causes which are closer to thier hearts than others, but support we do. Whether people choose to support those in this country, or those in others, at the end of the day they are all helping people. Perhaps our gripe should be towards those who take take take, and who care for nothing but themselves..........
BTW, I also support animal charities, so where the crap that leaves me I dread to think :shock:

You know when you wake up and think maybe I should not have sought attention on this one
Bolloxs to that. You needed a hug, and I for one don`t mind offering one (((hugs))). There`s always someone worse off than yourself, but that doesn`t negate that life is still pants sometimes!

((((((Shireen)))))) Thanks hun, we were in a situation where the council/housing associations wouldn`t have helped either, if the worst had come to the worst. You should have been backed up by the various charities in this country who make cases like yours a priority, like `Shelter` or the various womens hostels we have. I`m so sorry that did not happen for you.
I think most people are touched by the scale of this disaster, and how it is snowballing, and when that happens we tend to think more in terms of `humankind` rather than `countrykind` (for want of a better word) , which isn`t neccesarily wrong. The aid these people receive will have a huge influence on curbing the aftermath of this one off devastation. However, I agree that we should never stop caring about those in this country also. I hope we all have the capacity to offer support to both, and I respect all those who have taken the time to remind us all of the issues facing those in this country also. :love:
