Give it to the priest . I’m sure it will go to a place where it’s appreciated . Someone somewhere will have a leg up.
And it will cost you nothing.
If you do this, I will chuck £500 into it
Boss man weeksy... any thoughts?

Nice of you. I'd give it to a refugee couple who are being moved into a flat on Friday next week. Short notice, but it is not a hotel, which is better as now they can cook for themselves. We are giving them a gift (personal) and hope we can get the church to give them something for towards new clothes and so on. They have lived on £8 each a week, and buses are £2 a ride into town when they volunteer at Oxfam twice a week. So they spent all they had on doing good for others.
Proverbs 17:9
One who forgives an affront fosters friendship, but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.

Well potter. Some months ago you put up a thread proposing members of this forum should donate some dosh for a worthy cause.
If I recall, nothing much came from it. Resurrect the thread.and let’s see if we can all give the priest some dosh to give for those who need a leg up

When you see the shitty petty arguments on here, @the_priest always stands out above the idiots.

Indeed he does Yorick .
As you say..... game on. From time to time I have some dosh in the shoe box. More than happy to put it to a good cause

I decided to go practical and put a new shed in the garden. I can break up the other 2 and filter down the contents of the shed-of-plenty!

The Shed of Plenty, MkII?
Think of the stuff you can cram in that and forget for years! Excellent work, sir!

Got a delivery date for the shed for the 26th of this month and secured some free labour and materials for building the base this weekend. All its going to cost me is the price of 9 concrete blocks (c£23). The other bonus was the shed was in a sale so I got a free wooden base (and keysafe) so I don't have to build one now.
