Things that pee you off..

[Diasi]

Articles in the media, & now adverts on the TV, proclaiming that State Pensioners can claim this that & the other, without saying that it only applies to those who have done piss-all about providing for their own retirement.

Annoying but I don't waste my time reading them. Labour seem to want us all gone - we cost too much alive and they will be getting a bigger dip in the pot when we go. I am now determined to live well past 100. I may even join Brian's early morning running club which is packed with centenarians. Apparently.

An empty biscuit tin..

3 big tins of Roses sweets in the cupboard. They are part of Christmas Presents and they keep calling to me.

Don't do it Raven.. They will make you grow... all over you..

I have two tins in the fridge and Mr M keeps circling them with intent .

One tub of Celebrations, one of Heroes, both for Christmas. I've hidden them, so far I've resisted. 😁  I know how Raven feels.

Charities who TELL you how much you can send them..

KNOWING I've got two bottles of Baileys - one for DIL and one for moi 🎄

Charities who TELL you how much you can send them..

Yes,  totally agree.
Gone are the days when you could drop your loose change into a charity box on the street corner,  nowadays they tell you how much to donate,  and it puts me off straightaway.   Ruddy cheek!

I think its the Sally Army that ask on their telly advert for £19 or thereabouts!  

All that small change adds up.  My Dad always used to say 'pennies make pounds,'  and he was right.
But instead,  they won't get a contribution at all now -  not from me anyway.

Bit of a cheeky really.  Also in the supermarket these days, the charities often don't have tins but want you to sign up to monthly donations.

[dextrous63]

Or those ads giving you the option of donating a couple of quid a month.  Before you know it, you'll be bombarded with phone calls asking you to increase your donation.  Puts me right off.

I am sure that one of the ads I saw on the TV was 28 pounds.. To give someone a meal at Christmas..
I do not give to the (Greedy) charities.. who's bosses get paid big money..
Many people work in charity shops for free.. yet the overheads are living it up..
... and I will never give to lifeboats.. Even though I know they do a brilliant job..
The thought of them helping Illegal invaders doesn't sit right with me..

They seem to come up with rather precise sums such as £10.37 will feed a family of 4 in some place I've never heard of for a week.
