Title: "Children in Need"
Post by: mudge on Saturday 17 November 07 10:29 GMT (UK): Hi all
Could I suggest a small donation to the "Children in Need" from past and present
satisfied customers / postees in the UK

for the free friendly service rendered by restorers on this site
You could just acknowledge your intent to do so without any mention of amount, so it does not become competitive!

If this is out of order "Moderator" please remove with my apologies

For donations:-

Post by: Abiam2 on Saturday 17 November 07 14:06 GMT (UK): Frustrating!

I have just tried to make an on-line donation to Children in Need and although I have stated EUROPE as the area they won't accept my post code as it is not long enough!!! This also happens with FindMyPast.

Donation was to be made in appreciation of all the good and helpful work done on Rootschat,

Regards, Abiam

Cheers,

Post by: mudge on Sunday 18 November 07 09:52 GMT (UK): Thanks for the suggestion China :) :) :) I'm sure it would help ;) ;)
But, sorry I didn't learn that language at School :( :( :( :(
It sounds like a good idea, I think :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\
I recognised a few words, but when strung together, the underlying proposal seems to have evaded me :( :( :( :(
Can you try again, and help improve this (and maybe other) Silver Surfer's computer literacy ??? ??? ??? ??? (or in plain English, how the h*ll do you do that ??? ??? )

Hi Mudge,

I think China means a link to the website. A url is the website address that appears in the tool bar at the very top of the screen. I assume she means a URL to the donation page but I'm not sure.

I just gave my son some cash to put into the collection they're having where he works...seemed easier to me!!!

Love d xx

Post by: mudge on Sunday 18 November 07 16:46 GMT (UK): Cheers deddie, I have Harry to thank for that, although I would have thought it through eventually (I try to tell myself :-\) I've got to the stage where it's nice to let other people to do the thinking for me ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I have even delegated the controls of our new HD TV to my wife, as I've not time to read the instructions :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-[ :-[ :-[ I blame RootsChat for that though ;) ;) ;)

Post by: chinakay on Sunday 18 November 07 19:57 GMT (UK): Ah, sorry about that, Mudge...I trust the foreign language has been translated by now ;D

Donation made. A very easy transaction to do, with PayPal (although the currency conversion rate stinks at the moment :P).

A nice thought, Mudge.

Post by: nicwnacw on Tuesday 20 November 07 21:16 GMT (UK): I think that all of us that have had such good 'service' from these pages should donate to Children in Need, so much dedication and pleasure given to others deserves a reward.
