We all expect fair play but not everyone agrees what fair play is. :-S

In my own case it is solicited as it is for a charity that I can empathise with, my own eyesight not being that good and will probably require surgery soon.

In my wife's case the mail was unsolicited, but we'll keep the goodies.

My question is, how much of my donations has gone to the slick marketing and how much to the people in actual need?

We get an annual letter from the Foot and Mouth Painting charity with a few blank Christmas cards and a request for a donation.

We've never had any connection with them so I'm afraid it gets treated as unsolicited mail and junked.

Oh no AnninGlos he’s thrown all his toys out of the pram too.

My needs are simple, probably to match my mind :-P

You mean you really really want a fridge magnet?? :-D :-D

Not playing anymore, I'm taking my ball home :-|

That’s to encourage OH to make a regular donation, so don’t sulk but ask them where yours are. X.

Over the last few years I've donated quite a sum of money to an Australian Foundation that performs eye operations in remote areas both here and abroad (Fred Hollows Foundation)

Today two letters arrived from the Foundation, one for me and one for OH

Mine was the usual "Thank you for your past generosity and can you see (no pun intended) your way to bunging us another $50.00"

OH, who has never before received any correspondence from the Foundation, nor has made any donations, opened her letter which explained about the work done and also included a fridge magnet, note pad and several personalised address labels :-|

I'm still sulking!
