I put all my stamp collection and covers in two big bags and took them to the vets for them to raise money for rspca and pdsa.

Having worked for PDSA, I wouldn't recommend it - it is only for people on benefits, no other animal qualifies for Veterinary help. Would have calls asking for help, but couldn't do anything but suggest RSPCA. Also had bereaved pet owners bringing left-over food and treats after the death of their pet, which because of the lack of system, would be given to people helping out in the shop (some of which would give to friends, who didn't even come near the shop). Plus, there were other more disturbing abuses.
All very sad when caring about animal welfare - and the amount of items binned or sent to landfill was very, very upsetting.

Yes and ourRSPCA shop are as bad or where as bad, i havent been in it for a few years now, after leaving a deposit late one evening, going back next morning when they were opening up and then the man in the shop decided he wanted it for his friend, so I demanded my deposit back from a sulky faced man who suggested i would like to donate the money, I told him where to go and havent been in since.

Good morning! Mil has been keeping me on my toes, but coffee and tea were ready by 6 am plus the breakfast pancakes. Washing is also in the garden as the sun is still shining. I have another stamp question: what is better - camera or scanner for getting images? Now I will turn to my sewing so that daughter's dress will at long last be ready. (only one sleeve to set in and a bit of hemming.) after that another little sewing job and I can then concentrate on something els

Morning - had fun and games with my PC last night doing a Virus scan. Apparently, there were a couple of nasties that took some getting rid of

Now I'm running all the security stuff I can find to make sure all is OK.

Been busy with Freecycle over the weekend and got rid of a load of stuff and there's more still to go.

I actually have some ironing to do - only a couple of items - but I know my wrists will be protesting afterwards.

But first another mug of tea.

It's not those pesky buyers trying to find a way into your computer again is it Private Mcc2 ? They will stop at nothing !



I don't really think it matters with scan or photos Private Meebo what ever is easier for you. It will depend on how good your camera is though on taking close up shots of small items.

A busy day today sorting out the YDC stuff but at least O/H has gone off to Wales for an exam board meeting so I have a bit of peace and quiet !

Thanks, sarge and enjoy your quiet day
