Ydc 103

[NuttyKrafts]

Great choice for the ydc! I may have to list fewer items for this one, our baby is due oct 4th, so won't have time for that many distractions!

It's great that you're joining us so near to your baby arriving, looking forward to seeing los of pics.

Can't think of anymore "Frank" stories for you today - you had to be there for most of his humour, he would say things with such a straight face, I was never entirely sure if he was serious or not! One of his many talents was woodwork, I'm hoping to get something he made for the YDC. Not saying anymore about it yet, you will have to watch and wait!

Frank sounds to have been a bit like one of my neighbours Jim. On the first night he & his wife moved to this area Jim looked out of the window just before bedtime and said "How on earth are we going to get to sleep with all this racket going on?"
Myra, his wife, fell apart laughing - you could hear a pin drop in the road as where we live is one of the quietest areas in the locality!

Congratulations apennysaved on about to become a parent! This is such an exciting time - do you know if you have a boy or a girl waiting to arrive? Yes, do post some pictures - that would be lovely.

They do sound similar, that's the sort of thing Fank would have said. I had forgotten to say he was from Lancashire originally ( Manchester )

Bumping this up before it gets lost in the undergrowth.

Hope you're all doing your finger exercises in preparation.

Well done Poppy. You just need to state which Charity will benefit from the proceeds. The nominated Charity this month is LOROS but you can choose whichever Charity you wish to benefit. And also you need to consider whether or not your item is an entry in the YDC competition it you want a chance to win. If you win the competition element you get to nominate the Charity for the following month. If you want to enter the competition element you need to put that in your listing.
re Payment - paypal using the gift option maximises the amount for the Charities. This month NuttyKrafts nominated LOROS so monies will be sent to Nutty to pass on to the Hospice.

edit: if you wish to fund raise for another Charity of your own choosing you need to put which it is in your listing. And you will be responsible for forwarding monies to that Charity.

So I would send the money to NuttyKrafts via paypal as a gift? I assume we are given his/her email addy to do this??
Competition element.... I just put that into my description on the listing? Or the title? Do I put what charity I would nominate if I won?
Every question I ask seems to beget more!! lmao

Nutty will advise you of how to make payment to her for her nominated Charity.
I usually put the competition element at the start of my listings followed by which Charity will benefit. (In the description part of the listing).
No you don't put in which Charity would be nominated if you won - that would come later.
Don't worry about the questions - it will all fall into place. Ask if you need to - there are lots of helpful souls about.
