last tuesday morning paul had a lucky escape when his bungalow caught fire cath and himself managed to escape through a window and were taken to hospital,and were discharged the next day.
the cause of the fire looks to be a faulty modem.
paul has lost everything in the fire and wasn,t insured as he had only just moved there .
he has now deceided to move to whitby

Neil,

That is terrible news.

Please pass on my best wishes to Paul and Cath.

Lets hope Whitby will bring a change of luck.

Cheers,

Doug

« **Reply #2 on:** November 22, 2004, 09:23:11 pm »

Neil?
Is this really true? If it is then what a bummer. Bad luck seems to follow this guy around. I hope that things get alot better for him and Cath soon. Perhaps we could start a little collection for him from all his mates on the cleaning forums. Maybe forum admin could help . I'll start the ball rolling with £20. Paul if your reading this just remember that from every adversity there is the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit. Hope to see you back on these forums soon. All the best

Well said Martin

I would be more than happy to pledge £20 to help Paul get back on his feet, how are we going to do this?

Paul

« **Reply #4 on:** November 22, 2004, 11:27:05 pm »

I'll come in with another £20.

Niel,

If Mike does not wish to get involved, would you be prepared to handle the contributions and pass them on?

« **Reply #5 on:** November 22, 2004, 11:57:46 pm »

Same here £20, just let us know where to send it. Has he lost his CC equipment, if so Im sure many of us could help there as well, with spare bits of kit we seldom use.
Best wishes to you Paul and your family.
Dave.

« **Reply #6 on:** November 23, 2004, 06:36:45 am »

What sad news.
Another £20 here to bring it up to the first 100.

Nicky

« **Reply #7 on:** November 23, 2004, 07:48:39 am »

This is very bad news As Paul is a Cleanitup God and has provided some interesting posts.

Hope all goes well for him and his family.

Put me in for 20 as well, let me know who is doing the collection.

I am happy to help,fire can strike at the most unlikely time and place often with tragic consequences.
Any body reading this who has not got smoke detectors fitted should put them up ASAP.
If you are unsure of fire safety contact your local fire station who will visit your home offer free advice,and where appropriate fit free smoke detectors in your home.
Best wishes to Paul and his family.
please post details of how we can help.

Count me in for a few pence too.

Be safe, be happy and hopefully cleaning again

Very Sorry to hear this news. Paul offered to put me up overnight recently when I was in cornwall having my t/m serviced. Instead met him and neil 47 for a drink. Had a enjoyable evening. Will contribute when its organised.

« **Reply #15 on:** November 23, 2004, 10:43:06 pm »

I'll donate as well. Sounds like your worst nightmare.

Whats the details for the collection?

Mark Roberts

« **Reply #16 on:** November 23, 2004, 11:38:24 pm »

It's heartwarming that so many have already offered to contribute, but all will come to nothing if arrangements are not firmed up.

I also imagine that whatever is collected will do the most good the sooner it is passed on.

What is required is an individual trusted by all, to whom we can send our cheques so that they can be sent, en mass, to Paul. I assume that Niel has his address, or the exercise will be wasted.

One name comes to mind, and he probably has the use of a safe accommodation address where the cheques can be sent. Perhaps he will volunteer his services. (?)

« **Reply #17 on:** November 24, 2004, 04:01:54 pm »

The Oldman from Yorkshire will also contribute £20.00, post details of where to send, please.

« **Reply #18 on:** November 24, 2004, 04:21:53 pm »

Hi,

As John says someone needs to co-ordinate this while there is momentum, preferably someone who knows where Paul is.

Cheers,

Doug

« **Reply #19 on:** November 24, 2004, 04:27:26 pm »

Sorry to hear the bad news,something tragic always happens this time of year. Put me down for £20
David Ware

« **Reply #20 on:** November 24, 2004, 05:43:23 pm »

As no one has offered, I can collect if need be but I will need Paul's contact Details.

I have a PO Box the cheques can be sent to, collected and then sent on to Paul.

We will need to move fast as a cut off date for money sent would be required to make it work.

If all agreed let me know

Trevor

« **Reply #21 on:** November 24, 2004, 05:47:03 pm »

Since nothing concrete seemed to be happening, I have made an appointment with my bank manager for Saturday morning with a view to opening the "Paul Chambers Fund" account.

If acceptable to all, the account details can be published here so that donations can be made to the account either via your own branch or electronically.

When it is felt that all donations are received the amount collected can then be passed to Paul and the closing bank statement published.

Before proceeding I need a consensus of agreement to the procedure and also confirmation that Paul's' current address is known and confirmed.

If anyone has a better, speedier way of getting the money to Paul, please let us all know. Any objection to the plan will not be taken as any degree of personal insult and if someone such as Neil, who knows Paul on a more personal level wished to organise a similar scheme, that's fine by me.

Please comment.....................

« **Reply #22 on:** November 24, 2004, 05:50:02 pm »

Trevor,

You posted whilst I was typing. I'd be happy to send you a cheque, or for you to adopt the bank account route - whichever is easiest for you.

Thank you for putting yourself foreword.

« **Reply #23 on:** November 24, 2004, 06:20:55 pm »

John,

Being able to send money electronically will be easier than relying on the post which can be worse than usual this time of year.

Whichever is decided, it needs to be set up in the next few days before interest is lost.

Well done all,
Nicky

« **Reply #24 on:** November 24, 2004, 06:59:14 pm »

Thats fine by me John

I was actually thinking about motor bike courier/van to him once all monies were in not by post, but your idea sounds good

Either way we better get a move on.

« **Reply #25 on:** November 24, 2004, 07:07:48 pm »

Good work chaps so where do i send the cheque??
Are we having a cut off date to get the money in?

Paul

« **Reply #26 on:** November 24, 2004, 07:11:07 pm »

Trevor,

I can't get to my bank before Saturday but feel that the bank account approach would bring in donations quicker, and without the risk of cheques being lost in post.

To avoid lengthy discussion, if you are still happy to act as administrator, I'll withdraw and await your instructions regarding payment.

Nat West Bank were happy to set up an account for this purpose, without cheque book, plastic or account charges. If you decide to take this route, I am sure that other banks would be equally accommodating.

« **Reply #27 on:** November 24, 2004, 07:49:55 pm »

If 1 of the mods could make this topic "sticky" Im sure more money and awareness would be raised.

Mark

« **Reply #28 on:** November 24, 2004, 07:53:14 pm »

I'm happy with whatever arrangements are made.

Safe and happy cleaning

Ken

I think the bank account is a splendid idea. As soon as you post details of the account £20 will be on it's way. Isn't it great that we have a forum like this, everybody willing to help each other. Jason B if he's reading could learn a thing or two here. Neil, Try and get Paul's contact details so we can reach him when the time comes. Well done everybody.

Count me in for £20,i know its of the topic but been on the iicrc upholstery course with paul pearce for a couple of days an excellent course.

« **Reply #32 on:** November 25, 2004, 10:36:59 am »

Sorry I've only just found this thread.

Paul has made a great contribution to this forum and we're happy to help in any way we can.

While the bank account is being sorted (and I would question how quickly one could be set up) anyone that would like to make a contribution is welcome to use one of these options:

You can make a donation by credit or debit card on 0800 9154 154 (hold for the operator on the switchboard!) and we'll forward the money when we have his details (Express will pay the commission charges on this)

If you have a Paypal account you can forward your donation to us by quoting my email address: mike@expresscleaningsupplies.co.uk Make sure you quote your own, and Pauls name, so i know who it's come from. As soon as someone lets me have Pauls address and/ or his bank details I'll then transfer it to him. This can be a bit of an ordeal if you have to set up a PayPal account.

You can send a cheque made payable to Paul Chambers to:
Express Cleaning Supplies
FREEPOST SWC4595
Malvern
WR14 3ZD

I hope this doesn't complicate the issue but the options are there for anyone that would like to make use of them.

I hope it all works out for Paul in the end.

I'm out of the office (and offline) until tommorrow afternoon (Friday) so apologies if I can't answer any questions beforehand.

Regards

Mike Boxall

Hi Chaps

I have just logged on in the whitby library,

I must say all the support your chaps have given has brought tears to caths and my eyes.

It has been a terrible time we are currently living in B & B in whitby which isnt that pleasant.

The Fire Investigator has taken the PC in question away to check , he thinks it may of been a lightening strike sometime ago which created a fault on our external router/modem.

Thanks to all i'll be back online asap but in the meantime i'll pop into the library now and then... ( to answer your carpet cleaning questions

« **Reply #37 on:** November 25, 2004, 04:24:27 pm »

In light of Mikes' offer of assistance, I have now cancelled the appointment at my bank.

Since mike has available several different payment options, I feel that my involvement (except as a donor) is no longer required.

It should be pointed out the both Trevor (Woodman) and Little Brother Derek also offered to organise the collection.

I've just phoned through my £20 and been told that they have already had "several" calls

I am sure that you will all join me in thanking mike for taking over the yoke and for accepting commission charges. Doubtlessly he will advise us of the total when known.

A new year is almost upon us, so hopefully, a better 2005 awaits you both. All the best.

I have to say, that the responses from people on this board, most of whom probably don't know Paul, and the camaraderie, help, assistance, guidance etc etc, that is given freely to everyone, is nothing short of remarkable.

Hello,

Reading the post from Neil about Paul & Cath being on benefit (another forum), it may not be such a good idea to give the gift as money. If the Benefits Agency find out that they have been given money, they can adjust their payments therefore making them no better off.

There is a way around this by giving the money as vouchers or buying items that Paul needs.

Nicky

« **Reply #69 on:** November 30, 2004, 12:37:17 pm »

sorry I havent kept everyone up to date with paul & cath but the computor wasn,t working.
It,s great to see how supportive you all have been.
I talked with paul last night and he isn,t fairing to well.
the local council have put him in a B&b in whitby which isn,t very nice they have told him that he will have to stay there for 33 days to make there minds up if he should be rehoused they have also told as he hasn,t got any work he has to stop claiming working tax credit(hardly his fault) this means he is going lose a substantial amount of money per month.
This is how this goverment looks after a man who served and fought for his country.
Spending 18 months in the faklands both before and during the conflict.
Also before this happened paul had also suffered so very bad set backs but has never once complained but has kept on working and trying move on.I have told everyone this because paul is to proud a man to ever mention it.
once again thanks everyone for your support it has really helped paul and cath to know ther are so many people willing to help him .
Thanks

We are currently living in a B & B in whitby where the heating is only on for an hour the owners a gay but luckily doesn't like me.

The council arent very helpful as they think we should of stayed in cornwall, but Cath needs to be near her family after this awlful experience.

It looks like some of the momentum has gone, come on Forum Admin I know you have put this topic to the top of the Forum list but can we have some flashing lights around it aswell!

I agree with what's been said in the last few posts. The majority indicated that they would be donating £20 (as I did) so there's still room for many more to donate (£400/20=20 donations!?).

If everbody were to just donate £1 (not even the price of a drink) with the number of members we have the fund would be well away.

Merry Christmas

Hi Steve / Shaun

Yes, I agree, on balance, with the number of members we have we should be able to do better.

If there is anyone who intended to send a payment which was overlooked, please bear in mind that we will still gladly forward anything paid in the following ways:

You can make a donation by credit or debit card on 0800 9154 154 during office hours (hold for the operator on the switchboard!) and we'll forward the money when we have his details (Express will pay the commission charges on this)

If you have a Paypal account you can forward your donation to us by quoting my email address: mike@expresscleaningsupplies.co.uk Make sure you quote your own, and Pauls name, so i know who it's come from. As soon as someone lets me have Pauls address and/ or his bank details I'll then transfer it to him. This can be a bit of an ordeal if you have to set up a PayPal account.

You can send a cheque made payable to Paul Chambers to:

sorry, I should have mentioned before that the total now stands at £565. Unfortunately, our Freepost service isn't the quickest but it's still coming in.

Regards

I haven't had time to log on to the site for a while (time flies when you're hopelessly disorganised) and extend my heartfelt sympathy to Paul in what must be an extremely difficult time.

I don't know Paul, but the measure of the man is reflected in how readily those around him have been so quick to assist.

Paul obviously has many friends, so my offer of help in 2005 may well be overkill, but if there's a need for any supplies etc then I would request that Paul contacts me directly through e mail on Pristinecleanltd@aol.com.

Just like to add to Paul & Cath, that we all wish them well and be happy that you both came through the accident.

I would like to thank everyone who has contributed, it has been a great help . Living in B & B is ok for a short holiday but extremely differcult over a period of time and eating out is no longer a luxury and is very expensive when you have to do it everyday. So the money wish has been sent has helped a lot.

A special thanks to Mike Boxall for all his time and effort in forwarding all the money.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

On the home front we are trying to rent a 3 bedroom house in a small village called ugthorpe but we wont know if we got it until the new year fingers crossed, the house bolongs to the church and has a life long tenacy. so would be ideal.

Merry Christmas

Paul & Cath
