Hi guys, wondered if your feeling charitable today, my sons  doing a sponsored run for a charity called the joshua tree, its quite a personal charity as it was set up in aid of my sons best friends brother who has leukemia, you can read all about it on there website.(just google "the joshua tree charity")
i was wondering if you could spare some change to help him reach his target, maybe a £1 for everytime ive made you laugh, but please don't deduct a pound for everytime i've pee'd you off as i would be well in debt ;D

anyway heres hoping.

cheers

Just to add

I remember a story I used to hear at Sunday School.

An old lady who cleaned for a living and earned a penny a day. That penny bought her fresh water and stale bread for a day. ie enough to survive and nothing more. But on a Sunday when the donations bag was handed around in church and all the rich people put their notes in she simply gave up her penny and went without for a day. That story has never left me.

reached our target and a bit more.

massive massive thanks to you guys, you've made my son a really happy lad, never seen him smile so much when i told him he'd gone over £200, not only have you helped him get all that money for a very worthwhile cause but also he thrashed his mates total. ;D

youve also made me the best dad in the world ;D

cheers guys, your all on my special kind of person list.

its usually quiet on here friday nights so can't see us raising anymore. he got £7 pound off his teachers ::) so a grand total of £213 in 2 days.

he runs tomorrow so i'll let you all know how he got on.

thanks again guys. over the moon

Come on guys, this sum should be double, lets see what can be done before midnight.
Hundreds post on here, and only a dozen or so donated.
Lets show them what us carpet cleaners can do, lots of us have kids, me too maybe by
end of weekend hopefully. You never know when your own may need help.

Even a couple of quid, better than psing up against a wall tonight.

 ;D ;D ;D
no chance pete,
think he'd rather run the london marathon than have his hair cut, i was the exact same when i was 14, ac/dc, motorhead and all that. now look at me, not a strand in sight. ;D
