[sofa----king]

A fool who has no knowledge?

I suggest you watch who you are calling a fool.

In my opinion you are now threatening me.  I am not prepared to accept that.  I understand you live quite close to me, and will be happy to meet you face-to-face to discuss this further.

PM me to sort it, but please do not hide behind this forum.

I dont hide behind nothing and the tone of your post is far more threatening than mine. You want to meet thats fine but dont be expecting it to be pleasant as I see your post above as nothing more than a veiled threat/challenge. I had gone away to calm down and come back to this?

pack it in, everyone. Please.

Last warning before I put the lycra on myself.

tighty would you let someone challenge you like that on a forum you spend a lot of time on? I notice he hasnt offered to meet sofa with his 46-0 record, obviously thinks I'm some sort of pushover. I never threatened him but I don't take threats like this lightly mate.

thread unlocked. Please be civil. Thank you

and here is Maureen's message......

"Hi all, as i have said before i have Ltd access to the net as we chose not to bring the laptop and the cost here per hour is  $8 ph.

Firstly i have to say a very big thankyou to Tony and Tom for going out of their way and sorting all this out for me. THANK YOU BOYS XXX

Whether or not you think i went about this the wrong way at least it is now being / been addressed. I too was shocked to find that only 30% goes to the actual cause, maybe i was so naive i never bothered to ask. IMO i think that this should be stated prior to an event to eliminate any confusion.I am very sorry to hear that people are resigning from the charity that was set up with the intention of raising money for children, I have now this on my conscience. I do not want people leaving the charity because of this, If the charity is run more efficiently surly no one has to resign. There are still poorly children out there and it really saddens me that i have caused this. Yes , i was PM'd and accused of accusing folk of stealing money from the cause but if my posts were read correctly at no point what so ever have i said any such thing. I wanted the people of blonde that donated to know how much and where the funds were going , and i stand by this.

It has become a very heated thread but lets keep it civil. Everyone is entitled to their say, after all this is a forum and people should not be scared to post or ask or even give suggestions on ways to improve how the charity is run. I suppose once the breakdowns of all past and future events are made available then people will be able to see exactly where raised money is spent and where improvements can be made. I guess these figures are made public , but with not having a lot to do with charities to that depth maybe they arn't made public, i don't know, Anyone ?.

When i return home i will sit Stacey down and update her on all this as she is totally oblivious to this thread, she has way too much to cope with to have her worrying.She asked ,before i left , " mum will i be getting anymore money " well know i can answer that with confidence ...YES TX to blondes.

We will post here how Stacey chooses to spend it. Reece can not go on holiday or too far from home due to his machines at night plus we get a bit nervous if we are too far from his allocated hospital, but Stacey does rely heavily on her  car which she has to meet monthly payments on, therefore some of it will go towards The payments. Also nappies are a huge expense as Reece has such a short gut he has no control over his bowel and gets very sore so we have to keep him dry. Stacey is also a single parent so her funds are limited you can all rest assured that this money will make life easier for them both.

Thankyou all from a very emotional Nun..XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX "

[tikay]

Jeez. Am I the only one with tears running down my face after reading that?

God Bless Reece, & Stacey.

[charmaine]

Sounds like a plan Maureen , the money will be going exactly where its most needed 
Love to you and yours and may the new year bring lots of goodluck to Stacey and Reece 

[Indestructable]

I do like a happy ending.

A whole bunch of Posts since last night have begun with "thanks to Tom & tikay".

I have to say, I'm getting increasingly uncomfortable with that. I was asked by P4C to attend a meet to see if things could be tidied up. I asked Tom to accompany me, & I'm glad I did, he's a brick. Tony & Andy showed up, we debated for 3 or 4 hours, & then went home. Andy (Jagster) & Tony (TheBigSlick) were both 100% open & honest. They held their hand up & admitted things could have been handled better.

The cheque for Maureen was pre-prepared when we arrived, it was not down to Tom or me, it was already written, effectively the Forum debate had done all the work.

I have not spoken to Tom today, but I'm sure he feels the same as I do. We just wanted to see Maureen get what was, in our, & most blonde's opinion, rightfully hers. (Effectively Stacey's, for Reece). But we never did anytrhing to get the cheque.

Thank you Andy and Mr B for sorting this out.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Karabiner]

Well thank goodness the money has ended up where we all thought it should be going.

Happy Xmas to Maureen, Stacey and especially little Reece.

[the-oneeye]

Very nice to see things have been tied up nicely for maureen stacey and reece. I wish all you family well in the new year, and it is good to see that moiney raised by the blondes in conjunction with Poker4charity has gone to a good cause.

All i can say is Tikay a big up to you for not taking the credit for resolving this, and as for the forum making this  happen you may be on to something. Personally i would have thought that a few discrete enquiries months ago via email, or pm may have rectified this sooner, instead of what has now led to a whitch hunt, people and their families being threaten and all sorts of insults. And the very charity that aided in the raising of this money being put on the line.

People power certainly does work.

Shhhh!!! ffs! You're ruining our street cred!!
