[HappyHippyDad]

Alrite chaps has my prize been posted as nothing received yet? Just checking its not got lost

Cheers

Hi Smity,

Haven't received mine either, but I think Paul.M was a bit snowed under as he had lots to post out so be patient, I'm sure it'll come :smile5:

 

[Guest77]

Whoops I forgot to tell you, we sold the prizes so we could go on Holiday :biggrin:

 

[smity]

Oh no Didn't mean to sound impatient, Just wanted to check it incase it had been posted and I had missed it. No probs no rush [emoji1]

 

[Paul.M]

Sorry gents, this falls on my shoulders. I have 1 prize to post out and communicate with Test-Meter about the other two. My fault, no one else's.

Very busy atm. 2 house rewires, 2 house extensions, 1 shop rewire on night shifts, normal customers to attend to + getting my foot in the door with a big national company for maintenance, repair and installs. I've dropped off the forum for a while to sort out real world life, sorry.

It will all be sorted out this week, trust me.

I do mate, and I would with my life, your a good en, end of.

 

[Ollie133cup]

No worries Paul,

Real world life takes priority.

 

[Paul.M]

Thanks lads. Just need to have an extra day in the week atm lol.

Trainee prizes are getting posted out tomorrow or the day after! Only 4 weeks late!!!!

Last week I saw Mrs M on the Tuesday morning, saw her again on Friday evening! Early starts, late finishes and no life in between. I'll box off the forum comps within 48 hours. All I can say is sorry.

 

[Paul.M]

ALL 11 prizes WILL be posted out on Friday, I've stuck 2 fingers up to everyone and taken the day off.

Postage is going to cost a bit and most of the members (trainees as well) have offered pay for it. If you want to, donate whatever you like to a local childrens charity.

Easy formula:- Test-Meter and Members have got hundreds of pounds worth of prizes and given them away. Mentors have run a comp plus this General section comp. If you want to donate to any charity, please do so, up to you.


Must say it has been fun doing this. I'll do it again but not in the immediate future. Prizes with you all soon.

Paul M

Thanks Paul, you can take a (small) break in a few weeks! Enjoy it while it lasts.
I have decided to buy a load of food to donate to my local food bank. Its a shame people need to rely on them in the first place.
A big Thank you to paul and other forum members (you know who you are) who have kindly given up time and money to forum competitions.

Wow I'm seriously choked up Amckay.

All because a few of us guys got together and donated 14+ prizes in the Trainee Section and this competition prizes donated by Test-Meter, the less fortunate will have food to eat this Christmas!!! Well done and what a great idea. Half of the winners have asked me if I want paying for P+P? Told everyone to give whatever donation to a local childrens charity or whatever they feel like giving to.

Buying a load of food for a local food bank at this time of year is brilliant. I hope others follow your lead and do the same.

We got 4 numbers last night, 10 p shy of £100. Because it's been a bloody good last few weeks it's going to https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&r...aAhsPEe_VJal_qkPg&sig2=D2qpoj-6EkcNgeTUzr1wlQ

Good call Trev, only cost you £2 and helps others out 50 times more! Like it.

Next Sunday it is my 40th birthday. Normally I buy myself a new shirt to go out in, think the £50 could be spent better elsewhere. I'll goolgle local food banks for the elderly in the morning and ask them what sort of food they are in need of. In fact I did some display lighting in a small food wholesalers last year, got on with the owner really well. May be worth having a chat and try to get a couple of 24 pack soup/beans out of him??? Worth a shot at least???

 

[trev]

****, I honestly thought I'd discarded that. However, every little helps. Even if it's just publicity.
The more that right thinking people do stuff like this means more nails in the coffin of these horrible tory ****s.
Words cannot describe how much I despise these people.

 

[amckay]

I don't think that by us and others being kind to others is going to get the Tories out. I think it will give them carte Blanche to carry on behaving in the most disgraceful way.

But the people who go to food banks do it because they're desperate and the system (which we pay for) has let them down. Sometimes people need a little helping hand to get themselves back on their feet. And in a few years time it'll be that person who gives to those in need like others did to him

 

[Ollie133cup]

Did anyone else receive there prizes?

Ollie, Smithy and HHD I am sssooo sorry, forgot all about this and the prizes. They are in a carrier bag under the stairs, completely slipped my mind due to the other comp and xmas etc. I'll go to the post office in the morning and get them out to you guys.

 

[Paul.M]

Yes I received mine.

Different comp mate lol. Thought I posted everything out at the same time? I must have kept these 3 prizes separate so thy did not get mixed up the the 8 x TS prizes.

No worries, you deserve a medal for the work you have done in the trainee section, I am sure the lads won't mind.

It's all your fault Mike, GMES and Dillb. All I wanted to do is a little comp in the TS with 5-6 prizes. After you 3 got involved with your very generous donations the comp turned into a monster!!! Good fun and we all enjoyed it, lets do it again but next time I'll be more organised. That reminds me, I have to go out this week and buy a copy of the new BYB for the main winner. Ouch!!!!

In a carrier bag.. under the stairs.. all ready for ebay by the sounds of it Paul!! ;-)

Only kidding. . Cheers chap.

 

[Paul.M]

Yep, buying two myself + 3 OSG's. One for me, one for a lad that has just started with us on site and another for a future prize in the TS. Btw I'm doing this to inspire myself to stop smoking, the amount of money I spend on cigs is stupid and can be put towards other things.

I know your only kidding HHD. I would not sell them, I'd keep them for myself. Your Fluke multi-meter is really good. That may get "lost in the post" :ihih:

Oh dear Smithy, I've got a confession to make..... I should do this via PM but I'll be honest and open with it..........

I've lost your prize!!!!!!!!!

Cant bloody find it in the house. It's all Mrs. M's fault (passing the buck lol) she had a spring clean beginning of December for Xmas. I think your prize (calibration check box) is in the loft! The other 2 have been posted, I just cant find yours.

Over the weekend I'll find it and post it out to you on Monday. If I dont find it, I'll buy one and post it out to on Monday and everyone is a winner. I'll end up finding it a few days later but it is a good bit of kit to have, I dont mind buying one to send to you. It is like just buying one for myself at the end of the day.


@ Smithy. I'm really sorry about all of this. Public apology is due and warranted. All will be resolved come Monday and you will have your prize soon after. I am a gentleman and also a man of my word. Sorry for letting you down.

 

[trev]

Eh? I think you might need to borrow my training stick Paul.

 

[Silly Sausage]

You just can't get the staff.

 

[GMES]

Paul I will drop you half the cash I got at cash converters! we did say we were splitting the money we got for that free check box didn't we??

 

[smity]

Hi Paul, that's bad news but these things happen.

Don't worry about it mate you seem like a genuine bloke and I don't think it should come out of your pocket so just have a look for it over the next couple of weeks no big rush and just let me know if you find it and send it over if you don't find it don't worry about it pal

Cheers [emoji6]

 

[Ollie133cup]
