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.

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

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.

Sorry again gents.
