I've just been catching up on the news and reading yesterday's Metro when I saw this lovely story I thought I'd share:
Volunteer Corinna Smith opened a donated carrier bag at a pet care charity shop - and found £5000 inside!! She discovered the wad of cash at the PDSA charity store in Brighton along with a note addressing it to the "PDSA Animals". Shop manager Jackie Hack said: "We assumed it was a normal donation of unwanted items. You can imagine our shock when we peered in and found a wad of banknotes" she added: "I've never seen so much money in one place and it was all in £10 and £20 notes"
What a lovely thing to find on your doorstep. Lots of Brighton animals will have a better Xmas as a result of someones generosity :donate2:
-
Thats really good, i'd do it myself if i had the cash, oh please let me win the lottery this week LOL ;D
-
OMG - hope the donor wasn't money laundering!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Lovely story though. :Luv:
-
Wohoo! If only that could happen to all the rescues! :)
-
What with the £500 PDSA donation and the Purrs Xmas auction for Ron ... Bighton animals are going to get a very Xmas this year :wish:
-
You said £5000 earlier on sam
-
Yep sorry typo ... it was £5000 (five thousand pound) :)

Can i ask you, seem so your on at the mo, can other people get your email add from somwhere on the comp or something cos someone mailed me tonight and said they wanted to talk to me but too shy, and i dont know who they are or how they got my mail add, very strange.
-
ccmacey people can mail you through this site without them ever knowing your email address - could that have been it?
-
ccmacey, you've not hidden your email address in your profile. It means people can click on your name and find out your email addy really easily.
-
I dont mind people from this site emailing me, they said there name was lee patterson and i dont know him, so they obviously got my mail from somewhere, can guests see the email addy too, if so how do i hide it??
-
Have i hid my mail addy now?
-
Yep ccmacey you've hidden it now.
And oooooh what a find - cor, I wouldn't mind coming across a bag with five grand in it!
-
Hiya That was lovely of someone to do that. Wish there were more of em out there!! ;D
On the email thing no guests or kitten members can see any member profile whatsoever. Only when you are a full member can you view profiles and only see the emails if they are not hidden.

Sounds like a dodgy spam e-mail to me :shify:

I agree, I don't open e-mail from any names I do not think I recognize.

How lovely for the charity to receive such a generous donation. A similar thing happend the other week in a charity in Chepstow - it was a hospice charity I think, and they got donated a piece of artwork worth £8,000. I am, however, not sure if the donator knew the painting was worth that much, or was just a bit clueless about art! The charity were thrilled tho.
Isn't it lovely to read about things like that :)
