Sober October
It is with much trepidation I announce that I'll be drying out in October! That's right, an entire month without an alcoholic drink! :eek:
Would you like to join me? I'm doing it to raise funds and awareness for The Fostering Network; so should you wish to help this tremendous cause please let me know. Alternatively, a donation of just 10p per day (£3.10 for the month) would be very gratefully received. Thank you in anticipation, JT :thumb: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraisi...enge?utm_id=10 |
I was just going to put a donation but you have to register an account.

Already started for September. No I don't need you to pay me anything. In fact it should be you donating from the money saved buying alcoholic drinks

Its tea, coffee, and all the other non alcoholic drinks that were the hard part. We probably drink too much alcohol, but it was tea and coffee that were the killers to live without. Good luck with it |

My self imposed abstinence is nearly at an end. The money I have not spent on booze I will give to my chosen interests

You lot.......
You do realise that if EVERYONE gives up drinking, the government will have such a hole in the taxation budget that income tax would have to rise substantially? Stop this madness now... :D |
Could be final nail in the coffin given our present brexit scenario

I don't see the point of giving anything to charity, if you new how much the people that run the company get paid you'd be shocked.

I've done work for charities and charged them nothing. I just find it annoying, when people are making money off a charities.

I agree with the sentiment about charities wasting money & not using resources to there best effect.
On that note I address all you people doing the Sober October & implore you to send all that unused alcohol to those in most need.:thumb: :D:D |

It doesn't, Jeff, but as far as I know it's about £55k a year which is £150 a day take home. About the same as a plumber.
