Does anyone want to play Garage Lucky Dip.

Basically I am offering for sale something random from my garage ( i have a pretty interesting garage by the way), for something like £2 or £3 plus postage or more if you're feeling flush.

You will then receive said low price gift in post. As a Lymphoma survivor I would donate all proceeds to the Lymphoma Association but if anyone else wants to play and donate the money elsewhere then that is cool.

You gift could be absolutely anything and could be great fun. I think a photograph on the thread with your gift would be expected.

Fcuk the carriage, I'll collect

liam, david hornet said tenner, i said fiver
you've still got me for £3!

What a great plan, and a fantastic thing to do for charity

It might just bring the thing that I really want or it might not, but either way it'll be a great xmas pressie.

I'll have a go, but I don't do paypal, but would willingly send a cheque?
I'm up for £10 if that works out ok



u2u the address and postage costs once you know,..

thanks again

I'll pop a tenner in the pot for that - great idea

Graememk £10 + the postage

[Edited on 1/11/11 by graememk]

Put me in for £5 as long as its not a Demmis Rusoss CD!
What a great idea.

Liam,
Put me in for a tenner.

Cheers,

mads


p.s. Did you clean shave today? First of Movember!!

I'm starting to get a bit worried now, for a pound or two i could have given you any old tat but I've got to find something worth having now

Sincerely though, thanks for this guys. I haven't really organised any fundraising since my illness but this feels like it might be a laugh.

If anyone wants to donate a prize (privately) that would be great too.

Stick me in for a fiver!

Hi Liam,

Great Idea put me in for a tenner please.

Bob

Hi Liam,great idea put me in for a tenner+post.
Cheers Keith.

Great idea and you can't get any better than having a bit of a giggle all for a good cause.

Put me down for a tenner please, although at this rate is there going to be anything left in the garage?

Any details on how we can donate yet? The suspense of what I am going to get is killing me. Have thought of nothing else for days!!!!!!

Time for an update I think,

Ive had to go away for work for a week and I'm stuck without any internet access or phone signal so I'm going to have to get back to this on Saturday. In fact this is Mrs McCaffrey typing this for Liam.

I'm sorry to leave you in suspense but its for a good cause.

Best Wishes

Mr and Mrs McCaffrey

okMrs McCaffrey typing this for Liam

a delay is ok with me, it'll make it feel more like a Xmas pressie!

Hope the work issue gets resolved soon,

you've been away for a week, and now you're Mrs McCaffrey?!

no worries on any delay, just let us know how to donate when you can

how do i send you my money ?

Sorry for the delay, I've "been away for a while" though not in prison

I have set up a just giving page http://www.justgiving.com/LocostbuildersGarageLuckyDip

You may also donate by text by texting this onviously changing the number for the amount you want to pledge.

Done

done

Hi liam

Ive sent through a fiver to paypal for postage and donated on the just giving page. Is that right?

cheers
Steve

yes should be fine, thank you

Awesome, will get this done when I get home sun/mon

Hi Liam.
just a suggestion - you may want to post the charity links into the first post in this thread. It takes a bit of digging around to find it otherwise and you may miss some contributions.

How much do you want off us to cover postage?...or does it vary?

All done.

Just a note, when paying by paypal, I think everyone should enter 'gift'.

ATB

Lyn

Done......

Just make sure its nothing Vauxhall, or i'll be posting it back....



Bertie.

£5 done by text how much do you want for post?

I was planning to anounce the gifts on here or would people prefer a surpise in the post?

No suprise us,then we can blow you up big time on here !!
cheers keith

Done ington!

I'd rather have a surprise please!! Then I will take a photo of it and post on here if you like.

with regards postage some people have given a couple if quid by pp, but I really won't know the exact amount till I send. I'm happy to refund difference though

surely any refunds could go to the charity
cheers Keith

OK fine on both counts, didnt want you to be out of pocket.

If it costs less than £5 to post my turbo and all the plumbing manifold and plenum 1st class recorded, add the difference to the pot

just to keep you all updated the first batch of "gifts" should land on doorsteps Wednesday,Thursday/Friday

so what surprises have people got? not received mine yet but intrigued to see what others have received

Ive been delayed chaps they haven't gone out yet they'll be dispatched Monday.

I'm sorry and I'd just like to reiterate how much I appreciate your support.

so looking forward to this, it's more exciting than Xmas!!

Right, the first 6 packages were finished tonight will be sent tomorrow! The rest will be done over the next 2 nights.

Sent payment to liamcafs@hotmail.com

Joe
