Xmas sweets for the kids ward at kings THANK YOU!!!

[Fox_tail]

evening one and all,

as some of you may know at Xmas i come on here and ask for sweets for the kids ward at kings..and you respond amazingly!! i did the same thing at Easter for the first time and it went down a absolute treat! and THANK YOU to the guys who donated..you know who you are!! i really cant thank you enough, for those who don't know when i was younger they pretty much saved my life and im ever thankful for that...they get no funding at all for little treats (sweet wise)for the kids who are unfortunately in there over Xmas...times are tight and i completely understand that but if you got a quid handy and passing a pound shop nearer the time and fancy joining in then that would be amazing!

i know its early but thought i would just put out a early feeler!

feel free to drop me a text or a call if you have any questions 07852937213.

anyway enough rambling from me! thanks for your time!

Allan

Excellent can you put a reminder up when you start collecting please?

[Fox_tail]

No worries at all, i will put a reminder up when i start collecting, iv also had lots of questions about what type of sweets....i normally go for little bags of haribos (the 10p packs) i just get a load of them, but ANY sweets are welcome! and thanks again guys for such a great response!

[Jeremy]

I'll definitely contribute! As rendel says... put a reminder up nearer the time and I'll drop some stuff over.

Wonder if it's worth contacting the big Sainsbury's to see if they can make a donation of sweets (and maybe small toys too?)

[siousxiesue]

The funeral place (co-op?) next to co-op chemist also did a collection last year for King's kids-hope they do it again this year. Ill pop in and ask!

[Fox_tail]

Children shouldn't eat sweets. Have you seen the state of their teeth lately. Why not give them something educational or books to read.

Put me down for an Encyclopaedia Britannica covered in chocolate. It's Christmas.

games is not a bad idea. but does change the nature of it entirely!

Teddy Bears and Dollies to cuddle while they are away from their families at Christmas. Sugar highs and they'll be tearing round the wards and climbing the walls.

good post

[rendelharris]

As there's such a heartening swell of goodwill towards the idea of EDF members giving something for the children's wards, why don't we ask King's what they think would be best?

[Fox_tail]

Lol guys, iv been giving sweets to them for years, easter I give eggs and at Halloween I gave sweets and comics, there never were and never have been any complaints, feel free to donate toys and books and whatever you see fit, but im doing what iv always done and thats sweets, apologies if you disagree but just chill out will ya, its a few sweets for some kids on xmas!

[Dulwich61]

Fox_tall, put me down for ?20 and let me know how best to deliver in cash or kind. Spending Xmas in hospital is miserable at any age (my 83-year old father had that experience last year), but for kids even more so.

Yeah regretting my earlier attempt to pour oil on troubled waters (is there anything which can't start controversy on here?!) I'll be bringing sweets!

[lavender27]

Oh well , I suppose that's how the students at the dental school across the road have to learn, still it's not to far to go after the children come out of hospital. x
