I don't have kids, but need some advice...

[tarynlondon]

Hi everyone!

I'm a primary school teacher trying to raise enough money to build a school in rural Nepal. (For the bargain price of ?7,000) To help me achieve my goal, I'm selling raffle tickets for ?1 to win a mini pool table (3feet by 2feet), Lovely dog/teddy bear and a mini manicure and child's haircut.

I had a market stall on Northcross Rd on Saturday and only sold 8 tickets. I really want to make more for my charity and also don't want to give away such cool prizes for ?8.

Does anyone have any ideas how I could sell these raffle tickets. Closing date is 27th March and I'm running a marathon in two weeks, so don't have that much free time on the weekends unfortunately.... I'm totally open to suggestions.

Can anyone help?

You could try and sell them on a thread here....I shall start the ball rolling, I'd like five please, let me know where/when I can see you for them. All the best with a great cause, Karen.

I'd also like 5 - pls provide me with details of where to send money. Good luck

Count me in for 5 too Taryn - let me know details

Hope your training is going well, I ran a marathon 5 years ago, by far the toughest thing I've ever done but the best day of my life (wedding and birth of children aside, obviously ;-) )

Hi everyone!

Thank you so much for all your generosity! That's totally brilliant.

You can send ?5 directly to my charity website at VirginMoneyGiving where you can use paypal, debit or credit card. That's probably the easiest and fastest. I can then put 6 tickets into the raffle with your names on them.

p.s. I'm not sure if my original post is clear....there are in fact three winners in the raffle. First prize is the mini pool table, second prize is the teddy and third prize is the haircut and mini manicure.

[pebbles]

Done - i'll email you my address

[tarynlondon]

Thanks Pebbles, I've already got the ?5 on the site. If you PM or email me a contact phone number for me to write on your raffle tickets, I can then ring you when you win!
