Dave1875 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Usual things mixed with a few surprises. Smellies, chocolates, alcohol and clothes being the usual. A fitbit charge hr (had made a hint about this a few months ago as I was beginning to pile on pounds) and a chilli sauce skull (goes nice with my vodka skull on the shelf) were nice surprises 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Kiss tickets, Top Gun bomber jacket from NYC, loads of other clothes, smelly stuff, Game of Thrones stuff and my holiday to Orlando next year. Not a bad haul. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were probably just hoping you'd make them some food after staying in your bedroom with that weird whirring noise all day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They thought it was good idea. (that sounds like a Facebook fishing for likes post sorry!) It is kids that really buy into the whole part about other kids missing out. You did a good thing. While I posted what we did due to context of the forum we try to focus any publicity on the people who are giving rather than the project workers running it. Although there was a day spent outside Tesco dressed as Santa when a wee girl said she wanted a wee brother for Christmas. Mum shat herself...I said Santa did not think he was able to promise that as so many children missing out abut I did offer mum on the quiet to come back later if she wanted to discuss it with Santa...thankfully she got the joke.

On the flip side you can get some chancers when it comes to adults. One self referred asking for help for toys but after a quick Facebook check she had posted in October that she had so many toys bought for Christmas that she was struggling to find places to hide them. Another was claiming she was struggling financially to pay for everything and not just Christmas..a bit of financial support from a project we got to help her revealed she had an income of £700 a week! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work for a charity delivering furniture and household stuff on referral, mostly from donations but sometimes brand new stuff like cookers. Quite often stuff would appear on Ebay or Gumtree a week later, and even a local auction house. Hard to prove so I don't think it was ever chased up. Most of the time people were really grateful, occasionally they were ungrateful sods, especially after you'd lumped a sofa up 4 flights of stairs and were told to take it away as it didn't match the decor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 An LG G5 and some new gloves were my highlights. I've been using an iPhone 4s for the past 5 months so having a modern Android phone again will improve my life a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
