to keep this on-topic, I received my Secret Santa gift. Cheers  I can do it, I'll set it up in a mo.
Edit: donations can be Paypalled to 4abigail @ ap4a.co.uk
Bumping this, and if it's sent as a gift it looks like there's no fees too Just wondering, how long should I leave this running for? And what are we going to get? There's a few options such as Amazon gift vouchers, Mother care vouchers etc (I would want to try and pick a gift myself). Dunno - I guess long enough for everyone who originally expressed an interest to have got round to contributing. I know I haven`t done so yet - will do later today when I get Mrs Y off my back. As for the gift - definitely vouchers, or even the cash? ps - I'll spam Twitter about this again today. Net magazine forums already done. |

Can you give us an idea of what the amount is Dave? That would inform what we decide to do I reckon.

Secret Santa gift & Abigail donation both done I think perhaps Emma should probably decide what to do with the money. Maybe she's got something in mind that we could get. I know that I'm a bit picky about what I'd like Ruby to get for Xmas. Mothercare gift vouchers might be the way to go |

It's currently at £124.46, but we're still to donate too (no point Paypalling myself  ) Just to re-iterate something I said earlier, if donations are made as a gift (send money > personal > gift) then Paypal won't make any charge to receive it, whereas they will if it's sent as a payment. |

Hmm. Okay, I agree with Rutty then - let's ask Emma? I always thought Mothercare was expensive. Maybe ELC?

I don't know what ELC is? Asking Emma's probably a good idea. Or I can send her a cheque and she can decide what to do with it? Or? I'm happy to go along with what everyone else thinks </copout> |

ELC = Early Learning Centre (if you had kids you'd have known that!)

When I did that they did charge. However they gave you the option of paying the charge rather than the person receiving the money being liable for the charge* *There is the possibility I messed it up somewhere but I know I chose gift. |

Hmm, it's confusing this Paypal malarky. If you use your Paypal balance or bank acct to send a personal payment/gift it's free. If you make a card payment then either the sender or receiver has to pay a fee, and the recipient has to pay a fee on all non-personal payments. It's free* when you use your PayPal balance or your bank account linked to your PayPal account. There is a charge of
3.4% + £0.20 GBP*
for debit or credit card payments
(either the sender or recipient can pay this fee). Anyhow, the running total is now £169.46 with me still to donate. |

Just seen that, but will they know why? I'm not sure if it was ever mentioned there that he'd passed away?  |

Now at £193.41 (with us still to donate) If anyone else is going to donate if you can do it by Sunday night then we can send either vouchers or a cheque on Monday and it should get to them in time for Xmas. |

with me still to donate. 'us' not 'me'  I would only suggest vouchers simply because I'm not 100% sure if Emma will have set Abi up a bank account yet (unless the cheque is made out to Emma). I'm sure mothercare or ELC vouchers would be good, although I don't know if/where an ELC is around here, but I know where mothercare is. |

Do you reckon Abigail wants to host DDN for a year? Excellent total and a lovely idea. It really represents what Christmas should be about. |

Who donated the 41p? It'll be a charge of £1.59 by paypal WHS. A few payments have had fees taken hence the not so round number |
