Like most of you have said we also donate to our chosen charities by direct debit through the year and a few more at Christmas, I wish we could give more we have left bequests in our wills and if we ever were lucky enough to win the lottery we would give to many more.

As much as we would like to we cannot save the world, the Tv adverts annoy me saying " just £2 or a£3 a month will do this or that" people give whatever they can afford they shouldn't be stipulating amounts but be grateful for anything big or small.

I don't give at the door either and have a notice saying "no callers" but they don't take any notice.
