    No...

    Unfortunately the amount of "charities" I keep getting begged to donate to is increasingly getting on my nerves.

    This week alone, I have had 6 "we need your urgent help" begging bags to put old cloths in (and this is normal). 4 last week, and the week before another 3 or 4 (including one litteraly five minutes ago), which got thrown back at the "deliverer" due to showing complete lack of respect by deciding my front garden was a path from next door.

    just how many clothes have I f'kin got.

    The only charities I now donate to are ones that have affected me closely. Such as cancer research.

    In this day in age with the current economic crap, the average person cannot give as much as they would like, but having it rammed down my throat every day of the week starts to turn me the other way.

    Apologies if it offends anyone, but there are people more close to home that are struggling that get my spare cash at this moment in time.

    £1 to dress down at work and another £1 for a quiz thing. I prefer to give what I can afford to animal charities.
