At last I managed to nominate the charity on my Amazon account! I have tried previously but in vain. I didn't realise it required the whole name and not just the initials..duh!!! I'm an avid Amazon shopper so hopefully I will help swell the coffers!

Well done you! I agree it’s not always easy to set these things up - but we’re a determined bunch!
Happy shopping 🛍 - and now you can feel benevolent not guilty! 😂🤣
Have you got the link for this please DL. I could feel very virtuous if I could spend and still earn the charity something.
You can also give via other “online shops” with “Give as you Live” as mentioned on charity’s site under Donations.
Unfortunately UK based shoppers only...
Thanks. Now I can say my shopping is because of the charity!!
I have promptly done exactly what you did and only used initials!! My excuse is I was in a hurry to shop!!

I have deleted my card from Amazon. Sleeping pills make me a bit shoppy.
MamaBeagle in reply to
Oh dear me!
in reply to MamaBeagle
At least you can return stuff or cancel the order if I realise in time. I used to check my emails first thing.

I dont need the side effects of sleeping tablets to make me shoppy!!
in reply to Yellowbluebell
😂😂😂
Neither do I Y B. It seems to me it's a rather serious side effect of said pills!
MamaBeagle in reply to
Do you need to report this side effect to the manufacturer? 😊
But if we complain about this side effect they may change something and we wouldn't have any excuse for excessive shopping!!
in reply to MamaBeagle
It's well known for causing all sorts of things. Eating, driving etc. Shopping and eating seemed my things but they are the only ones that work at all and I feel ok the next day. I once baked a cake. I didn't know I had ingredients for one in the cupboard. The dog had a big belly that morning.

How are you feeling now? I like tablets that's side effect is shopping and eating!! I think me and mamabeagle are quite happy to continue shopping!!
Too right Y B!
I class it as a hobby and I need to gets lots of practice. As I make and sell quilts my OH believes all my fabric purchases are for customers, hee hee, poor disillusioned man.
I bought a coat once and wore it every Sunday in church. OH was the vicar.....after 18 months he said " is that a new coat you were wearing today?"
They are remarkably dense some days and you seriously question your own sanity when you decided to marry them! You would seriously think he might have noticed sooner with you sitting in front of him wearing it!! I occasionally show OH fabric and he will just say " isnt that the same as the other stuff you bought". That may in all fairness be why I get fabric in undetected as he cant tell the difference.
I have a picture of you I your sewing area with vast amount of fabric, and your OH completely oblivious to the growing mound!
Oh definitely a correct image!! Quite often buried under fabric!!
I am off fabric shopping with scats next week again!! We say we are having coffee but our local fabric shop.does both!! Only problem is getting off the very soft sofas afterwards!!
His mind had been on higher things ...
Mine's like that - not sure what his excuse is ...
It's good to know I'm not alone,Pro! The only item he does notice is a new bag of whatever size or variety, and I get "why do you need another bag?"
What is it about bags that ring alarm bells with them? Mine is exactly the same and can spot a new bag at a 100 yards!! I did try just getting the same colour bag to confuse him but he still knew It was a different one.
in reply to Yellowbluebell
Yes It also help with fibro pain for and hour. I hid car keys. The problem was I knew my debit card number. I had to get a new one and never learned the number.

Why did the dog get to eat cake? I dont usually share cake. My youngest daughters FIL's dog has eaten12 silicon muffin cases complete with muffins, sheep poo, and been bitten by a snake he wouldn't leave alone. All in the last 6 months!!
in reply to Yellowbluebell
😂😂😂 I suspect I too a bite or two then just dropped it over the floor etc. Some of the chocolate was round my face and on my pillow. I don't seem to eat much now. Dog even loss 1kg low carbing now.
Yellowbluebell in reply to
Before putting on weight due to not being sensible about food whilst on pred, I would happily eat chocolate during the night and the evidence was there in the morning. Trying to be good now.
in reply to Yellowbluebell
No idea where some of snacky thing came from. I go to bed early usually so hope I dressed when I walked to local shop for chocolate and crisps. It's only at high stress time though.
MamaBeagle in reply to
Who is low carb? You, the dog or both of you?
in reply to MamaBeagle
Both....she has lost 1kg and I have lost 2st 3llbs. Any extras she has are good carbs-veg and some soft fruits. She is in better condition than me!! Very athletic and muscular said the vet. I was very jealous.
Yellowbluebell in reply to
I need to lose 2 stone. Cant find the scales since we moved and the movers packed everything but not indicated the room on some of them.
in reply to Yellowbluebell
Make hay while the sun shines...seriously I get weighed every 3 mths or more at Rheumy clinic. That way I only get weighed on the same scale.
MamaBeagle in reply to
Keep going Poops but don't fade away on us!
in reply to MamaBeagle
Don't worry there is plenty left yet!!
You'll probably lose a lot more of that hiring for them YB!
Well done.....both of you 👍
