But now the bastards won't leave me alone. I get tons of begging letters. I get letters with gifs in them, pens, bags, Christmas cards. I had phone calls and emails omg loads of emails. Begging terrible, tragic emails telling me people are dying beause I won't give them my money
"Put simply, unless we get aid to the remote villages in the next few weeks, a second wave of deaths could take the lives of 10,000 children. Hunger, hypothermia and disease are all a very real threat and diarrhoea, respiratory infections and measles are already affecting many children".
Yes, God yes. I'd love to help. But I can't. Bloody heck I'm a sore on the face of the British tax payer as it is with my family tax and working tax credits.
Did you know that 46 quid:
"Can provide a family water kit for 10 families, with soap, water containers and water purification tablets"
Did you also know that 49 quid will pay for my car brakes so I don't drive into the Severn River accidentally? (right)
I so want to help those poor people. Maybe one day.
Now that email has made me want to cry.

Did you watch that programme about children waiting for adoption on C4 last night? It made me cry. I tried to be tuff, but failed.
Don't feel bad, you helped when you could. No body can do anymore than that!
Just bin them all don't look at them and say no thanks and put phone down on them.
I suppose even a hard hearted old sod like me gets a bit moist eyed at some of the things we see on TV.
All the same, I cannot help wondering if the modern tendency for concern about the whole world is totally a good thing.
The flip side of this "caring society" is that, having contributed so much for total strangers, we feel that we are in turn entitled to look to it to take over all our responsibilities.
We donate money to starving old ladies in Africa, then put our own mothers in care.
people expect th society to pick up the tab
because so much
got that a bit arsed up. Oh well. Why is there no edit thing on your crap blog Mrs Trin thing?
