Hello team,
Boris has kindly sent the 'spare' sweat bands over to Europe and they are now in my possession.

Could you please reconfirm who wants what below, and then send me you address details via PM ...
There are;
2 x purple
4 x pink
6 x navy

Note that as the cost of these was fully covered several years ago Boris has suggested any recipient makes a donation to their local Health Service or charity instead of sending payment. As he is a MD working hard during this COVID-19 period I can't see how we can refuse him :-) (I'll cover the potage costs from here).
So please don't request one if you are not happy with this arrangement.
Thanks, Steve
Wolfie

I didn't respond originally, but my only band has now started to degrade quite quickly. So I will wait at the back of the queue and if there are any left I will have two of any colour, navy being the preference.

Let me know if there are any left. I will PM you my address just in case.

Please could I have a navy one, or failing that, a purple one.

Many thanks

Thank you Boris and Steve for organising the dispatch of the sweat bands and also for covering the cost of the postal charges. :)

I ordered 3 pink headbands.

I am having problems trying to send you a PM. :?

I have tried writing both Steve Smith and then Wolfmiester in the ‘ Add Recipients Box ‘ but when I click on the submit box, a red message keeps coming, The requested users to be added do not exist

I very rarely send PMs, so I'm not sure why things aren’t working - no doubt just me being incredibly dim. Techlexia strikes again. :roll:

If Plummy doesn’t mind, I could send my address to him and then perhaps he would be kind enough to forward it on to you?

Good evening Steve.

I would be delighted to rehome a pink one if still available. I have sent you a PM detailing my address. Thanks to you and Boris for sorting this. Very much appreciated.

I will gladly make a donation in the name of Free Spirits to Yorkshire Air Ambulance, a charity close to my heart, particularly as it once rescued my severely injured friend after a mountain bike accident.

Wolfie check the paperwork in the box - there should be a complete list of „who wanted what“in there.

Was a bit worried about customs procedures- but glad that they arrived.

If you are not sure where give a small donation - I’d appreciate a small gift to Doctors Without Borders.

Thank you for your help Steve and Peter. :)

When I clicked on submit, the magic words, " Your message has been sent " came up, so hopefully Steve it has worked. My laptop, an evil entity, :twisted: rules the roost, therefore it's always a triumph when I sometimes get the upper hand. :fsbgrin:

I am going to make a donation to the Brain Tumour Trust. We have known several people who have suffered and died from this form of cancer.

My friend Janet's, husband, Alastair, was one of them and ever since, she has been a terrific fundraiser for the charity. Alastair was a doctor and a very popular member of our community. A lovely man.
