snowberry Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hello all.... *Shuffles into forum tentatively* I'm back! I haven't been around for the last year & apologise for that. I had a bit of a breakdown, but on the upside I sold my wreck of a house in Cornwall & am now living in sunny Scotland Don't laugh! The last 2 weeks have been so hot that I've been sunburnt in Glasgow, amazing! Onto my query... I did a charity skydive recently & raised a lot of money. A friend did it with me; she is young & broke. She declared £90 of donations as offline donations & I or the charity haven't seen the proceeds yet. Do I feel obligated to pay the charity directly (I was at the forefront of it all) & then beat the money out of her, or do I let it go? The charity deserve the money that was pledged to them, but I am unsure of where I stand on this (please ignore my legal training...) Much love SnowB xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I'd mention it gently as the first approach, then let the charity chase it. Many charities collect donations through the Just Giving website which might be good for them to consider next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hi Snowberry, No advice I'm afraid, just wanted to say welcome back! Sorry you've been through a bad patch but sounds as though things are on the up for you. That must have been a heck of a move up from Cornwall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Yes, luckily I sold the falling down house 4 days before the storms swept in. I now have a huge flat in a beautiful spot just outside of Glasgow. I should be looking for a job, but am constantly lured to the film set of Mr Carlyle most days this last month! All my other european fan friends have taken advantage of my proximity to the set. So far my flat has hosted France, Spain, Germany & Sweden. I feel like an outpost of the UN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
