Rosehip Feb 2021 11:00pm, 27 Feb 2021 19,864 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip Rich celebrities doing a zoom-a-like advert from their big fancy homes for a charity which helps buy laptops for disadvantaged kids. Put your hands in your own pockets - you could do a schools-worth each and get your mates to help with others. Doing an advert for charity to get your face on the tellybox is very gear-grinding
Surrey Phil Feb 2021 11:42pm, 27 Feb 2021 5,842 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil Like Carp - my son. He has had a headache of sorts for over a week and thinks it's a brain tumour. Three telephone and two in-person GP appointments have told him that it isn't. Despite being told to buy a pack of Migraleve and see how he is in a week's time, he keeps moaning about wanting an MRI scan and asking if we would pay up to £500 to have one done privately! It's actually giving me a headache listening to his constant whinging.

Surrey Phil Feb 2021 11:56pm, 27 Feb 2021 5,846 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil I often wonder if some get their VMLM place by making a four/five figure charity donation so don't need to actually go around asking for sponsorship.

Pretty sure ds1 keeps things spick and span at uni but I come downstairs and the kitchen is a shit tip. Though he did tell me today that he refrained from cooking bacon in the wee small hours so as not to wake me up!
