Charity Begins At Home

My beef for today is that i just got sent a feckin' toothbrush thro the post!! ..i could descirbe it but i thought it'd be far more productive if i posted a picture for all to see ... tho i haven't opened it, i can see the inside and it says 'please return this tooth brush and help children who have suffered so much' ...so? they have to pay to post it to me.. you can no doubt return freepost which they foot the bill for .. PLUS, they sent me a tooth brush that they want back and its all a matter of URGENCY ..why not keep the toothbrush and give them out to those who want/need them and avoid any payout to send it in the first place.. i have nothing against charities trying new tactics to gain monetary reward but in this project i just see a lot of expenditure which really puts me off wanting to help.. .same goes for charity pens.. i have a pot full of the things, some will work, some won't i suspect.. but they used to all be the same ... bulk buy and ship out at little expense.. but now i'm getting fancy pens thro the post with the name of the charity down the side and a lil motif.. again- save the money.. put it in your own charity money box and send me the neccessary evil if you have to.. *ahem
NB: just so you know i am not totally against helping out, i do make a monthly payment to help various charities, however, predominantly BLISS, Breast Cancer Care and Marie Curie Cancer Care
