Flowers for Mary King

[Happy Horse]

I am thinking it would be a nice gesture for us as a forum to send some flowers to Mary King. She is an inspiration to so many of us and she must be going through a very tough time right now.

I am very happy to organise this and for people to pay into my paypal account. This will rely on me being able to find the correct address (if anyone knows and could PM me I'd appreciate it) If I am unable to find the address I'll repay the money.

My Paypal address is beverley@barriedownie.com Please let me know if you make a payment.

I hope this is ok with everyone.

That would be great - hopefully I'll be able to get them off tomorrow. I have tried Googling but had no luck. If we get more than we need, I suggest we ask Mary to nominate a charity for the extra donations.

I would love to send you some money, funnily enough I just posted about this on the main forum post.
I would also like her address so I can send her a card if that is at all possible.
(If someone could explain how to send money via paypall I would very much appreciate it)
Such a sad end to what could have been a brilliant day.

I think you are right, the sum could get a bit out of hand so prob best to put an amount you think people could contribute. X

If we can get £2 from 20 people then we would have enough for some lovely flowers. Any extra I suggest we ask Mary to nominate a charity of her choice?

 

[wizoz]

I'm a bit thick, how do we give you money via paypal using your address???

 

[LauraBR]

Wonderful idea and I'm totally in, Mary is an absolute legend and my heart could break for her right now

 

[lucretia]

sure and i am in x

 

[monica987]

Let me know if you have recieved the money - has been sent to you

 

[NoCollection]

I've PM'd her address and I'm making a contribution. Well done for organising this and I agree that Mary should be asked to nominate a charity for any extra donations.

 

[Happy Horse]

OK I have the address and the money is starting to come in. I am giving £5 as have a couple of others. Is everyone OK with the charity suggestion for any extra?

 

[heidi123]

[monica987]

Yes - I think a charity would be a good idea. Glad you got the money and it makes a huge difference recieving flowers from epople - even if you don't know them

For anyone who is unsure about Paypal, you need to set up an account here https://www.paypal-marketing.co.uk/sendmoney/ and then just enter my email address. I'll keep updating the total on here as it comes in.

[haybales]

I would like to contribute but i hate paypal! how do i use it just with your email address?

 

[Happy Horse]

Just a small request - if possible can you put gift when you use Paypal as I also use it for business. If you have put payment it's fine but gift would be better. We are now at around £70.
