How The 2019 Fundraiser will work.

How about a tombola?

You are missing the point fella, the point being that you are part of the organising team of said raffle......it looks like Im going to have to spell it out for you....so......
Say you, as an official raffle organiser win a top prize (regardless of whether or not you actually did the actual draw).
Do you not think, there would be eyebrows raised, folks a wondering that the dude that organised it... won the fkin raffle..
But hey ho if your happy with that... so be it.....it would not sit well with me though if I was part of the organisation team.......but maybe that's just me.

All my involvement is in the raffle is reaching out to vendors and listing prizes. To be honest Rob has done most of the work. That is all I have done and will do in this year's raffle. But if it's gonna cause so much fuss I will withdraw my tickets and just leave my money as a donation.

It's no a fuss fella, it's a given usually.

It strikes me that I have allowed myself to become annoyed about various innocent comments.
I will apologise except for my comment regarding filming the draw. Health issues have impacted far harder than I have let on. Carol does the majority of the typing now as the tremors have more or less made my attempts useless. She is now doing all the rebuilding etc and to be honest I am incredibly grateful but at the same time, feeling less able to cope with the frustration.
Unless we get a miracle it appears that this is how life is to be from here on in unless the deterioration accelerates, which we know will happen at some point.
I am telling you this for no other reason than to explain why at times I misread situations. It’s not a woe is me statement, life can become difficult at times and it appears that we have found ourselves in a perpetual cycle at the moment.
As things become more difficult I will have to take my leave, but until that happens I shall attempt to maintain some sort of positivity. So Tally Ho, onwards and upwards.

I wouldn't care if it WAS a 'woe is me' statement. The best of us would be entitled to the odd whinge with half your load at the moment. Thank you for explaining, it's easy to get in a downward spiral when things get tough. I wish you better days ahead.

@Rob
You are the number one Ape in my eyes Sah. I will be forever grateful for your help, and sterling work that you put in here. The time you put in here amazes me when you have so much going on in your world to contend with. Everyone should understand that we all have off days.
All the best
Jon

Interesting.

Not to add further fuel to the fire but I'm really not bothered who enters or who wins for that matter. I just pay my money and forget about it.

@Rickster is right in what he is saying but to me it doesn't matter

 

[knome]

Eh?? I'm not sure what's occurring in this thread but all my love and good wishes to @Rob

And @zouzounaki ... £1000 for a wedding... you was robbed, mate!

I don't know why Rob agreed to do the raffle again, he has a minor breakdown every time, regular as clockwork. I don't know why it causes him so much stress. It doesn't help that some of us apes like to poke each other with a stick ... but that's POTV forum life.
I sincerely hope Rob picks himself up and enjoys the rest of the last one.
