Hi everyone I posted earlier on today down in the about you section ..

http://dollchitchat.3.forumer.com/index.ph...opic=21209&st=0

I have been very lucky in that we got the payout on the insurance through and it covered what we had lost so I would have felt bad about taking all your very kind donations so I pm'd cath to say i'll send her the money and she could refund you guys BUT Poor cath is having some problems right now , as i'm sure you've noticed she has put her WHOLE doll dollection up for sale ,I do hope that cath is okay

Anyway I spoke to a couple of the ladies who very kindly donated to me and they were saying they didn't want their donation back but I can't keep it ,it wouldn't feel right SO we had the idea between us that if it is okay with all the ladies that donated to me I shall send £260 to Cath ( which is what she said was roughly raised ) to help HER in her time of need and we hope that this means she won't have to part with all of her dolls and hopefully it shall help ease the pressure a bit for her right now ?

And Cath can still send on the stuff she ordered for me so I can get stuck back in reborning but i'll feel great knowing the insurance paid for it but that someone so kind like cath was to me has had help again coutsey of you lovely ladies !!

So if everyone says yay or nay ( hopefully everyone will agree ) i'll get the money sent to Cath asap

Thanks guys

That's fine by me Catherine, it may help Cath to keep one of her lovely dolls!

Cath!

great idea Catherine wanting to help Cath out

Thats fine by me as well Cath Ann

ong , you ladies are amazing , tho first i feel i need to explain a little .
my whole collectionm was offered up for opffers , as the mergency which happened yesterday meant i needed to raise funds very quickly , and at that point i had no idea how much .
it turns out it is still quite a lot of money ( which couldnt have come at a worse time ) , but it isnt nearly as scary as i thought it was going to be .
i was expecting to have to lose maybe half a dozen of my favourite dolls , which have taken years literally to pay for .
but at worse it looks like i may manage by selling two. i will still have a small shortfall , but it isnt going to make anyone homeless lol.

on the question of catherines donations, there is one massivelly huge donation , which was made by one anonymous donor , and that will be returned without question ,as i would feel completely wrong keeping it , or indeed donating it elsewhere as it was a lot of money .
the rest , well to be honest ladies , it will help a lot at the moment , and as soon as i get this current mishap sorted i will make a smaller donation to charity , if thats ok with everyone.
i really really appreciate you all wanting to help , i dont think ive ever known a nicer bunch of people anywhere .
if asnyone would prefer to have a refund , or even to have it back and donate to a chosen charity of theirs then please fele free to pm me
dont really know what else to say other than thank you.
