In fact, I've just thrown in the lone fiver that I didn't drink last night, so now it's only Â£5 to go!

I've just donated another 5 pounds (more or less $10)

Someone, who shall remain anonymous unless they wish to come forward, just donated Â£100 (on top of another individual who done the same yesterday).

And with that, the Â£500 mark was paid

Total Oxfam get from it - nearly Â£650!

Again, massive hand to all. There isn't an emoticon to express it, so I'll take the mower instead

Just donated a Â£5 to Dec.

I will be making a few inquiries tomorrow when i go back to work, to see what Leicester City Council are doing regarding fund raising.

Good on you all for donating, and come on the rest of you, hands in pocket time please.

Regards
Louis

I made a donation direct to the DEC by credit card. I imagine quite a few forumites will have done the same.

How does that Paypal thing work ? The link on the first page is just an email
address.. If I need to set up a special account or anything its proberly going
to be easier for me to donate direct from a card to one of those other site.

Its dead easy IF you have already setup a Paypal account. I say IF because when you initially set it up it will charge the credit card with a small amount which will appear on you statement. THis is basically used to verify you are indeed the card holder and not a fraudster. ONce you verified the amount charged thats it. To pay money, all you so is select the 'Send money' tab put the persons e-mail address in, the amount you wish to pay and hit send and thats it.

It is really simple but if you dont have a Paypal accout it might be easier just to pay direct to one of the charities

After several unsuccessful attempts to get dec.org to accept my credit number as real I donated via http://www.amazon.co.uk if you normally use amazon its almost a single click operation to make a donation.

Â£10 from me.

Keep 'em coming, everyone.

I'm away for a couple days on Wednesday, so after Tuesday night please make all donations direct via any of the organisations already listed on this thread, DEC and Oxfam recommended.

I will of course pass on any more money that arrives in my paypal account after that, but it might end up sitting for several days, and the sooner the aid arrives the better.

Once again, big thanks to everyone.

i'll donate via a dutch way, but keep up,the good work...

still 83 million euro uk donations (and 10 million dutch donations) seems like mutch, but per citizin it is only about 1 euro, so let's keep it going!

Sue and I are giving via her bank. But this is such a brilliant idea.

Just had a PM form one of our members asking how he can go about giving 100 quid.

Fantastic, what a fuckin great bunch we are.

After a couple VERY generous donations in the last 24 hours, the total is about to top Â£780, which I am just about to go to the Oxfam site to pay.
