Wow Rompers & Neil that is very generous 
Looks like we are having an auction
As it seems to have turned into an auction lets say that it closes 12.01am on Monday morning... he highest bidder gets the goodies.

Re: Any one interested?
Could the Mods make this thread a sticky temporarily and rename the thread to reflect the auction for charity?

Re: Charity Auction!
I'm sending a cheque direct to NFF as I don't want the chocolates either. Do you want me to do it in memory of your mother?
