I know it's quite a refreshing change isn't it! We should do it every day!

[hogga]

So the Glasto should be younger thread has spoilt this day of positivity.

[norainplease]

Yeah but think how much it would cost us.

[Fairies for Change]

maybe if we're doubly positive in reply it won't count??

[Chazeboy]

as long as no one responds to these things they will go away, just try our best, russy has repented

and we can move on, yay!!!

It would be rubbish if we couldnt give that money, just because of a few people

Dear Mr Charles Watson

Payment Reference: cpwebwater

Amount: £25

Thank you so much for your donation. Your gift to WaterAid means we can do great things. It will help some of the millions of people who live without access to safe drinking water or adequate sanitation.

Ada lives in Mbalawala Village in the Dodoma district of Tanzania. She says:

"Life is so much better now that we have this wonderful clean water supply. Before the tapstand, I would get up at 6am and search for water until around midday. If I had managed to get some water by then the hunt for firewood would then have to start. By the time I'd finished it would be too late for lunch as everything had taken so long and there was no time for cooking. Myself and my children only used to have one meal a day back then. We would be so hungry all day. Now I can wash our clothes and have a clean home and we all get three meals a day. It only takes me 15 minutes to get water from the tapstand and my three children are all able to go to school. Can you imagine what a difference it makes to my life - It really is amazing."

Through the help of supporters such as you we will work with local organisations - our partners - to provide more villages like Ada's with access to safe clean water and sanitation. Last year alone our partners helped one million people gain access to water and one and a half million to sanitation. With your support we can help even more people.

With warm regards

Barbara Frost, Chief Executive

I came home from the pub last night after a few too many.. I think I read this thread, i.e. the positivity plan for today, in a bit of an alcoholic daze. I then spent half of last night having weird dreams about being really careful not to post anything negative today! Woke up this morning wondering whether the whole thing was just something I'd imagined! Glad to see it's gone so well, good job all and especially Chazeboy for organising.

[Chazeboy]

right off home now, well done everyone, a good day of positivity, See you all tomorrow

[hogga]

Well done everyone, especially Chazeboy for starting this. £25 going in the Wateraid bucket at The Glastonbury World cup..

[darrenbha]
