I hate to mention it...but the BANDA forum fund is running a bit low and isn't enough to cover the next batch of payments to keep the chat room and the forum google-ad free

I know you probably think why don't I contribute...well I do quite a bit, pretty much everything other than chat room/ads (just recently the 'privacy policy' was purchased due to issues regarding that!) so I can't really justify paying for it all unfortunately.

Our affiliate advertising hasn't raised enough for them to payout yet, I think Amazon pay out at £25 and Mothercare are similar...so we have a way to go for that yet

I know everyone is struggling for money but even if everyone donated 50p it would cover the forum running costs for a good while!

So if you really do want BANDA to remain as it is then please please consider donating to help it carry on!



p.s you can donate to paypal (forum@babiesandall.com is the new account as the previous one reached its limits with paypal!)), or you can donate 'forum credits' , this link shows how many credits we use for ad removeal http://www.babiesandall.com/t270-forum-funding

Lisa you shouldn't feel bad for mentioning it at all. You do all the unpaid work on the forum and so there is no way you should be shelling out too. I will make a payment and also i am happy to set up a small monthly direct debit if you have bank details x

Thank you Kate!!

Thats the issue with paypal, i don't have a banda account set up, so they limit it to £1000 of transactions, which we got to with all the collections we have done (so I just set up a new paypal account lol)

I really should get my butt down in gear and open an account for banda!

Lisa, i am trying to do paypal and it says that the address isnt registered with them? Is is forum@babiesanall.com or is it a mistype and its forum@babiesandall.com

I know its not much hun, but its all i have in my paypal account. I have just gave you back the money that u refunded me for reveloution i think.

Char

I have just done it - let me know if it works x

have made a payment hun. dont feel bad for asking. we all love banda and wouldnt want to lose it xx

i'll donate tomorrow Lisa, maybe we could all do a monthly subscription for a pound or two xx

Thank you ladies, we've had off Charm kate, Leah, Donna & Jo xxxxx

That would be a lovely idea

I'll see how that would work x

Sorry to be dense, but when i donated before i didn't need a paypal account. Is that still possible, as i don't have one? x

Done x

iv sent some but its not much, will send some more when i get paid x

ahh ffs it crashed, could you let me know if you get it, if not i will have to try again x

i will add some pennies as soon as i have some! i think jo's idea is a good one - if it was voluntary at maybe £2 a month im sure most of us would agree to it

Don't feel bad for asking at all Lisa, i always forget it actually costs to run the site! Sent some money, best i can do at the moment. It'll be in Matt's name.

You aren't being dense! I had removed the Donate button as I couldnt take any more into the account that was set up on

I have put a new button, bottom of the left hand side bar which will allow donations again to the new account.

Also Pinky I have added a subscription option in the same place

Thank you everyone! (also had off Gemz)

Dont worry, honestly, if everyone gives a really small amount we'd have plenty!
