I won the top prize in a raffle at a fashion show in aid of CHAS (Children's Hospice Association Scotland). It was an enormous beribboned basket of toiletries, bath bombs, nick knacks, etc. which I recognised as coming from B & Ms. I asked if they had donated the prize and was told that someone, who had won it in another raffle had handed it in as it was no use to him.
What was I to do with this prize? Neither of us uses the bath anymore due to difficulties getting out and in and it seemed a shame to destroy the gorgeousness of the package to extract the couple of things we would use. Off I went to the care home in the village who looked after Ancient Uncle so well, where they were delighted to have such a fantastic prize for their Christmas Raffle. I declined to buy tickets, in case I won it again, but shall watch out for it appearing in other raffles over the coming year. Bet it has raised several times its value for 3 charities already.
