Yes, this should be do-able.

There are several similar characters to the slogan on Hilary's stamp. Near enough not to cause offence I would hope. Wink


very freely according to Google translate. I haven't stuck a fish in any orifice yet.

An update to keep the frenzy of excitement going.

The sheets will be a limited edition of 50.  Young Hilary is probably numbering them with a big black crayon even as I write.  In order to stop fights breaking out we decided that the numbers will be allocated to folk in the order in which orders were placed.

Keep up the p word!

By the way, we've raised £318 so far.  Keep up the good work!

Yes there certainly are.  Send me a PM telling me how many you might like and I'll let you know how to get them.

The sheets have arrived from Hilary today.  There are two to a page so I have to guillotine them and get them packaged.  I suspect it will be early next week before they are in the post to you all.  But they are on their way.  I'll post again when I've sent them.

Folk who subscribe to the Pharos stamps have been sent their sheets along with the April Pharos issue.

The other sheets will be posted out first class or airmail in the morning.

Let me know if you want more.  I think we are up to £373 as of today so thanks and well done to everyone so far.Thumbs Up

All the stamps to Forum members and friends are now on their way.  So far we have raised a grand total of £399.  Don't ask me how many sheets at £12 each make £399!

I couldn't bear it so I lashed out and rounded it up to £400.  Which I donated today.  If we can rustle up more money (and there are sheets left for latecomers) then I'll make another donation.  The Red Cross says

"Thank you very much for your donation of £400 to the British Red Cross - Japan Tsunami Appeal

Your payment reference is: INC01083802

You have now completed your online donation to the British Red Cross - Japan Tsunami Appeal. Every day, we make a difference to the lives of people in crisis. And people like you make it possible.

Thank you"
