Sam - Andie, Amanda and Carole will read this at some point today. Any suggestions are investigated thoroughly, so I am sure that there will be heating by next winter. Between the 3 of them, all leads are followed - we should call them the Blood Hounds Very Happy Very Happy

re: So near - but so far !!!

Hi,

reading all the above I can see all your points and this is something Amanda really needs to answer you all as she is there and knows what is going on. Andie and I put forward our ideas but then we talk to Amanda and can see why she does things her way. A guy did offer to go over and install the heating, which I thought was great but as Amanda says they have to stick to guidelines as this is a government building. Also, they need to have somebody they can trust to go back to sort ...
Hi,

A guy did offer to go over and install the heating, which I thought was great but as Amanda says they have to stick to guidelines as this is a government building. Also, they need to have somebody they can trust to go back to sort out any problems that may arise at a later date so no good bringing somebody in from miles away. Apparently the first tender that has come back was a stupid amount so we are awaiting the others.
Re the builders. Hopefully they will return in the summer to finish off, but again this is something that either Amanda or Michelle can confirm.
Amanda is off for a few days on a family holiday, so not sure when she will be able to reply to this.
Keep suggestions coming in, although sometimes what we think is the right way is not always possible or practical. We certainly will not go ahead with anything until we have the best possible price and have put it to you all for agreement (and obviously we need to get to the target figure!)

re: So near - but so far !!!

possibly getting stupid quotes as it is government building, is it pointed out to the contractors that work is being funded via donations.

Hi
I normally use the summer board but dip into this one also.
I have a suggestion - In the Tropicana?happy Duck in Sunny Beach all season they run bingo twice a week, not sure if its on this year as the owners might have changed but Gary & Steve (if you are listening) could you not use say 50 leva from the cash prize each time to donate to the fund. I am sure most holiday makers will be willing to see some of the prize money donated to such a cause!
50 leva twice a week = 100 leva each ...

50 leva twice a week = 100 leva each week over the season would be about 1800 leva. Don't know if this would help. Perhaps Pete could have a word!

re: So near - but so far !!!

Thanks Caz for this suggestion. Katherine Mills , the Borovets rep, raised money for us in a similar way.

Every single penny will all add up, nothing is too small.

re: So near - but so far !!!

Caz - What a brilliant idea Exclamation Ideas like that would work well on the coast. Collection points for clothes etc will be difficult due to the distance of picking up and taking to the orphanage.

Keep thinking and any help organising would be great Very Happy Very Happy

re: So near - but so far !!!

Borogirl calm down please read the following extracts from the near past:
....Buying our own place, so should be going several times next season ....

....We are buying in BG, although not to rent out, would it still be suitable for us ....

Just a few and I think all posted by you unless somebody else has got ur name as well.correct?
So again dont worry your place will become a paradise shared by thousants.
Just trying to help .

I havent grown since the last rain though.
Surprised Very Happy

Not sure what your point is Exclamation

I've never hidden that we are buying a place, NOT having a house built and NOT for rent and NOT in a resort. So no one would want to rent it anyway.

Sorry if you don't like me taking things to the orphanage or trying to help get what the children need.

If you remember, I did ask your permission to buy a place, which you agreed to Exclamation Exclamation

I can tell you haven't grown by your innane remarks Exclamation
