Was £350 at Hartlepool General Hospital last year for my wife. You don't have to go to the Nuffield, the vast majority of NHS hospitals will take private patients.

Thats good then!

I'll see what I have to donate tonight

Kitchster_uk · 29 May 2008 at 20:26

If everyone who is in GD at the moment gave £2 now, we would have enough straight off! Also, anyone going by bak transfer will probably find it arrives within 2 hours under the new system. Mine certainly said 2 hrs

Done and bump - five stars

I'm out tonight and accompanying our lass to hospital tomorrow for a small operation on her knee - arthroscopy I think it's called. Once I get some time I'll confirm all receipts people request

Mail me at the paypal address above.

Will be donating to your account when I get to town tomorrow.

Gilly, does PayPal take a percentage for every payment sent?

Just asking as I think if you contact them and tell them what the money is for, they will refund the charges for you accepting transfers.

Double post.

Gilly · 29 May 2008 at 20:39

I don't know, I haven't managed to read the fine print for this 'premier account' thing I've just accepted. If they do either I'll claim it back from them or I'll cover the amount (within reason!)

DampCat · 29 May 2008 at 20:41

Done via PayPal.

Voting Bethany for the official OCUK forum mascot.

Best wishes to you, your wife and your daughter.

but having read the past threads on how Skywalker's daughter's situation is proceeding I get sadder and sadder at the situation. Read here, here, here, here and here..

Yes the first time I read those threads and saw this picture, it breaks you heart. Reminded me of my own niece. Piercing blue eyes, cheeky smile and food all down her front.

Donated via BT, don't care if the money ends up enough for a scan, a Big Mac, Toy or a holiday. Whatever it comes to she deserves it

Edit and thanks for setting it up Gilly

Mulder · 29 May 2008 at 20:43

Really touched by this story, I feel for you and your whole family Skywalker. I'm not a parent but I wouldn't know what to do with myself if something like this happened to my Niece. I'm only a student but many small contributions should help.

Please confirm Paypal receipt Gilly.

Valo · 29 May 2008 at 20:45

Done!

donated via paypal.

Mr.Orb · 29 May 2008 at 20:46

Been following Bethany's progress on here, its nice to see the community helping out.
I've donated via paypal.

Good luck!

Ive just chipped in via bank transfer. I hope it all goes as well as possible

Edit: just seen the picture, what a beautiful little girl.

syke · 29 May 2008 at 20:50

Dont have much money myself, but just sent some over bank transfer.

fail at the internets · 29 May 2008 at 20:51

I'll be getting paid tomorrow afternoon, i'll donate then

LizardKing · 29 May 2008 at 20:53

Donated with best wishes!

OzyOly · 29 May 2008 at 20:55

Can't be bothered with paypal. Sent it by bank transfer instead. Hope it gets there.

Edit - Well it said two hours with HSBC internet banking, so should be ok.

benneh · 29 May 2008 at 20:57

I Get paid at midnight so I'll gladly make a deposit then. Your heart really does have to go out to Skywalker, waiting for treatment is not acceptable.
