I haven't got room in my house for principles!

As you may have guessed by now I am a crazy animal person. I am totally against testing on animals. As such I support charities which don't test on animals. I was clearing out my wardrobe on a late spring clean the other week and ended up with a large bag of clothes which due to my changing tastes and ever expanding waistline needs new homes.

I am too lazy to put these items on ebay and thought they should go to charity. Alas though at the moment they are taking up needed space in my bedroom as I never seem to make time to deliver them to the local animal welfare shop. They do not appreciate donations left on their doorstep in the evenings when OH is back from work. I do not want to lug the bag on the bus in the daytime.

Out at the local DIY store last night I notice a bin to deposit unwanted clothes for charity ahah....the answer to my problems! Alas no, it was a recycle bin for The British Heart Foundation who do test on animals. I will wait I say.

Today I get a bag through the post for Marie Curie charity, requesting old clothes great me thinks.... alas a quick search of the world wide web and alas they too test on animals. So tomorrow I shall lug a bin bag on the bus and with me to the doctors surgery in my vain attempt to hold the moral highground whilst doing my bit for charity. (and to empty my wardrobe!!!).

Dear readers, if you think I care more for animals than humans you are probably right however I do support some human charities as well as animal ones. Such as Macmillan who are my employers nominated charity. Last year the staff (including myself) managed to raise over a million pounds for this worthwhile cause. I also remind you of another notable charity, The make-a-wish foundation that my mum managed to raise over a thousand pounds for last year!
