We still get the odd charity ringing up from a capital city, but I just tell them I would rather my money stay in my country town instead of the big cities geting it.

When I was home on maternity leave many years ago, all of a sudden I was getting TONS of them. <br /><br />I asked for my name to be taken of the direct marketing register or what ever it is, this reduces it heaps. Also, no matter what their criteria, I tell them we don't own our house (that gets rid of a lot), there is no one in the house in the age range they require.<br /><br />My best defence now is as soon as they start talking I say " not interested thank you" and hang up.<br /><br />A friend of mine asks them "how much", they say it won't cost him anything & he says no how much are you going to pay me for my time and when they splitter that they won't be paying him, he tells them to stop wasting his time and hangs up.<br /><br />Oh and the God Bothers who come around, you can tell them you want to be put on the do not visit list and they are not allowed to come back for either 3 or 5 years.<br /><br />Hopefully they will eas up soon.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17809180814553643509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-50702875321505355542010-09-16T13:05:05.649+12:002010-09-16T13:05:05.649+12:00Get caller ID.

I hate begging calls too, they drive me insane, especially when they "thank" me for supporting them the year before ...WTF... I must have done it in my sleep because there are very few I support..like one or two.<br /><br />Keep your chin up, left you a msg on Pepsi.
