I bought some raffle tickets using Paypal, the money has left my account but no pink bows show next to my name ??????
I did put a post on 'site assistence' but as yet no replies. Is anyone else having the same problem?

This cause is very dear to my heart as my sister-in-law was diagnosed as having breast cancer at 34 yrs old, 6 years later after having a mastectomy and lymph glands removed she is one of the fortunate ones who is in remission and doesn't have regular check-ups any longer. The reconstructive surgery she had is fabulous.

There can't be one family anywhere who hasn't been affected in one way or another by this disease.
Please buy at least one ticket, not for the chance of a prize but for the chance to be able to help others.
:hug: x

Sandi, I kept getting this problem because I didn't follow right through paypal until I got to the page to print out the details. If you pm Sam he will sort it for you.

 

[ValencianNails]

[The Geek]

They have passed us now.

Oddly they have managed to score almost $400 overnight!

 

[princessmowgli]

Sam is it at all possible to put their total on the home page as well as ours? That I'm sure will spur us on even more if we can see ourselves getting beat

 

[The Geek]

They have no way of releasing totals like we do. All we could do is post their last known amount.

 

[Cathie!]

Is Liza still doing her workshop place and 121 time for the raffle?

That could push it up a bit more.

 

[perfect pinkies]

Miracle in the Battle of the Nail Web sites

Date:​

Hi Everyone,




I have unbelievable and incredible news! The seemingly impossible has happened! With only 5 day left in the "Battle of the Nail Web Sites"- benefiting the Susan G. Koman Foundation for Breast Cancer Research- a world renowned organization supporting the forefront of cutting-edge breast cancer research.

An incredible total of $ 6419.92 US or 3332 British Pounds has been raised to support this enormously important cause and ... Amazingly





The US has pulled ahead of the UK as is now in the LEAD! Go USA Go!


Beautytech.com (US)- $3240 US or 1681 British Pounds

TheNailGeek.com (UK)- $3179 US or 1650 British Pounds

Master Geekster of the UK Geekdom site, Sam Sweet was stunned as he helplessly watched the Beautytech.com sweep past his sites best efforts to date. But never underestimate the UK Geek squad. They are a fiercely competitive bunch! Sam swears he won't stand for losing and vows to "pull out all the stops". Debbie Doerrlamm of BeautyTech.com is of course absolutely glowing with pride and satisfaction. She confidently serves up the following challenge on her website, "...come on everybody, let's show those Geeks what the "Good 'Ole USA is made OF!"

Right now, anyone could win but the fight against breast cancer has already won, so thanks to all who have participated and a final plea to those of you who haven't. Please send your donations today!



Track the "down to wire finish" by logging on to either: www.beautytech.com/contest or www.thenailgeek.com. (donations are accepted at these sites, as well)



Thanks,

Doug Schoon​

​

Now our total so far is £1685.50 and they have £1681.00..........

[Sassy Hassy]

Hey - a little unfair that Doug Schoon has offered a one to one to boost sales on the US side, don't you think? I wondered why they were suddenly catching up so fast.

Come on guys, it's the season for giving, so please give .......... I hate losing!!
