Ashley Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 I was going to but wrist bands for my two nephews - but I'm a bit worried; I don't want to trigger any thoughts in them, particularly the youngest who is just 9 and already a perfectionist. 44286[/snapback] I doubt it would do that Penny, if someone is already OCD then they will have 100 triggers a day, besides they will see it more of a fashion thing, the current 'cool' trend.

Guest patsy Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I've already ordered four for myself, Jimmy, my son and g/f. We are all keen to wear them and I'm going to buy them for my 4 little nieces. Thing is I'm not sure what size to buy as the ones I saw them wearing look quite big. Do they always come in two sizes? Link to comment
Ashley Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 Do they always come in two sizes? 44311[/snapback] Yep, youth and adult sizes. Link to comment
Guest patsy Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Thanks, I'll let them try mine on first and see what they think. Then I can order them for them early next week. Link to comment
Ashley Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 One quote about the wristbands we have received: I think this is a fantastic idea. My boyfriend is a sufferer, and although I try my best to help, I sometimes feel I can't help all the time. This will mean I am showing I care 24-7. Good luck with your campaign! Link to comment
Guest charlienewman Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Hi, I was just wondering if a wristband ordered on Weds night has any chance of being with me by Sunday...i'm going somewhere quite important and want to wear it with pride! XcX Link to comment

XcX 44347[/snapback] Hi Charlie, All wristbands ordered upto 2pm today have now been sent out (adult ones). I also sent some out Wednesday too. If you can PM me your real name I will tell you which day I sent them. Link to comment

toffeecush1on Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Me too Rustle, I have been waiting for the postman all morning - why is he always late when you are waiting for something lol. Link to comment
Hurting Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Do you think it's wrong to look out for the wristband? It would be nice to see someone wear it on the bus, to know your not alone, even if they're only supporting the charity. Link to comment
Ashley Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 I have been wearing one but my arms are skinny so quite a bit of play in mine, might have to buy one of the youth ones when they come :lol2: I would to hear all your stories and experiences of wearing them, things like did people ask about them, what were their reactions when you explained the slogan etc. Be cool to get some imaginitive pics of you wearing them in strange locations like when you are away on holiday.

Not just for me or the charity, but for you guys too because this was a team effort, between us all we decided on the colour, slogan etc. Between us We have come up with a great idea which is not only going to raise awarness it will also make the charity some much needed funding. The local paper here in Nottingham ran our press release yesterday and we did have an upsurge in Nottingham residents buying them, so who knows I might actually see one out and about. I have also offered all the other anxiety charities the opportunity to get involved with the promotion and I will be writing to all Support Groups and sending them a couple of the wristbands.

Ashley Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 Overseas Postage Cost Update The postage costs for ordering 1-10 wristbands are as follows: Ireland - £1.03 Central Europe - £1.03 Rest of World - £1.37 So for example the cost of ordering 5 wristbands for shipping to the US would be as follows. 5 x £1.99 = £9.95 plus £1.37 postage costs = Total £11.32 For more orders of more than 10 wristbands please contact me for shipping costs. Due to the low weight of the wristbands it should not cost too much. Link to comment
