Certainly can. You can, in fact, reactivate a cancelled subscription without having to re-enter card details, if you want
Problem solved ā¦ (if anyone tend to worry about such things.) @Kinetic you are a (tech) ālawā!
EDIT
I finally got from babbling stage to doing things one and commited my vow to Growth Club with share of 10 GBP with possibility of āupgradingā in the future ā¦
Four days, and weāre already up to Ā£290 a month in the Growth Club - seriously, I cannot even begin to thank you all enough. By the time we hit 1k, weāll have L2 Welsh (northern and southern) and Spanish finished and published in a couple of months - or even less, since we can start buying some of Jeffās time already.
Youāve already made a remarkable difference - and I have no doubt but that we will look back at this and see it as the beginning of a real change of gear for SSi.
@gruntius, @jonmcleod, @mikeellwood - diolch, diolch o waelod calon!
Is there anyone in here I havenāt thanked?!
@ianblandford - yes, all sorts of definite neurological benefits from intense activity like this - I can point you at some good books/articles if youād like

Cheers, thatās be great.
I so wish I could support this venture. Times are hard in Greece at the moment and I donāt have much work, so I am unable to subscribe at present. I hope that the recession will not last forever, though!
I really like SSIW and it has given me hours of entertainment. Have mangaed to change my phone contract to make up the difference for the growth club.
Who needs to chat on the phone when they could be learning welsh?
(Was quite interested in the brain leakage thing as well!!)
@Millie - thank you so much for even thinking about it! Itās obviously tough and challenging times out there right now, so thereās no way weād want to add any pressure - your good wishes are more than enough
@jenny_white_378 - wow - Iām pretty much speechless that you would go to the trouble of cutting other costs to be able to support SSi - I canāt begin to say how inspirational that is. Diolch o waelod calon.
Weāre up to Ā£350 a month now, which is already a gear change for us - Iāll have another round of making sure everyoneās heard about it once the kids are back at school, and then itāll be full speed ahead with mastering audio files and getting a Kickstarter campaign together
Wow. We throw this idea out there and go away for a week, and by the time weāre back thereās Ā£390 a month in the pot.
Youāre changing the future of this project. Heartfelt thanks to our magnificent 29!
If we can get to Ā£500 a month, we should have L2 Spanish and Welsh (north and south) completed in about 5 months, and then weāll push on with L3 (as well as the other languages that are going to be starting in the next few weeks). If we can get further than that, the timescale will come down - so it would be rather lovely if our most passionate and wonderful supporters could spread the word about this
Aran, I just know by this, you like me, are jumping out of your skin at the thought of completing L3 Spanish as well as L3 Welsh - so all our dreams actually come true! A rare event in this world.
Every month a little extra youāll see on your PayPal acount. 10 is too little for me and 20 is just a bit too much right now, so Iāll go way around to fit what I am able give at the moment.
I hardly wait to see what you prepared regarding other languages for us ā¦
Now Iām only a month from my first ever āproperā pay check, Iām in
Ooh, does that mean new job, Rachel? Llongyfarchiadau!
Ā£420 a month - this is turning into a game-changer
Yes! Graduated this year and will be starting a full time job in an office, thankfully no longer carrying heavy plates and trying not to spill gravy on brides! (I used to work in wedding catering in the uni breaks, brides who have red wine and/or gravy are the most stressful thingā¦)
I well remember the catering jobs - luckily we never did that many weddings! Good on you for sharing your pay cheques like this so soon in your career
GavinM:
some of us with the best will in the world, are probably unable to make this monthly financial commitment. A suggestionā¦how about drawing up a system where instead of committing monthly, those of us of meagre financial means are able to make a one-off donation to SSi for any amount we can afford?
At least this way, we would be able to feel that we are making a small contribution to getting the show on the road.
I really feel there would be no need for you to offer anything in return for such donations - you already give us so much with this wonderful ssi system.
Aran:
Gavin, I hugely appreciate your support, and take your point entirely. We can already dig out a ādonationā link to Paypal - Iāll fiddle around and try to get a link to it in this thread (although it might end up not happening until we get back from County Durham a week on Monday)
[/quote]
Aran, any movement on this yet? Iām still waiting to make my massive donation to the cause!
Just suggestion: what about PayPal email? Not that I give some huge amounts but I manage to send money directly without troubles ā¦ if youāre āimpatientā (donāt take me too sirious on this word, please) you can give it a try. I usually choose option as if sending money to family and friends so I can choose to pay fee along with ādonationā too and it works just fine.
Thank you for the reminder, Gavin!
So, in a very quick/dirty way, here is a link which goes to a donation pageā¦
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=34H5S6E4FYCAN
Diolch, diolch, diolch!
Diolch, Aran. I have now made a small donation via this Paypal link. Hopefullly (to steal Tescoās slogan) āEvery Little Countsā!
I wish that I could afford more (or indeed, to commit myself to a monthly amount). But as an OGR (Old Git, Retired) I have to manage my finances very, very carefully!
I hope SSi goes from strength to strength. It, and you, deserve to. Pob lwc.
PS Something for your āIT wallahā ā¦once I had made the Paypal payment, I was supposed to be directed back to the SSi webpage. But the message flashed up on screen HTTP404 āPage Not Foundā.
Agreed, when I donated through it some months ago, I encounterred the same thing but somehow (I donāt know why really) didnāt mention it here. So this redirecting really must be broken somehow. @aran drawing your attention. ā¦
