      Right. Now I'm doing some fundraising for an amazing charity called the Afghan School Project.

      So if you're one of my legion of fans, who are always (ha, ha) emailing or commenting to say"but how can we thank you?!" -- well, here's how. Click on the widget below to send a donation -- doesn't matter how small -- to the project. If every reader of this site sends £5, we'll easily hit our goal... it's all done over PayPal, but you don't need to have an account with them, just a credit card or bank card.




      It'd also be great to spread the word by displaying the widget on your own blogs/sites (click Copy), or sending the plea around to people you know. Thanks!
