With a 1 month old orphaned puppy called Salvador 
"Yes it went well - completely mad drunken party but overall we have managed to raise £3,200 (half of this was from bids for prizes in an auction). Very close to target so may be able to make it yet - few have promised."I will keep the interactive widget for a few more days so, please help her get her target by simply clicking on it and make a donation!
My Blog buddy Rachel is also doing some charity...she and her little elves sell some crafts on Etsy. The proceeds from her sales are used to send Christmas gifts to children living in Russian orphanages. To this effect, I am adding another interactive widget on my sidebar showing the items being sold. I already bought a few things from her and I'm tellen ya they are fun!
I guess this is it...unless you want to be one of her little elves...go and check her post out here.

Hi,
We’re doing some fund-raising for a charity called Akanksha that I
recently did some voluntary work for. Akanksha educates kids who live in slums in India and believes that a
good basic education is the best way to help these kids help themselves. It is a
professionally run charity and I have visited the centres and can vouch for the
fact that the money is spent on the kids and not on lots of admin. We’re aiming
to raise £3,500 which is the running cost of an Akanksha centre to educate 60
kids for a whole year! This covers the cost of teachers, materials and field
trips. http://www.akanksha.org/ The Punch Tavern (99 Fleet Street, London) is combining this fund-raiser with
their Summer party for their Members on Tuesday 5 August. Come along if you can,
and/or please consider making an online donation via the following link to the
Just giving site of the UK charity Kinoe (Kids in need of education) which
raises funds for Akanksha. Hopefully a donation of £5/£10/£20 won’t dent your
bank balance too much and it will make a big difference to the kids. www.justgiving.com/davepocock Well, I’m sure you weren’t expecting me to ask for sponsorship to run the
marathon!
All the best,G
I've also inserted a widget on my tool bar on the left, should anyone be interested in helping her reach her
July 9th' edit: Like Hamish, we'll also give 500£ if you, Gitu do the marathon! ;-) who else would do it? Lee? what about Neil & Phillie?

I love this Guy! So does Bhavishya she calles him "Baby Jamie" (Wonder where it comes from? Well I call him Jamie Baby so she got the words a little mixed up! LoL).
We heard:"Hello, Uncle Wick (Rick) may I please speak to Cousin William"?
"Daddy, you say hello to Cousin William"...
