Ladies, Gentlemen and Gentlemen who look like Ladies.

The time has come to hew my hair from upon my head and leave a charitable wake in it's stead and though I've now had the chop and donated my hairy mop to the Little Princess Trust, please don't hesistate to donate to this more than worthy cause. Let's see if we can reach the initial target...

So over to you, dig deep!

By the by, I'm going to assume that Oxfam's work is renowned and worthy enough to avoid lecturing.

Though feel free to check out their recent work in Haiti at http://www.oxfam.org.uk/oxfam_in_action/emergencies/haiti-earthquake.html.

The JustGiving folk would like to assure you that;

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
