If you're reading this and you know me, then you also know that I'm somewhat partial to a large chilled glass of Sauvignon.

Despite that - and despite the fact that January is a grim month which is much improved by lovely, lovely wine - I'm giving up all alcohol for the whole of January.

I'd be so pleased if you could support me by making a donation. You'll not only be supporting me, but supporting The Harry Matthews Bowel Transplant Trust. This fantastic charity is staffed entirely by volunteers and offers help to children undergoing bowel transplants that no other charity in the UK provides. 

Please help HMBTT continue the work they do and help make a difference to the children they support, and their families, as they face 2014 and the challenges it will hold.

In memory of lovely Haz and with special love to The Matthews xxx
