In view of the fact that the voting remains so close between GardeningLeave and Thrive can I suggest that whichever one we don't donate to this time we do so next year without having to go through this rigmarole again!

I would also point out that so far I've not voted and hope that I don't have to. However if the votes remain level then although I support Thrive I suggested GardeningLeave as an alternative and will vote for the latter.
 
Thanks to everyone who has voted so far, and there's still a day if you haven't!  :)

I have voted once, can I vote again.  I really, really know who I want to win.  Shame I didn't win the Euromillions or could have given everyone something.

Flighty maybe you are not the only one holding their vote back till the last minute.

However if we are going to follow your suggestion it is only fair I guess that third place goes to the year after next if we survive that long.

I decided that when I retired I would no longer give to charity, only the odd change in a charity box but no standing orders, but I think this is a nice idea and I will give as much/little I can afford, and it is so exciting to see who wins, so think it is a good idea as it just gives us all an extra push to give and see that all the good people on here are doing the same.  So without rambling too much, think it is a very good idea.
