in It's gone, but was it any good?
Following the success of last year's Christmas T-shirt auction, I wanted to do something this year. As I filmed Ready, Steady Cook last week, it proved the spur I needed to get something done. There are three different auctions you can bid on all of them if you choose. Every single penny raised by these auctions will go direct to the site's 5 charities

The Samaritans, Re_Cycle, Send a Cow, CAP Debt Counselling and Water Aid (see www.moneysavingexpert.com/aboout.phtml#charity)

For ease all the auctions have been done on eBay (they're done in Brendan's the Web Managers name for ease, so don't worry about that). I'll make sure the winners get the gifts in time for Xmas. I hope the following will make original Christmas prezzies for someone (or you).

Martin

Bid at the following eBay auctions (pics are in all of them)
MoneySavers Ready Steady Cook Apron Christmas Charity Auction
MoneySavers Personally Dedicated Money Diet Christmas Charity Auction

    Have a look here at the site charity fund (scroll down)

    re-cycle collect and ship second hand bicycles and parts to Africa. Local partners teach local people the skills of how to repair and maintain them, to improve their lives in a sustainable manner
