    Good for you! I have placed a bid on your auction to get it going. I dont live in Bradford so wont be requiring the massage but will happily send the money anyway if I happen to win! All I ask is that you be aware that you could get some weirdo so make sure you have someone else around when you do the massage ;-)
    Fair point made there are a lot of charlatons out there - I have amended the auction to show my intentions - the highest bidder will be there to see me pay the donation to DEC via the internet and it will be the full amount bid.

    I hope that is now clear on my auction.

    Yes I will definitely be keeping my husband around - I did try to make it clear on the auction that it was legit but I realise there are odd people out there - Thanks for your bid.

    Well done El! We have also donated.
    I think its great that you have kids who have done such a nice thing and I am not being patronising! I think its great when kids are brought up to think of others.

    td, well done you!

    Unfortunately I live in N. Ireland, so I won't be bidding for your massage.........(what wouldn't I give for a massage right now :-/)

    However, my kids and I have been giving in other ways.

    Wishing you the best with your appeal.

    Sorry I don't know how to PM (thicko!!) but you could just pop into OXFAM or ring the DEC number to donate but thanks very much for your support - I'm hoping when some of my local mates get back to work tomorrow and receive the email I sent them that there may be a few more bids as some of them work with some pretty well off folk. Though I've never sold anything on ebay that had good bids early on.

    Thanks for your encouragement though.
