500th post

Who'd have thought I would make it this far?

This time last year I had all but disappeared and yet, here we are: my 500th post and to celebrate, I'm doing something different!

I have a certain amount of money (the equivalent of collecting 500 "silver" Australian coins of various denominations)  which I will donate to charity on your behalf!

All you have to do is indicate which of three charities you would like me to donate your share to! Simple, eh?

As the percentages of the poll fall, so will I donate the money.

I did have a poll widget here (which I had to get from somewhere else because Blogger will not allow me to edit my layout!) However, the widget would not accept your votes so I must ask you to leave a comment if you want to vote for your chosen charity - sorry!

The three charities are:
  • Medicins San Frontieres (Doctors without Borders)
  • World Vision
  • World Wildlife Fund

To those who read this blog, whether you comment or not, thank you - this blog would not be the same without you.

And a special thank you to those who are listed as followers - who'd have thought that I'd go from three followers to nineteen in a few short months?!

    What a wonderful way to celebrate your blog anniversary. I'll vote for World Vision - only because I already contribute to the worthwhile MSF and this would contribute elsewhere. Congratulations on 500 posts.

    Hey Lynne, my choice would always be Médicins San Frontières since I learned about them in my French class something like 14 years ago ;-) It's so cool that you are doing this!
