Oooh, bidding against yourself, Candy. I like it… (except that I’ve been outbid). This is the thing i most wanted on the whole site… but I’m glad it’s raising lots of money.
Hello! I think Candy wins the Internet. And the bunny too…. This is SUCH a brilliant communal effort, it’s completely restored my faith in the industry. Love to you all xxxx

But Debbie SAID I won so it must be TRUE!
Hmmmn…

Crushed with guilt.
WHAT have I done?
what can I say? I love bunnies
I love bunnies too- heck, I’d’ve thought that was pretty obvious but….
I LOVE you all much more. People- you’re utterly brilliant. Thanks so much.
I’ve got to go off on a variety of trains across the UK now to promote a non-bunny book, but I’ll try and check in as often as possible till the bidding is over. Good luck! Xxxxxxx
Huh. £181

Oh man. I think I’ve been outbid. But if it goes to either of you too, perhaps I might get to look at it one day!

Debi, I’m on trains all this week, too (in fact, I made that bid from one) – maybe we will bump into each other 😉
