RUPERT IS TURNING SIXTY!!
I know!
This man - THIS MAN - is having the sheer audacity to turn sixty years old at the end of June.
And still look like that!!
The nerve.
Anyway, what say we congratulate him by donating to a brilliant charity in his name?
After consultation with sources close to Mr Graves (*cough* the missus) we've decided to donate to Young Minds again this year as, let's face it, their work is still very much needed, more than ever in fact.
A JustGiving page has been set up here in anticipation of the day, (though of course if you'd like to get the ball rolling now, far be it from me to stop you!) and...
We're now accepting donations for this years fanworks auction!
Please spread the word as much as you can - here, Twitter, discord, community noticeboards, lamposts - and don't forget to bookmark the JustGiving page and set a reminder if you plan to donate. (And if you're not in a position to do that, shouting about it to other people is just as helpful!)
Hoping we can make this a special year for a special bloke's special birthday!
Thank you!

Thank you once again to all the lovely people who've contributed!
VIEW ALL THE LOTS HERE
Remember all bids are in UK pounds - you don't need to pay in pounds if you win but that's what you're bidding in (so an idea of the current exchange rate might be handy!)
Bidding closes 2200 UK time next Saturday, June 24th.
Bid early, bid often!

Reminder: item donations by the 14th please!
Firstly, an enormous thank you to the incredibly generous people who've already donated well in advance of Rupert's birthday on the 30th, and almost raised 100% of the target before June is even halfway done!
Secondly, another huge thank you to the people who've offered to donate things for the fanworks auction. Remember you have until Wednesday next week (the 14th) to offer any fic, art, crochet, sculpture, macaroni art, whatever you feel like that you think your fellow fans might enjoy! It would be lovely to get at least into double digits of items offered!
You can DONATE ITEMS HERE and read the general auction info here

Uhhh, hi... Is this thing on?
Goodness, is that the time! Yeah, might have overslept just a teensy bit.
So, if I get the ball rolling again...?
