This year's charity choice for TMM's Christmas Appeal has been driven by the diagnosis of ovarian cancer in a very close family member. Hopefully caught early enough to give good prognosis, but a reality wake up call for us all.    

Throughout 2011 the Macro Man blog has continued to shun commercialism and remains income free but at this time of year we would like to ask that if you've ever made or saved a little money because of something you read on MM, or even if you've just laughed out loud once or twice, you would be able to help this very worthy cause.                                        

We wish you a very happy Christmas and New Year                                                   Pol, cpmppi and Nemo (Team Macro Man)
