Yikes! Now they're five votes behind me!

That should make me the 173rd voter, equal with the spots bike guys. So I'll post it on my facebook, and advise you guys all do the same.

174th ^^ I'll try and spread it around as much as I can. Would be awesome if you win

Thank you guys so much!

I climbed back up last night but they're still catching up and we're pretty much neck and neck. I have a feeling the wait until Sunday is going to drag....

Damn, they climbed up by seven votes. This is going to be tough, I don't know how many more places I can go for votes.

I read the competition rules, I think it's just the top 5 from each side will go through to a vote by a panel of judges....so it's not an instant win being number one... Best of luck either way!

The top prize is what I'm aiming for because I can give that to charity so I have a better chance if I'm number one. I'd be generally happy to come anywhere but I really want to give the money to the cat shelter. They're in dire need of it.

Thanks for your help, Jenevire and everyone else! If you want to be mentioned by name in my acceptance/losing speech, pop it down here and it'll be done!

Looks to me like you're gonna win D

I hope so, but I'm trying not to get too hyper or I might be disappointed. I got drunk last night and told some guys about it and that I was going to give 2 grand to Cat's Aid. One of them was down to his last tenner for the week and hates cats. Naturally, he was disgusted.

Okay, it's down to the wire now. Today (Monday) is the last day for voting. I'm in the lead but only by 11 votes, my laptop is having trouble for some reason and I might not be able to spam for votes much longer. Everyone's going to go for a big push to the finish tomorrow, calling in favours from people they haven't spoken to in years and promising revealing pictures to nerds on video game sites in exchange for votes (or maybe that's just me.)

Anyway, for everyone who voted already, thank you from the bottom of my heart. For those of you who haven't yet, please give me a moment and a vote!
