£10 for this one, it was my favourite and I saw from the vote results that I was in the minority!

£40, as a childminder, I have looked after 50 PFB's. It is my favourite, but didn't think it the one to send to my clients, so bought the names cards!

Going going ... last chance for any more Christmas card bids to raise money for Kids Company. The auction will close in half an hour and then we'll post the winning bids for each of the four original paintings. Thanks to everyone who has posted (and to anyone who's preparing to up the ante by sneaking in a cheeky last-minute bid ).
