please tell me how it works, because i feel mean, dazed, confused and perplexed that it passed me by, despite me being here way too often
and whats worse, that despite not having a clue what its all about, someone, some lovely person unknown, saw fit to nominate me, which is hugely touching and very very lovely, because i feel i probably contribute nothing but bollocks, mainly 
it was a lovely surprise and one that i really appreciate and am a little
by because, i didnt know anything about it.
and i still dont. I had a lovely pm from HQ, out the blue, and that was that.....i tried to follow the links but i still couldnt quite understand how it works and i missed the nominations. 
please would someone tell me what it is, how i get involved to donate, etc etc so it doesnt sneak up on me next year.
thank you. x
